Weise Hydra review in Ultimate Motorcycling


Leather - it's without a doubt the ultimate choice for most motorcyclists when selecting apparel [writes Ron Lieback in Ultimate Motorcycling, USA]. The abrasive-resistant material has been protecting skin since the heyday of those sudden misfortunes associated with two-wheel adventures.

And although leather's major function is there - abrasion - others are lacking, such as waterproofing. Many companies have addressed the waterproof issue, but price tags usually hover around the $1000 mark for only a jacket.

But the UK-based Weise is out to change that pricey scenario by offering the Hydra series of motorcycle apparel. The Weise Hydra leather jacket and pants are waterproof via removable full-sleeve/leg Reissa liners, and offered at the price of standard leather motorcycle apparel - under $500 for the jacket, under $400 for the pants.

And the best part? The Weise Hydra products performs each duty claimed, something I proved after six months of testing throughout various weather conditions typical in the Northeastern Pennsylvania.
