Six adventure bikes, a muddy enduro track, lousy weather, and one clear mission: push the limits. At the 2025 Offroad Test Days on the Red Stag terrain, we have the Yamaha Ténéré 700, Honda XL750 Transalp, Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE, Aprilia Tuareg 660 Rally, Can-Am Origin, and Fantic Caballero 500 Rally at our disposal. What do they all have in common? They need to prove their worth in rough terrain. And us riders? We're exclusively geared up in Leatt Adventure apparel. Two different suits, two boot models, and a pair of gloves accompany us through mud, rain, and rocks. Spoiler alert: The conditions are perfect for some serious testing.

When the Weather Takes a Turn: The Leatt MultiTour 5.5 Suit

Our Offroad Test Days were marked by rather modest weather, with a rainy start and surprisingly cold temperatures for early May. The Leatt ADV MultiTour 5.5 Jacket and Pants were spot on, as they form a robust, weatherproof unit. Ideal for temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius, this three-layer suit proves to be a versatile all-rounder in the changeable spring climate. The waterproof inner jacket with HydraDri EVO membrane offers a water column of 20,000 mm while maintaining 20,000 g/m² breathability, which was much appreciated during the continuous rain on the first Offroad Test Day. Additionally, Leatt offers an internal thermal layer, making the suit suitable even for truly cold conditions.

Thanks to the modest weather at the 2025 Offroad Test Days, the Leatt MultiTour 5.5 Suit was able to demonstrate its versatility.

As soon as we tackle the tougher trails at Red Stag, we all quickly warm up, prompting the MultiTour to reveal its other side. In the heat of the action, the well-thought-out ventilation impresses: large ventilation zones on the chest with a practical, magnetically held-open flap, a large area on the back, and air inlets on the arms and legs ensure a pleasant airflow, even during physical exertion on technical sections. The Level 2 protectors consistently sit securely and comfortably, instilling confidence without feeling bulky. Many practical details, such as the hydration system preparation, large pockets, adjustable fit, and excellent freedom of movement, make the MultiTour a pleasant companion during our Offroad Test Days.

The entire area between the zippers and up to the visible magnet can be folded open. The same system is found on two large ventilation panels at the front, allowing for excellent airflow and a pleasant cooling effect.

Light, Breezy, Cool: The FlowTour 5.5 in Summer Mode

The Leatt FlowTour 5.5 Suit features more mesh panels in its outer material, making it airier.

Hardcore offroaders aren’t fazed by a bit of bad weather, as they're so active tearing through the terrain that they hardly feel the chill. That's why our pros Busty and Adam opt for the Leatt ADV FlowTour 5.5 Suit. For those looking to feel more airflow or who frequently ride in high temperatures, this airy ADV motorcycle suit is a great choice. Fit, protectors, and features are impressive here too. However, the extensive mesh panels focus on one thing: maximum ventilation. On the second and third days, the skies clear up, and it becomes noticeably warmer. An active riding style means you’ll work up a sweat. The FlowTour Suit offers almost as much airflow as a light jersey, making it a solid choice even when temperatures soar above 30 degrees Celsius. It’s also slightly lighter than the MultiTour, which Busty appreciates in challenging terrain. Thanks to the HydraDri EVO technology rain jacket, the suit remains usable even with weather changes. This jacket can be worn over the mesh jacket for extra warmth retention, or simply underneath. The result is an incredibly flexible, sporty suit that appeals to active riders. If you want to hit the offroad trails in summer conditions and still be prepared for any weather surprises, this is the perfect choice.

Thanks to the waterproof jacket that can be worn both over and under the suit, the FlowTour Suit is also suitable for cold, wet riding days.

Soft Meets Sturdy: Comparing the ADV HydraDri 7.5 and Boot 3.5

Boots are a matter of trust, especially offroad. Our hobby endurists rely on the ADV HydraDri 7.5 Boot from Leatt for their tests. It impresses with its robust yet not overly stiff construction, high comfort, and complete waterproofing. Perfect for rain, puddles, and cold weather. It also provides more feedback for the gear shifter and brakes than hardcore offroad and motocross boots. Ideal for adventure riders. Professional rider Busty, on the other hand, opts for the regular Leatt Boot 3.5. He requires a firmer, more stable shoe for high speeds and tough maneuvers. The 3.5 is not a bulky block but still offers a good wearing experience for a sport-oriented boot. For those seeking comfort with maximum weather protection, the 7.5 is the choice. For those needing sporty stability, the 3.5 is the way to go.

The HydraDri 7.5 Boot is waterproof, robust, yet comfortable, making it ideal for adventurous tours.

Grip, Protection, and Lightness: A Detailed Look at the ADV X-Flow 7.5 Gloves

Good gloves are the ones you forget you're wearing while riding—they just work. That's exactly what the ADV X-Flow 7.5 Short Gloves from Leatt do. They're extremely lightweight, wonderfully soft on the inside, yet provide excellent grip, even in wet conditions. The NanoGrip technology in the palm ensures precise control feel. Additionally, there's a very comfortable knuckle protection made from Reaflex Gel, which doesn't press or add bulk despite its protective function. Overall, these gloves are the perfect complement to the suits—light, airy, and secure. For demanding offroad rides, they are a clear recommendation.

The Leatt ADV X-Flow Gloves are very comfortable to wear and provide a good grip on the handlebars, even when the grips are wet and muddy.
