Weise Scout Textile Jacket - Olive

Recent super-hot temperatures - with the prospect of more to come - prompted a review of lightweight vented riding jackets. There's a wide choice, but this CE-AA Approved Weise Scout hit the right balance of performance, protection and price. Fitted with a full set of Level 1 armour, large mesh panels on the front, back and sleeves promote good airflow. Adjustment on the arms, sleeves and waist help tailor the fit. A rear zip is also fitted for attachment to jeans, etc. There are two internal and two external pockets for personal stuff.

Jacket sizing is smaller than expected, so prospective purchasers may wish to go a size up. That way, if the temperature dips, then layering up is the way to go. But if it rains...now where are those waterproofs?

It is so good with air flow that morning when I riding to work on motorway with temperature about 16°C is way to cold, anyway recommend this jacket because is lighter that standard textile jackets, good for summer hot days.

Got this to be comfier in the hot weather the UK is having right. It's got really nice ventilation, no problem with staying cool. I sized up to XL based on the other reviews and that was the right thing to do, or it would have been a little snug across the shoulders. The adjustment straps allow you to tuck it in to exactly where you need it, and this way there's space for a warmer top if needed. At motorway speeds, my leather jacket is comfier as you do get a little bit of flapping, but anything below 60mph is simply perfect.

Great fit and keeps you cool and looks good

Delivery from SBS good as usual. Large 44 is a snug fit but as it's a vented jacket you only need a thin shirt under it. So far seems good quality.

Excellent for the hot weather and a good fit.

Well ventilated for 32degrees.
Go at least one size up

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.

Fantastic lightweight jacket with the knowledge that you still have good protection if the ground is coming towards you

Plenty of ventilation kept me cool in the recent hot weather. Looks good in the blue colour fits perfectly

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.

Light weight, great fit and great for the warmer days. Love the colour too!!

I purchased this jacket after reading a positive review by Bennetts. It has the protection expected and fits well. The is a varied selection of colours as I wanted something different from black. The jacket appears well-made with good quality zips and Velcro.

Tried out a couple of times so far on fairly short rides but it's a keeper. Can mostly feel the ventilation on my arms (my bike has a big screen so not as much wind movement over my body) but you can feel the airflow from that move around your chest. The armour is good and well positioned. 2 good sized internal pockets , one phone shaped, the other wallet shaped, both velcro fastening.
I'm 5'11" and around 90kg, between 44" & 46" jacket size. The XL fits me well, fairly snug on the shoulders but it has stretch panels on the back of the shoulders which allows for free movement without feeling any restriction when riding. I'm a 36" waist and have the waist adjusters pulled in most of the way. Can't say how abrasion resistant the fabric is and hope I never have to find out, but the CE rating gives some reassurance that there is a certain level of it and definitely better than nothing....
Can't complain at the price either, very good value.
