If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
I bought the Oxford Calgary suit in early May 25 for a 3000 mile bike tour to Europe, including 3 days in the Italian Dolomites and 3 days in the Alps. For the early start to the Channel Tunnel, 4C, I wore the thermal liners; these were removed at the first night’s stop and remained in my top box for the rest of the 14 day trip. The suit kept me warm, with just a thin fleece underneath, over some of the mountain passes (down to 5C), cool along the Italian Med coast (28C) and dry through 2 days of heavy rain (base layer completely dry). The wrist and ankle cuffs easily allow fitting gloves/boots underneath and the Velcro flaps make fastening and sealing the cuffs very easy. A very comfortable and effective suit which well deserves its Ride recommendation and offers incredible value.
Comfortable true sizing and too warm!! Had to take the liners out as it’s 10-12 degrees C outside
Well made trousers, CE AA rated, reasonably priced too.
Was looking for another pair of trousers which weren't baggy at the knees, but would zip to my non Oxford jacket, these fit the bill.
Waterproof and warm with the liner in. The braces are great.
Velcro adjustment at the lower leg holds the armour in place and stops the trousers flapping about.
Simple pants - but so far very effective. Definietely waterproof. Landing on my knees in the puddle and staying dry proofs it. Really love the braces. There are only 2 hip pockets, but they are reasonably large and sufficient. The most important for me - they fit over or inside my boots. Also - not sure whether intenctionally - there are no zip locks or any hard elements at the bottom of the trousers - so when you put pants in the boot - nothing to dig painfully into your shins. Reasonably priced, no-nonse piece of kit.
