Leatt protective gear

Leatt is a globally recognized brand specializing in specialized protective gear for high-risk sports, including motorcycling, mountain biking, and off-road racing. The brand achieved international fame following the invention of the Leatt-Brace, a neck protection system designed to reduce severe neck injuries. This innovation revolutionized safety standards in extreme sports.

While the research, development, and engineering phases take place at the Leatt Lab in South Africa, the physical manufacturing of helmets, body armor, and apparel is primarily outsourced to specialized facilities in China and other Asian manufacturing hubs. This allows the brand to maintain high technological standards while scaling production for a global market.

Structurally, the brand is owned by Leatt Corporation, which is a publicly traded entity. The company remains deeply rooted in its South African heritage, directed by its founder, though it operates with a corporate headquarters and distribution network that spans across the United States and Europe.
