Leatt HydraDri 3.0 V26 MTB Jacket Waterproof Breathable Mountain Bike Jacket

The Leatt HydraDri 3.0 MTB Jacket V26 is engineered to provide exceptional protection against the elements while maintaining comfort and mobility for mountain bikers. Crafted from advanced HydraDri Evo 2.5L fabric, this jacket guarantees a remarkable 20k mm waterproof rating paired with 20k/m² breathability, ensuring that you remain dry and comfortable even in the most challenging weather. The innovative 2-way stretch material adapts to your movements seamlessly, allowing freedom on every trail without restriction.

Designed with practical features that enhance performance, the HydraDri 3.0 includes the Ride Adaptive Hood (RAhD) with a unique magnetic system that attaches easily to your helmet or back for convenience. The ClimbVent system allows you to ventilate effectively during tough ascents by partially opening the jacket without compromising protection. Reinforced elbows provide added durability against scrapes and impacts, while hidden YKK zippers keep your essentials secure and shielded from moisture.

Beyond technical performance, this jacket also emphasizes sustainability and thoughtful design. It utilizes a PFAS-free durable water repellent (DWR) coating to shed water and mud responsibly, and the fabric is bluesign® approved, reflecting Leatt’s commitment to environmental standards. Reflective prints and zipper pulls enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making this jacket a reliable choice for those who demand both function and eco-conscious craftsmanship.

What It’s Good For

• Keeping dry and comfortable in wet and variable mountain biking conditions
