Hickman’s best ever TT with Weise

Peter Hickman gave Weise clothing something to celebrate at this year’s Isle of Man TT, winning a total of four races, and wearing the British brand’s leathers in all of them.

This was Hicky’s best-ever TT, claiming a podium spot in the six solo races, and carrying off the Joey Dunlop TT Championship, awarded to the rider with the most points across the solo classes.

“Had an amazing time at this year’s TT” says Hicky. “My Gas Monkey BMW by FHO Team worked awesome, the bike was mega and all my Weise leathers looked on point and perfect as always”.

Challenging conditions meant he couldn’t match his record-breaking speed of 135mph on the Mountain Course, but Hicky still set the pace in Practice Week, posting a 132mph lap on his Gas Monkey Garage BMW M1000RR and showing what was in store.

In Race Week he followed up with wins in the Superbike, Superstock and Supertwin classes, as well as the blue ribband Senior TT, plus second and third spots in the two Supersport races.

Weise Clothing has been a constant factor in Hicky’s TT career, having been his leathers of choice for all nine victories, starting with the 2018 Superstock race.

The product development team at Weise work closely with supported riders, using their feedback to ensure they continue to set the standard in their range of leather and textile clothing for regular motorcyclists. .

High Flying Gloves

New from Weise®, Falcon gloves are the perfect partner for summer rides, with first class fit, feel and protection – and the added bonus of touchscreen compatibility.

Made from 100% full grain leather, Falcon gloves are tough and durable, as well as being soft and supple, allowing feedback and feel from the controls. For extra peace of mind, the leather is double layered at critical areas, with padded sections over the vulnerable scaphoid. TPU protection features over the knuckles and each finger protector is vented to allow a cooling airflow.

Both index fingers are touchscreen compatible, so there’s no need to remove the gloves to operate devices, whichever hand you use. An elasticated section at the wrist, and stretch panels on each finger, maximise movement, while a synthetic panel on each palm provides improved grip on the bars.

Riders can choose whether to wear the gloves over or under a jacket sleeve, thanks to double hook-and-eye closure at the wrist.

Weise Falcon Gloves come in a choice of classic Black or Black/White, in sizes S-3XL.

Snap up Weise Gator AAA Jeans this season

New from Weise®, Gator denim riding jeans are lightweight, comfortable, and rated AAA for protection – the highest level under the current CE standard for motorcycle clothing.

New from Weise®, Gator denim riding jeans are lightweight, comfortable, and rated AAA for protection – the highest level under the current CE standard for motorcycle clothing.

Ideal for the warmer months, Gator jeans are made from high quality 440gsm denim, with a traditional fit and semi-bootcut, for a good fit over riding footwear. Mesh lining adds to the denim’s natural breathability, so they are comfortable to wear, whether in town or on the open road.

Protection is provided by an abrasion-resistant, 250gsm aramid fibre lining, plus removable CE approved armour at the knees and hips. In addition, all the main seams are double-stitched, for strength and durability.

Gator Jeans are cut high on the waist, to prevent a gap between jeans and jacket when sitting on a bike, and there are wide loops on the waist for chunky belts.

Available in classic denim blue, Weise Gator jeans come in men’s sizes S-4XL (30” – 42” waist).

Weise layers for all seasons

Weise® has added two new Base Layer options to its range, helping riders stay comfortable through all four seasons: an insulated Thermal Top and Pants for the colder months and a lightweight set for Spring and Summer

A key part of any motorcyclist’s wardrobe, an effective base layer helps to regulate the body’s temperature, wicking away moisture from perspiration and making it easier to get into and out of riding gear.

Weise Base Layer Set

Designed for the colder months, the Thermal Top and Pants have a luxurious fleece lining to help insulate, while still retaining breathability. The soft-touch fabric has flat-finished seams, so it won’t rub and chafe, and has a light stretch for mobility on and off the bike. Both are available in sizes S-3XL and retail at £34.99 for the Top and £34.99 for the Pants (including VAT).

The Base Layer Set comprises a long sleeve top and trousers, both of which offer excellent moisture management and have light insulation to keep the wearer comfy from late Spring through to early Autumn. They are also made from a soft, flexible, and light-stretch fabric, with flat-finished seams for comfort. Thinner than the Winter versions, they sit comfortably under close-fitting leather suits and tighter summer kit. The Weise® Base Layer Set comes in sizes Small, Large and 2XL and retails at just £34.99 for the pair, inducing VAT.

Both sets can be mixed and matched to suit the conditions and the wearer’s preference. Primarily designed for use on the bike, both are ideal for other outdoor activities, including cycling and hiking.

Duchinni Jago Jacket is Kids Tough

Keeping fast-growing youngsters in good quality riding gear can be a very costly business, so Duchinni designed their Jago Youth Jacket to grow along with them

Keeping fast-growing youngsters in good quality riding gear can be a very costly business, so Duchinni designed their Jago Youth Jacket to grow along with them.

Each arm has a zipped panel, which extends when opened, making the sleeve up to 3 cm longer. Sleeves can also be adjusted for width, as can the waist, collar and cuffs, for a safe, snug and comfortable fit.  

When it comes to protection, the Jago is AA rated for safety, just like the adult motorcycle jackets, and is fitted with Level 2 CE-approved shoulder and elbow armour as standard, for complete peace of mind.

Keeping the young rider warm and dry is taken care of with a quilted thermal lining and breathable, waterproof and windproof drop-liner. In warmer weather, the thermal lining can be removed and vents at the front, rear and arm opened to allow cooling airflow.

Now available in five colour choices – Black, Black/Red, Black/Neon, Black/Camo and Black/Purple – the Jago comes in children’s sizes XS-XL (32”-38” chest).

Matching Imola textile trousers (£79.99), with leg extender panels, and Bambino gloves (£34.99), are also available..

Clever compact ground anchor from Kovix

Smarter than the average ground anchor, the new Kovix KGA secures a bike or scooter using only a chain – no padlock required.

Made from steel and zinc alloy, with a corrosion preventative treatment, the Kovix KGA can be used indoors or out and mounted on floor or wall, using two retaining bolts that come with it.

To secure a bike, simply thread the chain through the frame or wheel as normal, unlock the lid of the KGA and position the last links of the chain inside. Replace the lid, turn the key and an ultra-strong 14mm locking pin slides into place, bolting the links inside the protective shell of the ground anchor.

Designed to accept chain links of 10, 12 or 14 mm diameter, the compact KGA measures only 112 mm across and 55 mm high, so it can be positioned wherever the bike or scooter is safest, without having to rely on existing objects to lock onto.

A heavy-duty lock and anchor point rolled into one, the Kovix KGA is available in Black or Green. It is supplied with a DIY fitting kit, three high security keys and a coded key tag, for ordering replacements.

Leverage extra security with new Kovix lock

New from Kovix, the Brake Lever Lock combines a robust metal body with an ear-splitting alarm to provide extra layers of security when your motorcycle is parked.

Simply clamp the lock around the brake lever and throttle and instantly add three layers of security – a visual deterrent to opportunist thieves, heavy-duty zinc/steel alloy construction for a tough physical obstacle and a built-in 120dB alarm for an audible warning too.

Once locked in place it stops both the throttle and front brake from operating and, should anyone attempt to move the machine or tamper with the lock, the shock and movement sensor triggers the 120dB siren, instantly attracting attention. On occasions when the alarm isn’t required the siren can be switched off.

Lighter and more compact than chains and U-locks, the Brake Lever Lock is easy to transport and, unlike disc locks, doesn’t require fiddling around by the front wheel. An added bonus is that the user can’t accidentally ride off without removing the lock first!

Not only is the zinc/steel alloy body much more resistant to attack than plastic-bodied locks, but the heavy-duty steel key barrel also resists picking and drilling.

The Kovix Brake Lever Lock is available in Red or Blue and is ideal for classic scooters and motorcycles which don’t have space between the disc rotor and wheel rim to fit a conventional disc lock.

New Weise Nomad winter gloves

Beat the elements hands-down this winter, with the new Nomad from Weise® – tough full-grain leather and textile gloves built to battle the cold and wet, so your hands stay warm and dry.

The Nomad’s armoury starts with a Hipora® membrane to keep wind-chill at bay, block out the rain and allow your hands to breathe naturally.

Reinforcing the waterproof liner, a two-layer storm cuff with an elasticated inner and hook-and-eye-secured outer layer, forms a seal around jacket cuffs to stop rain trickling in.

Inside, a 120-gram Thinsulate™ liner provides warmth without adding weight or bulk, allowing plenty of feedback and feel from the controls. Flexibility is aided by stretch panels at the wrists, fingers and thumbs, and a Chamude® overlay on the palm and thumb provides extra grip on wet handlebars.

Practical extra features include 3M™ Scotchlite™ piping to enhance visibility on dark and dismal days, as well as touchscreen-compatible pads on the index and ring fingers, so electronic devices can be operated without needing to remove the gloves and expose your hands to the elements.

Weise® Nomad winter gloves retail at just £59.99 including VAT and are available in men’s sizes S-3XL and women’s sizes XS-XL.
