Spring is here, and for most of us in the Northern Hemisphere, that means unpredictable weather every time we venture out on a motorcycle. The new Weise Atlanta and Zurich jackets might help if you can turn sunshine to rain just by wheeling a clean motorcycle out of a garage.
Both jackets feature a removable quilted liner, with a waterproof, windproof and breathable drop lining. And they also both feature a storm flap with Velcro and a popper to hold it in place over the YKK zip, plus CE approved armour at the shoulders, elbows and back.
They also both have a full venting system, and Velcro adjusters at the waist, arums and cuffs.
There are some differences though to account for the slight price difference. The Zurich gets stretch panels at the shoulders, but the Atlanta also has them at the sides and elbows to make it easier to move around. Interestingly, the more expensive Atlanta has ‘just’ five normal pockets (2 external, 3 internal), a waterproof pocket on the left breast, and a rear pocket with size entry, whereas the Zurich has six external pockets, four internal, plus a rear and left breast pocket.
But both come in sizes S-5XL in either Black or Black/Stone. The Weise Zurich costs £129.99 while the Weise Atlanta costs £159.99.
