Verified Customer Reviews for Weise Hydra 2.0 WP Leather Jacket
Excellent finish and lightweight 
09 Jul 2026 by Adam W
I've been using the Weise Hydra original jacket & trousers year round for a while now, but needed to downsize due to weight loss. Was able to reserve two sizes to the Leeds SBS store to try them on, which was a good experience.
The jacket looks and feels very premium, and is significantly lighter and thinner than the original Hydra. I appreciate the zip cuff closure, as the old velcro had separated on my original Hydra jacket. The connecting zip to the trousers works well, and is easy to fully connect each day without problem. I was initially concerned about the rating of the ZRO armor, but after speaking to the manufacturer I was satisfied that it performs on a par with some level 2 armor.
Overall I'm really happy with how this looks, feels and performs. No issues with the waterproofing yet either, though we've not had a proper deluge yet to be fair!

Description
The Weise® Hydra 2.0 Leather Jacket redefines versatility, combining the classic appeal of leather with cutting-edge waterproof technology.
Crafted from premium 1.2mm - 1.4mm full-grain leather, the Hydra 2.0 features an innovative Ion Shield® laminated membrane for exceptional waterproofing without sacrificing flexibility. The concealed waterproof main zip, waterproof shoulder and arm vents, and cuff closures ensure you stay dry even in the heaviest downpours. Treated with TFL COOL TEC®, the leather reflects UV rays, reducing heat build-up for a more comfortable ride in warmer weather.
Safety is at the core of its design, with certification to EN17092-2:2020 AAA standards and RE ZRO® removable armour at the back, shoulders, and elbows (certified to EN1621-2:2014 Level 1 and EN1621-1:2012 Level 1, respectively).
Practical details enhance its performance: stretch panels on the inner arms and torso provide a tailored fit and improved mobility, while an adjustable waist belt system ensures personalised comfort. Thoughtful features like 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective piping improve visibility at night, and YKK® zips deliver reliable durability.
Designed for all-weather riding, the jacket includes a removable 75gsm thermal quilted gilet for added warmth in colder conditions, paired with a fine mesh inner lining for breathability. Storage is both functional and discreet, with two waterproof external pockets, an external forearm utility pocket, and two internal pockets for your essentials.
Finished with subtle Weise® logo embroidery, the Hydra 2.0 seamlessly blends sophistication and performance. With full and short connection zips for pairing with trousers, this jacket is the ultimate choice for riders who demand waterproof protection without compromising style.
RE ZRO® armour is lighter and more flexible than the majority of impact protection products on the market without any compromise on performance. Its unique design also allows for greater breathability, eliminating hot spots in garments. Designed and developed in the UK, RE ZRO® is also the world's first rapidly biodegradable impact protection.
