Leatt Announces New Apparel Collection with Cargo Carrying Features
PRESS RELEASE: Leatt
New All Mountain Collection Features Innovative Storage Solutions
The jerseys, pants, and shorts offer integrated storage features so riders can carry everything for all day rides without needing a pack -- Using a concealed waist strap built into the jersey, and a tunnel at the back waist of the pants.
We have reinvented our All Mountain product collection with all-new jerseys, pants, and shorts that offer a thoughtful integration of cargo carrying features. This range of apparel allows riders to comfortably carry what they need for all day adventures without having to wear a bulky pack.
The ALL-MTN Jerseys are built with innovative cargo pockets and a hidden waist support belt. This acts as an integrated hip pack built directly into the jersey, while the waist belt keeps everything in place, preventing the annoying feeling of saggy jersey pockets or a shifting hip pack. A carrier loop on the chest provides safe and convenient sunglass storage. The ALL-MTN jerseys are offered at four price points with sizes ranging from XS to XXXL.
The long sleeve MTB 5.0 ALL-MTN Jersey, retailing at USD $119.00, is a high-performance all-weather option with a windblock front shell and insulating fleece lining. The long sleeve MTB 4.0 ALL-MTN Jersey is the warmer weather version of the 5.0, without the windblock front & better ventilation all around, retailing at $89.99. The 3.0 Jersey, retailing at USD $74.99, is the short sleeve version of the 4.0. jersey. All models are made with sustainable, eco-conscious fabric that offers a natural cooling function. The 5.0, 4.0 and 3.0 Jerseys offer the hidden, low profile hipbag feature, with integrated pockets on the back.
For riders looking for a more budget oriented option, and not necessarily in need of the stabilizing waist belt feature, there is also the 2.0 jersey that combines a technical, performance fabric with the casual style of a t-shit (USD $54.99).
ALL-MTN Bottoms:
The ALL-MTN pants and shorts include the unique Rear Mission Pack, which is a tunnel style pocket designed for holding a convertible helmet chin bar, protective gear, or a jacket. For chin bars, two additional loops hidden in the tunnel can be used for a more secure fit without annoying movement.
Cargo carrying capacity is further maximized with four water resistant and padded pockets, plus a key loop. The durable 4-way stretch outer shell is dirt and water resistant while offering superior comfort and increased breathability. The knee and crotch sections are made of a very flexible yet robust, aramid-like “Rockstrike” material. These pants and shorts are designed and constructed to be durable in the roughest riding conditions.
The ALL-MTN 5.0 Pants retail at USD $179.00, and the 3.0 Shorts retail at USD $139.00.
Rounding out the All Mountain collection are the ALL-MTN helmets, featuring extended rear coverage for added protection, with adjustable/breakaway visors and Maxiflow Air Channels for impressive airflow. All Leatt helmets feature 360 ̊ Turbine Technology. This system reduces both rotation acceleration and concussion level impact energy to your head and brain, so you can be more confident to push your limits. The Leatt ALL-MTN helmet line extends across three sizes and four price points, ranging in retail price from USD $69.99 to USD $199.99. Leatt's convertible Enduro helmets are a perfect fit as well.
The updated Leatt All Mountain collection offers innovative storage solutions unmatched by anything else on the market. No other manufacturer has integrated so many different storage solutions into a collection of mountain bike clothing.

Yes, I am a leatt emplyee, but it really does work.
Even if I just tested the chin bar attchment to get to know if/how it works. I use the tunnel at the back only for kneepads and / or a light rain jacket.
The look of the pants had to grew at me, first, but at the end the combo of a shitload of flex, but still very robust material at crotch and knee made it my favorite riding pants. the all black one also doesn't look too outdoorsy. Had only be riding Leatt DH pants in the past, also for trail riding.

This is such a strange thing to see from a safety brand.
Nope
I do get the argument in general with not packing hard stuff at spine, but on the Chin Bar at back of the hip: you only wear it there on long climbs, very low speed and quite unlikely to crash, because when the DH part starts, you will put the Chinguard back onto the helmet.
Short: the chin bar storage is for Climbing.
And many I guess will like me not use it for these, but pads and jackets.
If I use a rucksack whilst out on the bike then I make sure it's one with back protection
I'm a man, and pretty much always either a medium or a large in MTB clothes, depending on the manufacturer's sizing, and how much "bulking up in the off season" I've been doing.
I've had a couple Leatt Jerseys and shorts in the past, and was somewhere in between those two sizes.
Last year I ordered a Leatt Jersey and pants in a Large, and they fit like a skinsuit. I exchanged them both for XL, and they were still in the "a bit too sexy" size range.
I went back and checked the product page, and didn't see anything unusual. Then later on at a few group rides I ran into a few women wearing the same jeresy. I went back to the product page, and didn't see anything specifying that they were for women. But the sizing made much more sense as women's sizing.
To be clear, I've got no issue wearing "women's" gear as a man. I just want to be able to order the right size.
Having followed and discussed shopping for fitting clothes more with women, I'd say that a) the absolute majority does find the best fitting clothes from the women's lines and b) the ones with maybe less curvy bodies have no issues shopping around in the men's section. I would guess that less (cis) men have the need for clothes designed for that more or less hourglass shape, but indeed like you pointed out, many of the ones that would find better fitting clothes from the women's line don't want to buy those. I'm not going to go to the whole societal aspect here on PB, but I'm not sure if getting rid of the gendered labels is the only solution to this.
Being a tall woman myself - shaped like a stereotypical woman, but the size of an average man - this has definitely always been an issue for myself. I'm often too tall and wide for the women's stuff (for example Leatt has nothing to offer to me - although I'm partially assuming as they give no hip measurements for their clothing), but my proportions also don't work with the men's clothes. Even shoes can be difficult, I have often get mine from the men's line, but often I'd also want to have the women's model in a larger size but it doesn't exist. But yeah, from all the gear especially sports shoes could and should easily be rid of the gendered labelling, instead offering the different models (and colours) in a wider size range.
Is that tech all mountain specific?
The style might not please the enduro-bro type tho

Me (contrite): I am sorry, I thought it was my riding pants!
