Weise Clothing

Wanted a simple and not too expensive over jacket to provide some basic weather protection for when I wear a Dainese air bag jacket. But this seems to have all you need for summer/autumn weather at least. Haven't tested it in seriously heavy rain yet but the waterproof liner looks and feels reasonable. The main zip seems robust enough, as good as one I have on a rather more expensive jacket. I have quite long arms but the sleeves come down well over my wrists and the armour, though not the highest spec, seems positioned quite well. Internal pockets seem adequate if you include the ones in the removable liner. It does tend to fit somewhat on the small side, I ordered the XL (46) which is two sizes over my normal one to give enough clearance should my airbag go off underneath, but it is only just enough and it doesn't look ridiculously large if I wear it with just a shirt underneath. Only potential issue I can see currently is how long the velcro fasteners will last, but that is also the case on jackets costing much more than this.

After nearly succumbing to my fate of being cooked alive in the heatwave we had a couple of weeks ago when I was riding back home after work, I had to make a change. My armoured textile jacket was going to be the end of me in that heat.
I visited the sports bike shop in hillington to find lighter more summer appropriate riding gear. Although this hoodie is black and feels pretty heavy it is surprisingly breathable and has helped massively at keeping me cool in this weather even when sitting stationary.
Unlike a lot of riding gear this is true to size so if you wear an XL in normal clothing that's what to go for when ordering this.
I was also pleased to find that this comes with the full armour set including the back piece which I found alot of the other goodies or shirts I was looking at dont.

Bought as a present for someone with diminutive digits!
Sizing suits someone who needs to size up for palms but down on finger length.
I would be rating this lower if it was for me as I find them uncomfortable, however, recipient is very happy!

It lost color very quickly after a few rides on the sun. It's very comfortable, but became visually not so nice
