MCN Kit review: Weise Victory gloves

They look sodding excellent and for the style and the price also offer a surprising level of protection. It’s amazing what a difference having knuckle armour makes to your perceived level of safety, and this seats very neatly on my hands, in the correct area, and with no rubbing.

WEISE Rainmeister 1-piece Oversuit

On average up to 10” of rain falls in Britain every summer, with localised thunderstorms increasing the prospect of getting caught in a downpour, so the Weise Rainmeister 1-piece oversuit will provide practical insurance against getting soaked. Strong, light, portable and completely waterproof, the Rainmeister is as easy to transport as it is to put on and take off, making the perfect riding companion for the English summer, or long distance Continental tours for the more adventurous.

Manufactured from lightweight nylon with taped and welded seams, the Rainmeister is designed to keep the water on the outside. Meanwhile on the inside there is a mesh lining in the body and arms, making it easy to pull the Rainmeister over leather jackets and jeans. A full length YKK® zipper runs from the thigh to the collar, reducing the amount of bending and stretching required to get into and out of this 1-piece oversuit and, with long zippers at the ankles, the Rainmeister slips smoothly over chunky motorcycle boots.

Adjustable popper-retained straps on the chest and arms allow the wearer to create a snug fit and the adjustable belt incorporates a stowaway bag into which the suit can be folded for carrying when not in use. Finishing touches include a soft lined collar and reflective strips on both arms and legs for safety in poor visibility.

Available in sizes XS – 5XL and priced at £79.99 including VAT, further details on the Rainmeister and the complete 2010 WEISE® range of rider apparel can be found at www.weise-clothing.co.uk or call 0117 971 9200.

The Weise is right for Grossglockner

This picture shows Tim Britton, editor of Old Bike Mart and Classic Dirt Bike magazine, negotiating the Grossglockner in what can best be described as challenging conditions. What makes this picture more remarkable is that it was taken at 5.30pm, Saturday 19 June 2010 (when most of the UK was experiencing a heatwave). At 3,798m it is not only the highest mountain in Austria, it also counts among the highest peaks in the Alps.

"When the going gets tough... The tough wear Weise!" says Tim.

Women - travel with a Tatu

WEISE® has added a waterproof leather boot specifically designed for female riders to its extensive motorcycle clothing collection. New for 2010, the WEISE® Tatu boot is designed to look good both on and off the bike, with a small raised heel and subtle, stylish detailing on the outer ankle.

The Tatu doesn't just look good though. Supple leather construction and large flex panels at the rear offer superb comfort when riding and walking. Elasticated sections at the calf offer wearers the option to tuck leathers or jeans into the top of the boot.

In addition, the DINTEX® waterproof and breathable lining keeps the wearer dry and comfortable throughout even the worst weather conditions.

Manufactured with a robust leather upper, the Tatu has a fully integrated shin plate and reinforced heel cassette, making this boot tough and durable.

The WEISE® Tatu boot is available in sizes 36-40 (UK 3 - 7) in black at a recommended retail price of just £89.99. All WEISE® products are covered by a two-year, no-quibble warranty for complete peace of mind.

Thundersprint 2010

The sun beat down, cheering crowds packed the two miles of Cavalcade route five deep and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire climbed into a brilliant blue sky to salute Thundersprint 2010. Race entries ranged from pre-War bikes all the way to the two week old Norton 961 and stars shone too - Chris Walker, Steve Parish and Danny Webb to name three. However, none of them sat next toour Phil on the Weise furry sofa (above)! Look out for Weise clothing at events around the UK.

"There was fabulous racing which gave great entertainment to the crowd and delighted traders. But, best of all, there was nothing but happy faces - and that’s the reason we run the Thundersprint" said organiser Frank Melling (pictured in his Weise leathers, in which he races classic bikes).
