Reise Riding Jacket Review

How we researched this guide

We compared 5 Reise jacket models from 7 review and launch sources, including three-month and first-impression reviews, and checked the armour, weight and liner claims on each model against more than one source where possible.

We also searched for a US buy route and found none: no Amazon.com listing for any Reise jacket, no RevZilla or Cycle Gear listing, and every where-to-buy pointer leading to reisemoto.com or Indian stores. This guide therefore has no buy buttons.

The 30-second answer

Reise makes five real riding jackets for the Indian market, all with CE Level 2 armour: the Dalton for sport-touring, the Pine Air for summer touring, the Rizo for the city, and the Spidi collaboration Diablo and Lemeto for summer street riding. Buy direct from reisemoto.com; there is no US retailer and no Amazon.com listing.

Best sport-touring pick

Reise Dalton

A sport-touring mesh jacket with Safetech Level 2 armour on shoulders, elbows, back and chest, weighing a reported 1.6 kg. Reviewers call its ventilation the best they had used, with a clean fit and YKK zips that work with gloves on.

Best summer touring pick

Reise Pine Air

A summer touring jacket in 600D textile with 1000D Cordura slide zones, 3D mesh on chest, arms and back, and Safetech Easyflex Level 2 armour on shoulders, elbows, back and chest. A reported 2.2 kg, with waterproof front pockets and no rain or winter liner as standard.

Best urban mesh pick

Reise Rizo

An urban mesh jacket for city commutes, with a low-profile collar for low-speed airflow and a Level 2 Safetech armour range claim. The least reviewed of the five jackets here: it appears in launch summaries, with no dedicated owner review found.

Best collaboration street pick

Reise x Spidi Diablo

A mesh street jacket from the Reise and Spidi collaboration, with Spidi Warrior Tech Level 2 protectors on shoulders, elbows and back, a CE Class A garment rating, and a reported 1.865 kg. Chest protectors are not standard but the pockets take them.

Best summer street pick

Reise x Spidi Lemeto

A summer street mesh jacket with a CE Class A garment rating and Warrior Tech Level 2 protectors on shoulders, elbows and back. Mesh at the armpits, arms, back and chest keeps it cool; like the Diablo it ships without a rain or thermal liner.

How to choose a Reise riding jacket

Match the jacket to the ride

The Dalton is the sport-touring pick, the Pine Air the summer touring pick, the Rizo the city pick, and the Diablo and Lemeto the summer street picks. A mesh jacket built for Indian heat is not a winter jacket, and none of the five ships with a rain or thermal liner as standard except where noted.

Armour: all four zones or three

The Dalton and Pine Air carry Level 2 armour on shoulders, elbows, back and chest. The Diablo and Lemeto carry Level 2 on shoulders, elbows and back, with chest protectors as an add-on. If chest protection matters to you, the Dalton covers it as standard and the Spidi pair does not.

Garment rating, not just armour

Armour level and garment class are different claims. The Diablo and Lemeto carry a CE Class A garment rating. The Dalton protector levels are confirmed, but its garment class is not stated in any source we found, so do not assume it matches the Spidi pair.

Weight you will feel in the city

Reported weights run from 1.6 kg for the Dalton to 2.2 kg for the Pine Air, and reviewers notice the difference. The Pine Air ventilation works best on the highway and the weight shows in city traffic. Try the fit with your normal layers before deciding.

Buy direct, and check sizing first

Reise sells through its own site and Indian stores, with no US fitting network. Order direct from reisemoto.com, check the size guide against a jacket you own, and confirm shipping and returns before paying, because a return from outside India is slow and costly.

Detailed reviews: Reise riding jackets

Each jacket below is covered from its reviews and launch reports. There are no Amazon buttons in this guide: no Reise jacket could be verified on Amazon.com, and the only Amazon listings found for the brand were Indian-market gloves and tyres, which are not jackets and not usable here. Buy direct from the maker.

Best sport-touring pick: Reise Dalton

Why the Reise Dalton is our pick

A sport-touring mesh jacket with Safetech Level 2 armour on shoulders, elbows, back and chest, weighing a reported 1.6 kg. Reviewers call its ventilation the best they had used, with a clean fit and YKK zips that work with gloves on.

Reise Dalton: key facts

Safetech Easyflex Level 2 on shoulders and elbows; Safetech Viscoflex Level 2 on back and chest. Reported weight 1.6 kg. Two front pockets, two inside pockets, one waterproof rear pocket. Colours include Green, Khaki, Blue and Black with grey camouflage graphics. Arm and waist adjustment straps.

Reise Dalton: fits and best for

Best for the riding in its card, in hot weather, with a separate rain layer when needed. These are mesh jackets built for Indian heat; they are not cold-weather or wet-weather jackets as sold.

Reise Dalton: pros and watch-outs

  • CE Level 2 armour as standard
  • Strong ventilation in reviews
  • Mesh construction suits hot climates
  • No rain or thermal liner as standard
  • India-only sales channel
  • Thin owner coverage on some models

Reise Dalton: what owners report

ZigWheels first impressions call the ventilation the best the reviewer had used, and EVO India notes the 1.6 kg weight, the smooth YKK zips with gloves on, and the roomy pockets. One niggle: the rear collar sits slightly low, so a T-shirt collar can peek out.

Reise Dalton: who should not buy

Do not buy any Reise jacket expecting US dealer support, easy returns, or a local fitting. If you need a jacket you can try on locally, buy a brand sold in your country instead.

Best summer touring pick: Reise Pine Air

Why the Reise Pine Air is our pick

A summer touring jacket in 600D textile with 1000D Cordura slide zones, 3D mesh on chest, arms and back, and Safetech Easyflex Level 2 armour on shoulders, elbows, back and chest. A reported 2.2 kg, with waterproof front pockets and no rain or winter liner as standard.

  • Mesh construction suits hot climates
  • No rain or thermal liner as standard

Reise Pine Air: what owners report

Autocar India used the Pine Air for three months: the elbow armour absorbed a low-speed fall on broken concrete with only a minor bruise, the jacket picked up abrasions but stayed usable, and the ventilation worked best on the highway. The beige colour shows dirt quickly.

Best urban mesh pick: Reise Rizo

Why the Reise Rizo is our pick

An urban mesh jacket for city commutes, with a low-profile collar for low-speed airflow and a Level 2 Safetech armour range claim. The least reviewed of the five jackets here: it appears in launch summaries, with no dedicated owner review found.

Reise Rizo: key facts

Urban mesh construction with a low-profile collar for low-speed airflow. Level 2 Safetech armour range claim. Three colours reported: Blue, Black and Sand. No dedicated review found, so the armour detail and weight below are launch-summary claims, not review findings.

Reise Rizo: fits and best for

Best for the riding in its card, in hot weather, with a separate rain layer when needed. These are mesh jackets built for Indian heat; they are not cold-weather or wet-weather jackets as sold.

  • Mesh construction suits hot climates
  • No rain or thermal liner as standard
  • India-only sales channel

Reise Rizo: what owners report

No dedicated owner review of the Rizo was found. It appears only in launch summaries, so owner evidence for this model is thin and this guide says so rather than dressing up launch claims as owner reports.

Reise Rizo: who should not buy

Do not buy any Reise jacket expecting US dealer support, easy returns, or a local fitting. If you need a jacket you can try on locally, buy a brand sold in your country instead.

Best collaboration street pick: Reise x Spidi Diablo

Why the Reise x Spidi Diablo is our pick

A mesh street jacket from the Reise and Spidi collaboration, with Spidi Warrior Tech Level 2 protectors on shoulders, elbows and back, a CE Class A garment rating, and a reported 1.865 kg. Chest protectors are not standard but the pockets take them.

Reise x Spidi Diablo: key facts

Mesh with 600D polyester on shoulders and arms. Spidi Warrior Tech Level 2 on shoulders, elbows and back; chest protectors not standard, pockets fitted. CE Class A garment rating. Reported weight 1.865 kg. Colours Black, Red and Black, Yellow and Black.

  • No rain or thermal liner as standard
  • India-only sales channel
  • Thin owner coverage on some models

Reise x Spidi Diablo: what owners report

BikeDekho notes the mesh ventilation and the heavy feel of the thick nylon panels. The jacket reads as a warm-weather street jacket, not a touring jacket, and the missing chest protectors as standard are the clear gap.

Reise x Spidi Diablo: who should not buy

Do not buy any Reise jacket expecting US dealer support, easy returns, or a local fitting. If you need a jacket you can try on locally, buy a brand sold in your country instead.

Best summer street pick: Reise x Spidi Lemeto

Why the Reise x Spidi Lemeto is our pick

A summer street mesh jacket with a CE Class A garment rating and Warrior Tech Level 2 protectors on shoulders, elbows and back. Mesh at the armpits, arms, back and chest keeps it cool; like the Diablo it ships without a rain or thermal liner.

Reise x Spidi Lemeto: key facts

Mesh at armpits, arms, back and chest. Spidi Warrior Tech Level 2 on shoulders, elbows and back; chest protectors not standard, pockets fitted. CE Class A garment rating. No rain or thermal liner as standard. Colours Black, Sand and a blue scheme.

Reise x Spidi Lemeto: fits and best for

  • CE Level 2 armour as standard
  • Strong ventilation in reviews
  • Mesh construction suits hot climates

Reise x Spidi Lemeto: what owners report

BikeDekho calls the Lemeto comfortable and well ventilated for summer, and the missing rain and thermal liners the only thing that would have sweetened the deal. Riders on a tighter budget are pointed to the Dalton, which keeps chest protectors as standard.

Reise x Spidi Lemeto: who should not buy

Do not buy any Reise jacket expecting US dealer support, easy returns, or a local fitting. If you need a jacket you can try on locally, buy a brand sold in your country instead.

How the Reise range fits together

Reise sells two lines: its own solo range, with Safetech armour, and the Reise x Spidi collaboration, designed in Italy and made at the Spidi safety lab. The solo range covers city, sport-touring and summer touring; the Spidi pair covers summer street riding. All five jackets share the same idea: mesh ventilation for hot weather, Level 2 armour, and a rain layer bought separately.

Safety essentials

A jacket is protection, not a guarantee. Fit and armour coverage decide how much it helps.

  • Check the armour sits on shoulders, elbows, back and chest when you ride.
  • Replace armour after a crash that loads it.
  • A mesh jacket needs a rain layer; wet mesh protects less and chills fast.
  • Check zips and seams before every long ride.
  • Buy the size that fits with your normal layers, not the size you wish for.
  • Never ride without a helmet, gloves and proper footwear because the jacket is good.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause Fix
Armour sits off the joint Wrong size or loose straps Adjust straps; size down if it still moves
Jacket feels heavy in town Weight and liner position Wear the lighter model for city rides
Cold in rain No rain liner fitted Add a rain layer over the jacket
Collar rubs the neck Low rear collar on some models Wear a neck gaiter or size the collar fit

Who should NOT buy these

Riders outside India: no local fitting, no local support, and a slow return if the size is wrong.

Wet-weather riders: none of these jackets ships with a rain liner. Budget for one or buy a jacket that includes it.

Anyone wanting chest protection as standard: the Diablo and Lemeto do not include it. The Dalton does.

FAQ

Where can I buy a Reise riding jacket?

From the maker own site, reisemoto.com, and selected stores in India. The first exclusive Reise Moto store opened in Mumbai, and every launch and review source points buyers to reisemoto.com. No US retailer or distributor was found, and no Reise jacket was found on Amazon.com.

Is Reise a real motorcycle gear brand?

Yes. Reise Moto is an Indian-market brand from the Mahansaria Group, a manufacturer that began in motorcycle tyres and then launched its own riding gear, plus a collaboration range with Spidi designed in Italy. The jackets are reviewed by Indian motorcycle press such as Autocar India, ZigWheels and BikeDekho.

What armour do Reise jackets use?

The solo range uses Italian Safetech Level 2 armour: Easyflex on shoulders and elbows, and Viscoflex on back and chest in the Dalton. The Reise x Spidi range uses Spidi Warrior Tech Level 2 protectors on shoulders, elbows and back. Chest protectors are not standard on the Diablo and Lemeto, but the jackets have pockets for them.

Are Reise jackets CE rated?

The Diablo and Lemeto carry a CE Class A garment rating, stated in their reviews. The Dalton protector levels are confirmed as Level 2 across all four zones, but no source states the Dalton garment EN 17092 class, so this guide does not claim one for it.

Which Reise jacket is best for summer?

The Pine Air for touring and the Lemeto for street riding. Both are mesh jackets built for heat, with Level 2 armour and strong ventilation in reviews. Neither ships with a rain or thermal liner as standard, so budget for a rain layer in the monsoon.

How heavy are Reise jackets?

Reported weights are 1.6 kg for the Dalton, 2.2 kg for the Pine Air and 1.865 kg for the Diablo, each from a different review source. The Pine Air weight shows in city use: the Autocar reviewer calls 2.2 kg cumbersome in city runs, while the ventilation works best on the highway.

Do Reise jackets come with a rain liner?

No, not as standard on the Pine Air, Diablo or Lemeto. The Pine Air has waterproof front pockets, but the jacket itself needs a separate rain layer in wet weather. Check the liner position before buying if you ride through monsoon season.

Can I buy Reise jackets in the US or Europe?

No US or European retailer was found carrying Reise, and no Reise jacket listing was found on Amazon.com. The brand sells through its own site and Indian stores. Buyers outside India would need to order direct from reisemoto.com and check shipping and sizing before paying.
