Our customers say…
Customers generally find these jeans comfortable and fitting true to size, especially comparing favorably to other brands they own. The jeans are praised for their durability, despite being lighter and less bulky than other protective options. Some customers mention the knee and hip armor can be uncomfortable, especially while walking, and may remove them.

Good buy!
21 May 2024 by Robert M
Good pair of riding trousers. First and foremost true to size. I wear 30W and they fit like a glove. Came jn with knee and hip pads which is unexpected but most welcome. Not tested in rain yet but so far really happy riding in warm weathers. Got 3 different pairs from SBS (easy returns!) and never thought I'd be keeping the slim fit ones as I always wear straight fit. Straight fit from Oxford just felt too bulky/ loose/ oversized to me. Happy customer!

Good quality, but poor fitment
14 May 2024 by Bruno M
The apparent quality of the these jeans is quite good, and the fitment is okay if you're not using the add-on paddings.
Personally, if you put the add-ons in place, the fitment will be poor, and all seems out place when you're on the bike. It also looks "odd" when standing with the pads fitted, not something you'd like to be wearing if you're commuting to work for example.

Oxford slim fit jeans black
10 September 2023 by Valentin C
As a begginer rider,I do thik this are great pair of jeans, wore them a few times now and I have to say they are very comfortable even with the hip and knee protections on. I didn't try them on a rainy day so I can't comment. Apart from that I'm happy with my purchase.

Nice Jeans

These are nice jeans more like normal jeans but with the added protection. A little bit long in the leg for me (normally 31) but whilst riding are perfect.

Comfortable fit
17 August 2023 by Gary M
Quick service from SBS. Wanted some jeans for commuting. Fit is a bit big as expected, ordered the same size as I would for normal but even so they are comfortable and knee and hip protection good. Something to wear while at work without having to change.

Great Product
12 August 2023 by Newton
Really good product from Oxford again. Fit and finish good for the money. Originally purchased straight fit style, but were too big, so decided to try slim fit version and were a lot better. Sportsbikeshop were great throughout, quick delivery and easy returns.

Oxford Black Denim Jeans: Really good.
01 July 2023 by Darren S
There's are a very good fit, good quality jean that I am really liking so far.
They are a heavy product, which I was expecting and apart from the knee pads being a touch low when left in the pouch loose are perfect for summer use when the textile trousers are a touch too much.
To remedy the issue with the knee pads being low I just added a single stitch to them in the pouch to hold them in place and now they are perfect.
Good swift service from Sportsbikeshop as always. Thank you.
