Weise Clothing

Great jacket, looks good, it’s light and cooling due to plenty of air flow through the mesh. Sizing is a little on the small side so I’d recommend trying before you buy to avoid having to return it for another size. Only worn it twice but it seems well made and durable.

Wanted some summer biking socks and based on reviews opted for a couple of pairs. Worn them in recent high temperatures and did the job well. Easy to get on and off even when hot and sweaty!

I got back into riding after many years and with a family behind me, I decided to opt for something safe and fashionable. After a lot of both online research and frequent visits to my local sportsbikeshop in Bristol (and some competitors for that!), I decided that the Weise Ozark is for me.

Where to start?! Well, it is a "AA" rated garment, has Level 2 armour in elbows and shoulders and the Level 1 armour on the back can easily be upgraded to a Level 2 for around £25. It also has a thermal lining, which is sufficient to make someone feel warm enough in cold weather. But the best feature is that it is laminated and is so much better, in my opinion, compared to 2- or even 3-layered systems that are being sold out there.

It has sufficient vents on the torso, forearms, on the back and one could argue low on the arms too. It also has sleeve adjusters, which I have been using to minimise billowing, but to also have a better and snuggier fit when riding. It also has torso stretch panels and they work brilliantly!

I have been using it for a few months now, as I have been doing my refresher courses in riding and also Module 1 and Module 2 training and tests. I have nothing to complain about. As a matter of fact, I like it very much and I also found that I could fit in a 4XL, which was great news (well, for me at least!).

Finally, I have also been wearing it without the thermal lining in the nicer weather we are having recently (May-June 2026). I have to say that I did not feel at all hot or uncomfortable. I had the vents open and they worked great.

I saved the best for last. A couple of days after buying it, I tried it on and the zip puller on the main zip broke off as I tried doing up the zip. I felt slightly frustrated and thought that something like that should not happen to a brand new garment. So, I went online and shared my views with Weise directly. Little did I know that a very helpful chap contacted me the very next day to inform me that he had sent me 4 brand new zip pullers! I also asked him about the type of Level 2 armour that this jacket could take and he actually saved me some research by letting me know the exact model I should go for! This is some truly great customer service!

Very good, bit tight in places, but I've got short dumpy hands.. should have got next size up, but then fingers would be too long. Can't win.!

I am very pleased with this jacket. It is a good fit, is well made and keeps me cool on the bike. Very prompt delivery. Recommended.

purchased to replace Weiss gloves ‘lost’ whilst drying on bike , otherwise would have no need to replace - those were comfortable, only had this pair a short while now so a fair review not possible , but they have been comfortable on short local (ish) rides ( 100m in a day ) , they keep hands cool - looking forward to wearing on a longer hotter journey
