Hand it to WEISE this winter


WEISE® has introduced two new winter glove options to its range of riding apparel, both designed to keep hands warm and dry without compromising fit and feel; ideal for urban motorcycle and scooter riders and commuters alike.

Featuring a three-layer HIPORA®, THINSULATE® Supreme and Tri-fleece inner lining, the Sportec is waterproof and breathable (preventing perspiration build-up), warm and comfortable. It is also thin enough to allow freedom of movement, ensuring there are no ‘tight spots' to restrict circulation.

A waterproof YKK® zip at the cuff and elasticated wrist section ensure a snug fit over or under the cuffs of winter riding jackets, helping to prevent cold air and rain seeping through the gap, and makes it quick and easy to get hands in and out too. With a full-grain leather palm and textile back the Sportec is perfectly suited to winter riding conditions.

For the ladies, the new Selene glove is also waterproof and breathable - thanks to the Sympatex® inner membrane - and features a Tri-fleece inner lining for warmth. Soft nappa leather with stretch Nyspan inserts between the fingers offers flexibility, feel and comfort all day long. Fully adjustable Velcro® retaining at the wrist and cuff allows quick and easy entry and exit from the glove, and ensures a close and comfortable fit.

The Sportec is available in black/gun, black/blue and black/red, in sizes S-3XL, and is priced at £49.99 including VAT. The Selene is available in black/gun and black/white, in ladies sizes XS-XL, retailing for £39.99 For further information on this and the full range of WEISE® motorcycle clothing and accessories, call 0117 9719200 or visit www.weise-clothing.co.uk

Explore the new textile jacket from WEISE


The perfect partner for adventurous riders everywhere, the new WEISE® Explorer textile jacket is designed to deal with the unpredictable conditions that any two-wheeled journey - long or short - can bring.

Keeping the worst of the weather on the outside is a lightweight waterproof and breathable ISOTEX® drop liner, which doesn't add excess bulk or restrict movement. In cold conditions, the Explorer's removable 120-gram thermal quilted liner helps keep the body's core insulated and the 360-degree trouser connection zip prevents the jacket 'riding-up' and allowing cold air in. WEISE® Water Release System (WRS) channels rain water away from the jacket, preventing the material from becoming water-logged.

Even the external pockets are waterproof - it's the attention to detail that makes a big difference.

When the temperature rises, the wearer can utilise the Explorer's zipped venting sections to the chest, arms and back, allowing cool air to circulate around the upper body.

Protection is also a priority for WEISE® and a removable 3MTM belt and reflective piping across the shoulders and back help visibility in low light conditions. If the worst should happen, the 500/600 denier textile outer shell and CE approved armour at the shoulders, elbows and back offer high abrasion resistance and maximum impact protection.

The WEISE® Explorer jacket is available in black/light grey in sizes S-3XL, at a recommended retail price of £179.99. For details on this and the complete WEISE® range of rider apparel and accessories, call 0117 9719200, or visit www.weise-clothing.co.uk
