KIT: Weisse ‘Sniper’ AA-rated retro-style textile riding jacket

Inspired by biker jackets of the Sixties, the new Weise Sniper looks every inch a classic, yet has a modern 600D fabric shell and is AA-rated to the latest EN17092-3:2020 safety standard.  

It comes with CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow armour and a Level 1 back protector fitted as standard, all of which can be removed. For added safety, there’s a short trouser connection zip with a comfort stretch panel.  

Beneath the shell is a fixed, waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane. The main entry zip is covered by a storm flap secured with metal poppers for extra weather protection. There’s also a removable 75 gsm quilted liner with full-length sleeves in a classic check design, which adds to the retro style. 

Adjustments at the waist and collar allow for fine-tuning of the fit, while the collar is Neoprene® trimmed for extra comfort and to seal out the wind chill. 

Speaking of which, two cosy hand-warmer pockets offer welcome relief for chilly fingers when off the bike. There’s also a Napoleon pocket and two internal pockets for valuables, plus two more on the chest with popper closure. 

The Sniper retails at £179.99 including VAT and is available in sizes S—5XL in a choice of two classic colours: Black and Olive.
