Gloves
Leatt’s new glove line starts with the 3.0 X-Flow with knuckle protection. Other features include anatomic 3D molded self-locating impact protection; genuine Clarino palm; vented X-flow mesh upper; pre-curved snug fit in a one piece seamless palm; durable silicone grip on index and middle finger; thumb visor/sweat wiper; stretch fit comfort cuff; multi-ply Nylon thread stitching; and CE certification for impact protection.
The 4.0 Lite has the same features as the 3.0, but the palm material is Nano grip material and the upper has vented 3D mesh material.
Finally, for colder weather, the 4.0 also comes in a Windblock version with the same features as the 4.0 Lite, plus wind-proofing and water resistance.

Helmet
The top helmet is the 6.0 Carbon and 5.0 Composite. Primary features include a patented 360-degree turbine technology, which is claimed to reduce rotational acceleration to the head and brain, decreases head impact at concussion level, and improves multi-impact protection. The reduced outer shell volume decreases the torque and rotational energy to the head and brain. The helmets offer neck brace compatibility, ventilation and are hydration hose ready.
Airflex Pro Knee Protector
When the Airflex knee protector first launched, it was embraced by riders attracted to its light weight. But some felt it was too minimalist, so Leatt answered with the Airflex Pro, which is a bit beefier, but still reasonably light. The new pads add extra top and side padding
