Leatt 4.5 HydraDri Boots - Graphene

THE BAD WEATHER SOLUTION

All-new for 2023 is the Waterproof, Leatt 4.5 HydraDri boot.

Leatt uses a fully waterproof, breathable inner liner to prevent the ingress from water, then seals the top using a tapered neoprene collar. Tested to surpass waterproofness of 20,000 mm+… so, what does this mean? Well, basically the liner has been tested to withstand heavy rain and wet snow under high pressure!

With a breathability rating of 20,000… so, once again what does this mean? As well as not allowing water in, this clever inner material allows sweat, and moisture from your body out, to help keep you cool! The flat inside gives a great feel of the frame, and the Jonny Walker-developed Enduro sole gives help when pushing the bike, and great gear lever and rear brake control. Leatt's SlideLock Velcro function really is groundbreaking in security fastening boot technology.

After each ride, wipe mud and debris from the shell and sole using a soft damp cloth; use a soft brush to clear packed dirt from the sole tread channels.
Air dry at room temperature — never use a direct heat source (heater, clothes dryer, open flame) as sustained heat degrades the HydraDriEVO waterproof membrane and TPU reinforcement panels.
Do not machine wash; avoid solvents, petrol, bleach, or silicone-based sprays on the boot body or liner.
Periodically treat the outer shell with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray formulated for synthetic or textile footwear to maintain surface water-shedding performance as the original DWR treatment wears over time.
After muddy or gritty rides, rinse the SlideLock closure and buckle mechanisms clear of grit that can jam the over-lock system; allow to dry fully before storing or re-using.
Inspect the neoprene sealing collar periodically for cracking or deformation — any breach compromises the waterproofing seal at the top of the boot.
Check the sole-to-upper bonding and sole edges for early signs of delamination, especially after exposure to fuel or cleaning agents.
Store clean and fully dry in a cool, ventilated location away from direct UV exposure and ozone sources (electric motors, fluorescent lighting), both of which accelerate neoprene and rubber degradation.
Allow a break-in period of several rides before expecting a fully customised fit; the liner and upper will progressively conform to your foot shape.
