Fantastic Jacket

Excellent jacket very quick delivery and reasonable price

Good jacket with some flaws

This is an overall good jacket, but has some flaws. I ride everyday no matter what the weather. The good: + The outlast liner is nice and warm when it's cold outside. Very good. + The waterproofing is good. So far been out in some torrential rain and not got wet yet. + The front pockets are very short depth which is excellent. Means your keys don't get lost at the bottom of the pocket. The bad: - The zip to attach the matching trousers is only a flap, and is mounted so high on the jacket that in the event of sliding down the road the jacket could still ride halfway up your torso exposing skin to the road. Not good. - The outlast liner has some fancy marketing that says it cools in the heat and warms you in the cold weather using Nasa tech. This is rubbish. The liner is nice and warm, but you will sweat your bits off if the ambient temp gets above 15 degrees. - The neck is not very high, so in cold weather your neck gets cold and the wind tries it's best to creep down your chest. Not too bad, but not perfect. - THE ZIPS! None of the zips have a grabber on them. This makes them far too small to operate with gloves on. Especially annoying on the cuff zips. In summary: A good, warm, completely waterproof jacket. A bit fiddly though.

One extreme to another

Great jacket on the outside. The jacket is incredibly strong and robust and 100% waterproof without any inner linings in tested in one hours torrential rain. The armour feels really good and certainly gives a feel of protection. However. .............. Once the inner linings are out you are met with a really weak single stitched single layer of mesh. Which started coming apart at the stitching where it keep the armour in. Sent it back and Sportbikeshop sent me a new one within 24 hours which was incredible service. BUT the new jacket they've sent me has incurred the same problem after a week of commuting. Cannot understand how the jacket can be so strong durable and almost bullet proof feel to such weak inners. Mixed feelings.

Good jacket, as it should be for the money

Done a couple of thousand miles in this jacket now and have found it to be comfortable, and relatively warm and dry. Couple of niggles are the chafing around the neck if the inner lining is fully zipped up, and the lack of any means of tightening up the bottom of the jacket to prevent drafts and water creeping in. The 'Outlast' thermal lining zips into the jacket but, unlike in my 10 year old Belstaff textile jacket, it doesn't extend across the front of the jacket behind the main zip, just the waterproof lining covers that area, so riding on a snowy cold day I found that I got a cold chest. Bit of a design flaw. If you have more sense and keep the bike in the garage when it's properly cold then this jacket should do you fine, but for

First timer

First time I use Sportsbikeshop and the service was reliable and efficient. Will definitely use it again. The jacket is excellent - warm, waterproof and I am glad to have gone up a size as suggested by other reviewers. Perfect fit on a large when I am usually a medium.

Superb jacket

I would agree with other reviews on Weise's sizing, you probably need one size larger. The Outlast layer works brilliantly, my daily commute takes about 30 mins, the recent subzero morning temperatures really put the this technology to the test - and it works! This time of year with similar temperatures with my old Heine Gericke gear had me needing a heated vest to stay warm. No such need so far, admittedly I'm not on fast A roads or m/way, but impressive non the less. Great value for money at Sportsbikeshop and really excellent delivery and customer service.

Blinkin good jacket

Good value and excellent service from Sportsbikeshop as usual. However, Weise' sizing leaves a bit to be desired. For some reason I now need an extra large to fit. My previous Weise jacket was Large....and No, I have not put weight on!
