Best Buy for Weise Nomad

Bike Chatter has awarded the Weise Nomad Jacket a Best Buy in its annual round up of the best kit from 2010.

"This is yet again another very nice item from Weise, it is better constructed than the climate we reviewed previously and you would expect so with the price difference.

Ventilation wise this really rocks as a hot weather jacket although the padded neck can stifle a little at a standstill, overall though it shifts loads of air without feeling like you lose protection in important areas so two thuimbs up here.

In the cold and wet you do not suffer at all which is the sign of a good all rounder, the only thing really to watch is the adjustable waist velcro making the back ride up a touch."

MCN Product review: Weise cotton balaclava

Simple, effective and cheap, this is the best way I’ve found to stop my face falling off in our recent Arctic-style winters. Some balaclavas are made from expensive newfangled materials with made-up names that end in ‘tex’.

This one is nothing more than a thin layer of soft cotton, which means it’s far easier to wear under a helmet and more comfortable against skin than all that guff.

Because it’s soft and stretchy, you can move it around to cover that inch of exposed skin on your forehead or nose when it’s really cold.

Warm praise from RiDE for new Weise Tex windproof wear

RiDE magazine tested 17 different brands of thermal clothing in the latest issue (Feb 2011) including the brand new Weise Tex.

"This set of windproof thermals feels top draw" reports the tester. "When riding on a cold day their ability to keep wind out and warmth in is just what's needed" they conclude.

Priced at £106 for the shirt and matching trousers, the Weise Tex outfit was one of the best-performing in its price range, once again demonstrating the brand's core values of quality and functionality.

Take on Winter with WEISE Tex

WEISE® Tex is a new range of high performance mid-layers, designed to keep riders warm and comfortable during winter rides.
Keeping cosy on the bike can be tricky; low ambient temperatures combined with the effects of wind chill can make even the shortest journey unpleasant and, in some cases, can distract the rider from the job in hand.
The WEISE® Tex range features a tri-laminate construction with a tough and tightly woven stretch fabric on the outside, a waterproof and breathable membrane in the middle and cosy micro-fleece liner on the inside.
This three-layer system acts as a barrier against wind chill and water ingress, insulates from low temperatures and allows the skin to breath, helping to prevent the build-up of perspiration.
WEISE® Tex is also thin and flexible, allowing freedom of movement on and off the bike, and flat seams are used throughout for a smooth fit.
The WEISE® Tex range includes: Fleece £69.99, Trousers £47.99, Shirt £57.99, Gloves £16.99, Neck Tube £15.99, Balaclava £17.99 and a Turtleneck £16.99; all are fully machine washable and come in a range of unisex sizes. All prices are suggested retail including VAT.

WEISE Parka is ideal anyway, anyhow, anywhere...

Since the mod movement of the 1960s, the parka has been synonymous with style-conscious scooterists. Now thanks to WEISE®, scooter riders everywhere can get the authentic retro look whilst enjoying the benefits of modern materials, protection and practicality.

Part of the WEISE® Urban Collection, the Parka Jacket is designed to offer the best of all worlds: protection from the elements whilst on the bike and plenty of practicality and style off it.

Unlike the original 1960's versions, the WEISE® Parka Jacket is made from water-resistant material. A full-length zipped front closure, with button-down storm flap, elasticated wrist sections and a fully adjustable internal pull cord at the waist also help to keep out the elements, and allow a snug and comfortable fit.

Impact protection is also catered for, as the Parka has pockets at the shoulders and elbows designed for the insertion of CE-approved armour, which is available separately at £19.98 for a complete set.

Whilst off the scooter, the Parka's large faux fur-trimmed hood offers extra protection from the cold, and both the trim and hood can be quickly and easily removed for long rides.

Also useful both on and off the bike are the five external pockets - including one zipped pocket on the upper left arm - perfect for carrying all those daily essentials.

The WEISE® Parka jacket is available in ‘Stone' in sizes XS-XXL, at a recommended retail price of £79.99. For details on this and the complete WEISE® range of rider apparel and accessories, call 0117 9719200 or visit: www.weise-clothing.co.uk

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
