Leatt ADV 7.5 Dritour Textile Jacket - Iron

Bought the Leatt ADV Dritour at reduced price which made it more affordable. Product seems to be exceptionally high quality with a superb technical specification. Also came with high end body armour for chest and back included in the price which most manufacturers do not provide. Very warm liner jacket which can be worn on its own which will be handy on tour. Jacket is super warm and waterproof so will be great as I live in Scotland where weather is always challenging. Sizing is accurate.... I am usually a 42" chest/large size and I ordered a Large which fits perfectly even with the front and back armour fitted and the thermal jacket. Some reviewers suggested it was small fitting but that has not been my experience.
Bought at same time as matching trousers.... awesome touring suit and I am super super happy.

Jacket seems ok , I think it would be better with a longer zip at the back because it's a fiddle trying to get my arms back there to hook it up. Also think it would be better with zips on the cuffs instead of relying solely on velcro. Can't say anything about waterproof because not been out in the rain.

This jacket is seriously impressive. The ventilation is fantastic with plenty of airflow when you need it and the jacket stays super comfortable even on long rides. The adjustability is one of its biggest strengths. You can dial in the fit just the way you like it, and that makes a huge difference for both comfort and confidence on the bike. The materials feel solid, the design is well thought out, and everything just works the way it should. My favourite feature is destination jacket.

I’d been looking at Leatt gear for a while, and when SBS put this jacket on offer it was a no‑brainer.
It delivers high‑end quality without the high‑end price. The features are brilliant — I especially love the magnetic fasteners on the pockets and main zip.
It kept me completely dry during a 100‑mile ride in heavy rain.
The liner is very warm too, and works well as a standalone destination jacket.

Sizing runs a little small, so I went up one size.
I used the try‑before‑you‑buy service at the Preston shop, which made it easy

The quality of design and manufacture is on the same level as brands like Rukka which I use for cooler weather. This will be my summer holiday jacket but not at Rukka prices. I always take a size 52 and a large in this jacket fits perfectly. It has an understandable 52 label. Recommend Sportsbikeshop offer them in sizing we all understand! Top marks here for the product.

Proper waterproof laminate jacket without the silly price. Warm liner does it's job without bulk so when removed the jacket doesn't get too loose. And liner is a nice off the bike jacket to wear without flappy fasteners visible.

Comes up very very small normally a large but had to go to 3x to get a good fit

This is a very good looking jacket, the fit is a little snug, so might be worth going up a size if possible, it has a high collar which is a bit restrictive but workable with. The material is heavy duty and seems waterproof, I’ve only worn it in light drizzle so far and it kept the rain out then, the downside is the reduction in breathability so it can be quiet sweaty, it does have venting which have magnetic fasteners these work but could of used a couple more on the arms. The best feature is the thermal destination jacket this is an amazing jacket comfy, smart and warm enough to be worn out on its own.

Bought this on a really good offer from SBS as it had chest protectors and I wanted something to use for some light off-roading. SBS were their usual brilliant selves in fulfilling the order and the jacket seems to be a quality piece of kit on first impressions - with one minor annoyance. One of the velcro fasteners at the side of the jacket on the hips pops open when you move or twist, but it's not a problem when sat on the bike. Otherwise, I've worn it twice in temperatures from 5-6 deg C to 12-13 deg C and it's really warm with the thermal liner in. I've had a few sprinkles of rain but not really tested the waterproof qualities yet, although no reason to doubt it will do what it should. I did buy a size up and it fits like a glove.

I recently rode from John O'Groats to Lands End through heavy rain and the jacket kept me dry.
My one slight criticism is that I couldn't seem to get the collar tight enough to keep the rain out although a buff did help.

Could do with some arm airflow but chest to back is great. Detachable inner jacket is really useful.

The jacket is great, it kept me warm on cold mornings and dry in a deluge. The air flow is pretty good for a laminated jacket but I have not tested on the hottest of days.

All armour including the chest is L2 which is amazing for the cost.
The jacket sizing comes up a little small and you need to size up. I am a size 38" chest and required a medium.

I'll start with the good stuff…
Great fit an feels really protective with a full set of armour, including chest protection.
Totally waterproof. Rode through an hour of torrential rain a couple of days after buying the suit, and all good.
Two minor downsides…
The Velcro on the sleeves is a tad short with winter gloves.
Because of the design, the neck is a bit low, but solved by wearing a next tube.

All in all, good stuff.

I had my doubts at first, as there were no reviews about, other than the official Leatt vid with Llewellyn from Brake Magazine, but I was looking for a laminate for touring, and most of the Gore-tex ones I tried were far too long in the sleeve for me (Rukka, RevIt, Klim), whereas this was the closest match I could find. I hummed and hawed over XL/2XL, but decided that the XL was roomy enough; besides, the 2XL rode up too much when I sat on the bike. My first run out wearing it - it rained, so I got to watch the water beads run off the front and the sleeves, nice. I didn't have the inner in, but didn't feel the cold from the rain. BTW, the inner is a really nice comfortable and warm unit that functions very well as a standalone jacket. My second outing ended up being 21 degrees, so I opened out the chest vents. At first, I didn't think they were up to much, as I couldn't feel the breeze on my chest (the chest armour is immediately behind the vent, so no surprises there, having seen the mesh holder for the armour I can tell that there'd be immediate & direct air if they were removed); however, 5 mins later, and I could feel that my chest was cooler for having the vents open.
It feels like a heavy jacket, but it could be that I've become too used to wearing a mesh over the summer.
Overall, I'm very pleased with it - the armour is larger than most other kit I've worn, covering a larger area, so feels safe, whilst fitting well - i.e. staying in place - and staying light.
