Geared towards summer riding and based on the fantastic S1 Textile Jacket, using the same chassis, the jacket comes equipped with a mesh layer to allow air to flow around the body. Paired with a removable water- resistant lining on the inside increases the jacket’s practicality.
RST IOM TT CROSBY 2 CE MENS TEXTILE JACKET
The Crosby 2 is a classic cotton canvas jacket, paying homage to RST’s sponsorship of the Isle of Man TT. Available in vintage colour-ways; charcoal and green, with a removable thermal lining and fix waterproof lining on the inside. So a textile classic offering from the RST TT Collection.
In today’s world of ever-changing weather conditions, staying comfortable on the road has become a bit of a challenge. Which is why Weise have created the Hydra Jacket and Jeans range, designed to help you tackle every kind of riding conditions in style.
To begin with, both the jacket and the jean have quite a minimalist design and the only patterns that exist are there for a purpose and to add to the practicality of the gear. No matter whether you have a supersport, café racer or adventure motorbike, the Hydra pair would go well with all of them.
The thick full-grain leather speaks for itself and the waterproof liner is right up there as well. The harsh winters can be a real bummer for seasoned riders but the accompanying gilet makes for a great insulating layer underneath the jacket. Maneuverability is another area where the Hydra jacket and the jean excel. The stretch panels are located strategically and are ready to provide additional support whenever necessary.
The thought of thick full-grain leather and the gilet may have built an image of a winter exclusive gear but worry not the gillet is removable, also there are ample vent panels and the leather too is perforated in multiple areas for better ventilation
The jacket and jeans are also designed with CE-approved armor in key impact areas to provide maximum protection in the event of a crash. All the critical areas including shoulder, elbow, back, knee and hip are protected by removable and certified armour that add to safety as well as versatility. The reflective piping and the logo might seem like a mundane touch but they are great secondary protection in darker conditions.
For those of you who love a snug fitting, you will absolutely love the Hydra gear. Since both the jacket and jeans are made to go together, there is a connecting zip at the bottom stretch panel provides a convenient and secure way of connecting both together. Overall, the gear is designed to provide riders with a comfortable and enjoyable ride, no matter the conditions.
Weise are a UK-based company that has been producing top-quality motorcycle gear for over 30 years. Their Hydra Gear line is a stylish and practical choice for riders who demand the best in protection, comfort, and performance.

The long-awaited long cuff Handroid Mk5 has arrived and it’s moved up another gear!
Due to its innovative futuristic look the award winning Handroid glove is the most striking design of motorcycle glove ever made. The design includes features such as the Scaphoid Protection System as well as the eye catching exo skeleton finger spines, which cover the tops of the fingers for impact protection as well as a unique Boa closing system which always ensures a perfect and secure fit.
The new Handroid Mk5 is visually exciting with a contemporary printed hexagon leather design, as well as 3 striking colours, including the ever popular All Black.
There are major functional improvements too. For the first time the Handroid loses its twin wrist cuff and is replaced with a sleek single sided polished LDPE wrist cuff to give improved strength, abrasion and impact resistance with Micro-Lock impact protection encapsulated inside. This low profile new wrist system also improves dexterity and flexibility on the controls as well as being more comfortable.
A new BOA wrist closure system has a micro adjustable BOA dial that, for the first time, tightens and loosens, so riders can fine tune their glove for the perfect fit. The Boa wrist closure system is a patented system. The collaboration with Boa is exclusive to the Knox brand.
The patented Knox Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) includes Micro-Lock under the pads for added impact absorption and this extends around the edge of the hand for maximum coverage.
The finest, ethically sourced 0.8mm Kangaroo is used on the palm. The strength and feel offered by this hide is exceptional.
The rest of the glove is made from drum dyed Cowhide.

Flexible, breathable and designed for comfort on highways and byways, LS2’s versatile All Terrain Gloves are a must for adventure-seekers.
All Terrain use goat skin in their construction because it is tough enough to resist abrasion from tarmac, yet soft and supple enough to allow plenty of feedback from the controls when riding on tracks. It’s double layered on the palm and other key areas, for maximum durability.
For added protection there are Level 1-certified TPU protectors over the knuckles, and padded sections at the base of the hand and over the vulnerable scaphoid area. As you’d expect, the gloves are fully certified to the latest CE safety standard.
The rest of the All Terrain’s shell is a lightweight, flexible textile containing neoprene and lycra for flexibility and breathability – a must for demanding days off-road. The goat skin sections are also perforated to help heat and perspiration escape.
Stretch panels at the finger joints and lycra sections between each finger help with precise operation of the controls – crucial when tackling loose surfaces and a silicone print on the palm improves grip on the bars.
The short cuff design sits easily under riding jackets, and has hook and loop closure for a snug and secure fit. There’s no need to remove the gloves to operate devices either, as both index fingers are touchscreen compatible too.
LS2 All Terrain Gloves come in both men’s (sizes S-2XL) and ladies’ (XS-L) versions, in four colourways: Black, Black/Blue, Grey/Red and Black/Hi-Vis Yellow. All retail at only £49.99 including VAT.

AA-rated, laminated textile riding jacket with detachable hood.
Combining the look and feel of high street fashion with the protection from impacts and the elements expected from a premium motorcycle jacket, the new Weise Drift is a smart choice for urban rides and city commutes.
Free from branding, bright colours and graphics, the Drift looks equally at home on the high street as it does on the open road, and thanks to a waterproof and breathable membrane laminated to the outer shell, it offers maximum weather protection too.
This not only stops rain getting in – whilst letting perspiration out – the laminated construction also prevents waterlogging, keeping the Drift light and flexible.
A removable 100gsm quilted thermal liner insulates on colder days and there’s a handy detachable hood for use off the bike.
For peace of mind on the road, the Drift is AA-rated for protection and comes with CE-approved armour at shoulders and elbows, plus a back protector as standard. Reflective piping across the back increases visibility in low light.
There are two outer pockets, a handy one inside that is ideal for a smartphone, and a zipped pocket on the left cuff that’s perfect for stashing a bike key / fob, or a bank card for quick and easy fuel stops.
The Drift retails at £199.99 including VAT and comes in sizes S-5XL in Black.

Designed to be worn on its own with No Jacket Required, the Urbane Pro Mk3 is the ultimate impact and abrasion resistant motorcycle armoured shirt.
A Class AA CE approved protective garment for all riders, no matter what motorcycle or terrain they ride.
Worn close to the body, the armour won’t move around so it’s always where you need it, when you need it. The most versatile, lightweight, breathable and comfortable armoured shirt for riding in the heat. When the weather turns cold or wet, simply add Knox Seasonless Layers so you can continue to use it all year round.
The Mk3 has even more performance and is packed with extra features and pockets. It is fitted with thinner, lighter and more flexible Level 2 Micro-Lock Compact in the back, shoulders and elbows.
CE approved as a standalone “Class AA” garment with approved abrasion resistance built in, meaning an outer shell is no longer necessary unless you want to wear one.
The MK3 design aesthetic has been refined but the abrasion resistance, superior stretch comfort, light weight and breathability remain intact. The pocket layout has practical zipped pockets on the front with a visor wipe and an internal chest phone pocket, with additional pocket for storing ear plugs. Improved internal pocket options. The neck and cuffs have a new soft, comfortable binding. A front placket with embossed branding for an extra feel of luxury and comfort on the neck. New innovative reflective piping and security belt loops.
In changing weather conditions just add warm or waterproof layers, knowing that the Urbane Pro Mk3 is still the CORE abrasion and armour layer beneath. The Urbane Pro Mk3 has been designed to work seamlessly with all styles in the Knox Seasonless Collection.
Also Available as the Urbane Pro Utility Mk3. For those adventurous riders who go further and want more storage, the Mk3 Utility is the correct choice with 5 exterior utility-style pockets and 2 inner pockets.
Available in Mens and Womens Styles.

The Knox Seasonless collection is about forgetting the rules of seasonal clothing. The seasonless collection can be used at any time of year and riders can add more or less layers as they need them or mix them however, they want.
