Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket begins this review with a clear purpose: to see whether the Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket proves itself beyond marketing claims. The jacket earns judgment only after real distance. Hands read materials, storms probe seams, and long miles show whether design holds its promise. After months of riding through rain and mountain wind, the Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket shifted from brochure theory to lived reality. A jacket breathes differently at highway speeds, bends differently after hours, and protects differently when pressure arrives.

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket also enters a decade of my testing experience, where hundreds of motorcycle jackets have passed across my shoulders. Patterns rise, strong design repeats, and rare innovation still surprises. This Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket has earned its place on muddy trails and long asphalt routes to see whether it ranks with the best. So, can this Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket review convince you it deserves a place in your travel kit?

I first noticed the Leatt Multitour 7.5 gear at AIMExpo last winter. A few months later, when Leatt offered a test set, I agreed because I wanted to see what the South African maker could deliver. After weeks of late spring and summer riding, the Leatt Multitour 7.5 gear proved far better than expected—though, like all ADV equipment, it works best when matched to the day’s conditions.

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket basic details

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket and its matching pants use a familiar structure: a protective outer shell with armor at the shoulders, elbows, and back. The shell uses ripstop fabric with Superfabric reinforcement in high-impact zones. This outer layer is not waterproof.

Water protection in the Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket instead comes from a removable HydraDri Max liner that doubles as a standalone rain shell. Its styling is cleaner than most rain liners; it won’t turn you into an outdoor fashion model, but it looks respectable.

I never used the thermal liner during warm-season travel, though riders without heated vests may appreciate it. It blocks cold well on the bike, but once you walk around, bulk and heat build quickly.

The Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket also carries two mesh chest panels and a rear mesh panel to increase airflow when unzipped. The matching pants follow this same three-layer design.

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket includes CE-certified armor, and both jacket and pants carry an AA safety rating. Leatt promotes its waterproof liner extensively, and from experience, it does a solid job keeping rain out. This setup suits long-distance touring better than aggressive off-road use, though it can handle dual-sport work if you manage heat carefully.

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket armor

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket ships with EN1621-2 Level 2 back, shoulder, and elbow pads. It also includes chest armor—EN1621-3 Level 2—something uncommon in ADV jackets. Leatt’s 3DF energy-absorbing foam uses a honeycomb pattern that returns to shape after multiple impacts and fits the body better than older rigid options.

The pants use the same armor at hips and knees. Hip protection shows up inconsistently across brands, so including quality pads at this price is noteworthy.

The front of the Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket offers several pocket options, including handwarmers, plus plenty of fit adjustments on arms and torso. The rear hosts a map pocket and room for a hydration bladder.

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket on the road

Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket stayed with me for thousands of miles through Flugistan this spring and summer, meeting the full range of northeastern weather—mostly heat and humidity with pockets of fog and rain. After all that, the Leatt Multitour 7.5 Jacket showed itself as very capable gear. It’s not perfect, but it is impressive, especially for the beginning of a new Leatt line.
