Weise Scout Textile Jacket - Olive

This was a godsend in the hot days of summer. It has plenty of mesh to let the air through, but does not feel unsafe. In fact, it feels like a quality item. It comes with body armour, including a back protector which is not that common. The only thing that stopped me giving it 5 stars was that the body length was just a little bit short. If I had got a larger size, it would probably have been ok, but then it would have been a bit baggy.

Overall, a good buy and I am happy with it.

Comfortable, easy to wear yet protective if required, good value - wished I'd bought it earlier

A great looking, great quality, comfortable jacket

Sleeves could be a little longer but quality materials, AA rated and great airflow through it - no brainer for the money!

Similar to the trousers, very comfortable and versatile suitable for hot summer rides lightweight jacket enough ventilation.

Love the light weight and the breathability. Perfect summer jacket and filled the gap between my winter textile and my leather. Arms a little short in length but I ll cope

I find this jacket perfect for summer rides. It's adjustable on arms and waist, is a superb fit and not too heavy. Being AA rated offers peace of mind and I love the colour. My go-to summer jacket. The usual great quick service from SBS!

Lightweight, good armour, great price.
The collar sometimes grips my neck, but that's just probably me. Game changer riding in the heat. Air flows through cooling you down whilst riding so much more comfortable than riding with a traditional jacket. Unfortunately it was delayed due to demand for this garment, but was informed all the way by sportsbike shop. And unlike other's, arrived on the day they said it would. I would definitely recommend this jacket.

This jacket is quite simple in its design but it just looks really smart. Bearing in mind the full set of AA armour - back protector included - it is still relatively lightweight. And a good price at that. At the rear there is a zip connector and elastic area belt loop. Unfortunately I have to fault this as it’s attached to the lightweight internal mesh, which is not directly attached to the exterior fabric in this area, so this allows the rear of the jacket to ride up even if you have attached the belt loop. Not a deal breaker, but possibly an issue if you ride in a more sports oriented position

A revelation for riding in hot weather, was actually cold on a “feels like 31 degrees” ride last week. Seems well made, is comfortable, but I did go a size up from normal. Unusually comes with back armour, which is a plus, but unlike the elbows/shoulder is only level one and a none standard shape to upgrade.

Very impressed with this jacket, just the thing for the recent heatwaves cooling the torso and arms. Back protector as standard which not many have and due to the flow of air it doesn't stick to your back even in temperatures close to 30c. Jacket is also quite lightweight compared to a conventional textile.
Thanks to SBS too for the price match and speedy delivery as usual.

I've never tried a mesh / vented jacket. It's very light and fits well. Once you get moving the airflow is massive. Pockets are decent too and a back protector is standard. Recommended

I needed a summer bike jacket that wouldn't make me cook in the increasingly common heat waves being experienced in the UK. This jacket has been great. Cool even when stationary. Good armour protection. I do have to put on a waterproof coat if it rains of course. The jacket looks extremely smart .

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?
