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

Weise Black Rain Gloves

New for this season, Weise® Black Rain gloves are designed to cope with the conditions experienced by British riders throughout the spring, summer and autumn months.

Thunderstorms are common during both spring and summer, while autumn is notoriously unsettled, so waterproofing is a crucial feature.

Combining the feel and features of a sports product with the weather protection of a winter glove, Weise® Black Rain gloves are manufactured from full grain leather with KEPROTEC® reinforced panels over impact zones. Carbon reinforcement on both knuckles and fingers adds to the Black Rain's track-inspired credentials.

Also included is a waterproof and breathable HIPORA® lining, making the Black Rain truly versatile without compromising fit, feel or control.

Secured by a Velcro adjustable wrist strap, the generous padded cuff is also Velcro adjustable, so it can be worn either inside or outside the jacket sleeve.

The Black Rain is produced in sizes Small - 4XL and retails for £54.99.

Classic protection from Weise

Thundersprint organiser and classic racer Frank Melling has good reason to be thankful he made a Weise choice when it comes to his racing leathers, following a serious crash while competing on his G50 Matchless at Donington.

"The breather tube split on the Matchless and put oil on the back tyre. The rest, as they say, is history. I walked away with minimal damage except a bruised nose and other assorted lumps. This was almost nothing from a 70mph off."

I was also wearing a Weise suit [in addition to a back-protector] and the combination meant that a potentially very nasty crash resulted only in damage to the bike. This is expensive but can be fixed whereas personal injuries are much more serious. The same accident pre-body armour would have been really nasty."

Frank wears a Weise Tornado leather suit.

Motor Cycle News review of Custom WP Gloves

"I like black gloves – plain black gloves with no bells and whistles. It’s how all motorcycling kit used to look and it goes with anything" writes Marc Abbott of Motor Cycle News.

"The waterproof membrane in these gloves has so far lived up to its billing, too, not allowing and moisture through in a recent deluge. And although there’s only one retaining strap at the wrist they do feel incredible secure".

Weise Maverick jacket - new orange flavour

New from WEISE® for 2010, the Maverick jacket is available not only in black, red and blue colour options but also an eye-catching orange version. Cool citrus colour schemes feature on machines in the Kawasaki, Harley-Davidson and KTM ranges and there is growing demand for brighter colours of bike clothing from owners of plain-coloured motorcycles, too.

As with the complete WEISE® range, substance has not been forsaken for style; all Maverick jackets have a tough 600 denier textile outer shell with CE approved armour at the shoulders, elbow and back, offering all-round impact protection, while 3MTM reflective panels on the chest and back can be easily spotted by other road users in poor visibility.

An ISOTEX® waterproof, windproof, breathable drop lining provides a barrier against the elements, while the WEISE® Water Release System (WRS) channels away excess water to ensure a dry and comfortable ride even in heavy downpours. The Maverick features a removable 100-gram thermal quilted inner and trouser connection zip to prevent the jacket 'riding up'.

Topping off the Maverick's practical specification are two large capacity external waterproof pockets, additional arm pockets (for carrying all the daily essentials) and a large pocket at the back (ideal for carrying unlined over-trousers).

The WEISE® Maverick Jacket is available at an RRP of £139.99 in sizes S-3XL in black/gun/blue, black/gun/red and black/gun/orange and up to size 5XL in black/gun/gun. Further details on the complete 2010 WEISE® range of rider apparel can be found at www.weise-clothing.co.uk or call 0117 971 9200.

Cool it this summer with Weise Air Spin

Temperatures this summer are predicted to reach record levels, possibly as high as 100° Fahrenheit, making it tough for motorcyclists to keep their cool wearing traditional leather or textile biking wear.

Weise® developed the Air Spin in response to requests from customers for a jacket that combined the protection of CE approved armour at the shoulders, elbow and back with maximum ventilation for summer riding. The outer shell has 500 denier construction on the arms and shoulders with generous air flow mesh at the front and rear of jacket, allowing the cooling breeze to penetrate. There is a detachable waterproof/breathable drop liner under the outer shell, so getting caught in a traditional summer thunderstorm will not present any problems.

Singing sensation Taio Cruz recently tried out a Weise Air Spin jacket while taking advantage of the Get On campaign’s free one-hour experience session, which is available to anyone over the age of 16. The pop star, who stormed the UK and US charts with his number 1 hit single Break Your Heart, took time out from filming the video for his latest single, (Dynamite, due to be released on August 23), to enjoy a training session with Brands Hatch Yamaha. Sessions can be booked at www.geton.co.uk which also provides a one-stop shop of information on how to get into biking.

Available in a choice of black/red, black/blue and black/gun in sizes XS - XXXL and priced at £99.99, the Weise® Air Spin jacket makes riding in the heat a breeze. For more information on Weise clothing visit www.weise-clothing.co.uk or call 0117 971 9200
