WEISE Ventoux Boots

Exploring the Earth doesn’t necessarily have to cost it, as the latest addition to the WEISE® rider clothing range proves. Designed to handle the unpredictable conditions that any two-wheeled journey – long or short – can bring, the new Ventoux boots from WEISE® are the perfect addition to any touring and adventure rider’s kit cupboard, yet are firmly in the budget boot price bracket at just £89.99 (SRP).

Comfort is key for long days in the saddle and it certainly hasn’t been sacrificed on the Ventoux. Named after the famous mountain stage of the Tour de France, Ventoux boots have a tough but supple full-grain leather construction, and flex panels at the front and rear of the ankle allow for easy movement both on and off the bike. An elasticated calf section allows leathers or jeans to be tucked into the top and a leather pad is also included at the 'shift zone' to help alleviate pressure pains from continuous gear changing.

Protection from unpredictable weather is also crucial for a long distance boot, so the Ventoux features a DINTEX® waterproof and breathable lining, to help keep the wearer dry and comfortable, in even the most changeable of conditions and temperatures. Velcro® closure and an adjustable securing buckle at the bridge allow enough adjustment for the use of thermal socks during colder days. The side closure and buckle ensure a snug and secure fit.

WEISE® Ventoux boots are available in UK sizes 6½ - 12 (EU 40-47) in black at the suggested retail price of £89.99.

All WEISE® products are covered by a two-year, no-quibble warranty for peace of mind. For information on the complete 2011 WEISE® range of rider apparel and accessories call 0117 9719200 or visit www.weise-clothing.co.uk.

Four into one with new WEISE Nevada jacket

Tough, versatile and value for money, the new WEISE® Nevada four-season textile jacket is as recession-proof as it is weatherproof, ideal for the budget-conscious rider. Named after America's desert state, where daytime summer temperatures sometimes rise as high as 52 °C and can plummet to −46 °C on winter nights, the Nevada is designed to cope with the wide variety of conditions a year-round motorcycle rider experiences.

An ISOTEX® waterproof and breathable drop liner helps to keep rain outside and prevents moisture build-up inside the jacket, while the Nevada's 120-gram thermal quilted liner insulates the wearer on colder days and can be removed on warmer ones. When the temperature rises further, zipped venting sections at the chest, back and lower arms can be opened to allow cool air in. These can be used independently or together, to give the best combination for the conditions.

Impact protection is also first class; the Nevada’s tough nylon outer shell features FC3636 and CD586 coatings, to help increase abrasion resistance and combat the effects of weathering. CE-approved armour is fitted at the shoulders, elbows and back too, and 3M Scotchlite™ reflective panels are included throughout for added visibility.

No fewer than seven pockets are available to the wearer – including two waterproof external ones – so all those travel essentials can be kept close to hand.

The Nevada is produced in Gun, Red, Blue and eye-catching Orange highlights, in sizes S-5XL Black/Gun and S-3XL in the remaining colours and retails at the suggested price of just £159.99.

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.

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.
