Additional features like hidden YKK zippers, pockets with silicone strip-lined chest pockets, and reflective prints boost both functionality and safety. The jacket’s environmentally conscious construction includes a PFAS-free DWR C0 weather treatment and bluesign® approved materials, packaged without plastic, highlighting Leatt’s commitment to sustainability.
