All season textile motorcycle jackets are a great solution for staying safe in hot weather, as well as when it’s cold. And the new Weise Vertex jacket could be worth adding to your riding wardrobe, especially for warmer days.
Mainly because it’s got two mesh vents behind zippable panels. So along with removing the 120-gram quilted thermal lining and the separate waterproof and breathable lining, you can also quickly secure the panels open with magnetic Fidlock clips and get a bit of a breeze flowing through the jacket.
You can also use the long two-way zipped vents on each cuff to keep your arms a bit cooler. And if the weather changes, you’ve got the polyester and SuperFabric construction, liners, waterproof zips on the panels and two external pockets and a neoprene collar.
And it’s always better to stay safe than get tempted to ride around in a t-shirt and shorts. The Weise Vertex Jacket is AA rated with CE-approved armour at the shoulders, eblows and back. Plus there’s a short connecting zip for matching trousers, and stretch panels so you can still move around easily. Plus 3M reflective panels on the shoulders and rear so it’s easer to be seen at night.
Weise have been making motorcycle kit for a long time, and the jackets I’ve used seem to have lasted for years, so it should be a decent investment for yourself, or if you want to encourage someone to stay safe even in hot summer weather.
The Weise Vertex jacket comes in sizes S-3XL for £219.99 in either Black or Stone. You can find it at your local Weise stockist, which actually includes Halfords. And if it’s not the right choice for you, why not check out all our coverage of motorcycle jackets, including the Weise range.
