[Okeydokey]

Any dispatch riders out there able to recommend/share what they use for biking all day in all weather?
I'm looking at a Weise jacket cause I heard you guys wear them all the time?
Cheers

I rode for two years in a Heine Gericke "Touareg" textile suit, still got it now - six years later - as it outlasted the job. Dunno what the quality is like now, but it impressed the hell out of me.

Not as waterproof as it was now but still warm.

Did you ever use Weise or know any one who did?

[DrDonnyBrago]

I don't despatch but I have weise gear - I don't rate it.


Jacket and trousers leak (weise dynastar II) and are a bit shit in a few other ways. I have a pair of Weise boots too which are even worse, had them a year and the stitching holding the armoury bits to the leather have worn through, they leak and the heels inside where your foot goes has worn through the liners to the leather.


Not something I would recommend, they are not exactly uner intensive use like a courier etc would do either.

So who told this lie to the OP I wonder?

Like sickpup i'm a courier and use hein gericke cruise jacket and trousers are dainese . Both goretex.
Gloves are goretex hein gericke.

Nobody i know on the job wears weise.

The cruise has been discontinued for something else. shame really as apart from being warm and dry it has a little pocket on the left sleeve for putting toll tickets in

I use a Hein Gericke cruise Gore-Tex suit from circa 2005. I've probably covered 100,000 miles in it now and it only just started letting water in last year. Combined with a waterproof oversuit in *heavy* rain I stay dry.

Well worth the moolah.

I have a Weise jacket, can't say it's been too bad TBH. Stood up to rain when I was commuting to Liverpool, only downside is that it gets grubby being white. I also don't tend to go out in all weathers, but have my old A-Stars jacket for really shitty weather.
