Weise Nomad jacket gets extreme test

Weise’s all-weather Nomad jacket has been put through its paces in the MIRA automotive test facility’s climatic wind tunnel for BBC Breakfast’s Mike Bushell to discover just how effective modern motorcycle clothing is at keeping adverse weather conditions at bay.

The Nomad was tested in two extreme scenarios, first rain, with temperatures down to –10°C and with 43mph gusts.

Mike reported that he remained perfectly comfortable in the Nomad, despite the extreme conditions.

The firm claims the Nomad’s waterproof, breathable drop lining acts as a barrier against wind chill, while its fleece inner insulates the rider and the Weise water release system channels excess water out of the jacket to prevent it becoming water-logged.

The second test involved being subjected to temperatures of 35°C.

With the Nomad’s liners removed and panels at the chest and arms zipped-out to reveal mesh airflow panes, Mike remained cool and comfortable throughout his test ‘ride’.

The Weise Nomad jacket is available for just £249.99 in sizes S-XXXXL in black/gun.
