Its innovative max airflow system makes this waterproof textile jacket comfortable to wear even riding in the hottest conditions.
The Nomad’s range-topping specification starts at the outer shell, which is constructed from 500 Denier DuPont CORDURA® - a high performance fabric, resistant to abrasion, tears, scuffs and punctures. This is combined with CE approved armour at the shoulders, elbows and back, (yes, genuine CE protection in the back too), plus 3M™ reflective panels at front of the jacket, with piping at rear and upper arms, to offer first class protection and visibility.
Along with the superb safety features, the Nomad also boasts top quality comfort, thanks to the ISOTEX® waterproof, windproof, breathable drop lining. ISOTEX® is designed to regulate the wearer's body temperature by not only keeping water out, but by wicking moisture away from the wearer and acting as a barrier against wind chill. It is also thin and light in construction, so can be incorporated into clothing without adding excess bulk, or restricting the wearer's movement.
In addition, the Nomad has a fleece inner to keep the rider warm, plus six-inch and 360-degree trouser connection zips and pull-cord adjustment at the base, to prevent the jacket 'riding-up' and allowing in cold air.
It also features the WEISE® Water Release System (WRS) to channel excess water out of the jacket and away from the rider, ensuring a dry and comfortable ride.
For use in warmer climates, the Nomad has panels at the chest and arms that zip out to reveal mesh airflow panels, plus airflow venting at the rear. Both the ISOTEX® and fleece liners can be removed and re-fitted easily and quickly – either individually, or together – to give the best possible combination for the temperature and conditions.
A fully adjustable Velcro® retained twin belt system at the waist and Velcro® straps at the cuffs and upper arms ensure a snug fit and allow for the use of base layers. Neoprene finish at the collar and cuffs also adds to the Nomad’s superb comfort.
Topping off the Nomad’s impressive spec are the four waterproof outer pockets at the front, the bottom two sealed by YKK® waterproof zippers, making them ideal for essentials like mobile phones and wallets. There is also a large rear pocket, which is suitable for carrying bulkier items such as maps or waterproof over-trousers.
The WEISE® Nomad jacket is available at an SRP of just £249.99 and comes in sizes S-4XL in black/gun only.
New Four-season Nomad Jacket from Weise®
