Advice & Guides 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...
Customers praised the jacket for its perfect fit, finish, and high-quality design. Lightweight and vented, it provides excellent airflow, making it ideal for hot weather. Customers noted its effectiveness in temperatures ranging from 18 to 40 degrees Celsius. The removable waterproof liner was appreciated for rain protection and added versatility. While some mentioned sizing issues, particularly with arm length, the jacket's comfort and ease of movement when off the bike was commended. Overall, it was highly recommended for warm climates.
Fantastic jacket for the money. Keeps me cool on hot days and a waterproof removable liner that works.
Would recommend this if heat is an issue, though I haven’t used the waterproof liner.
The Oxford Dakar Dry2Dry jacket is very stylish and well made. As advertised it lets air flow across your body and is cool to wear while providing good protection. The quality is excellent. Watch out for the sizing. They are neat fitting.
Well, not usually my style, but a planned trip to Portugal and Spain means that I must accept that heavy waxed jackets or trad leather may not be appropriate. So.. in the interest of comfort, and safety, through avoiding heat stroke I decided to go 'full on' power ranger with this jacket. Well, the colours are more subdued than I feared, the finish exceptional and comfort...magnificent. Why do people buy the expensive stuff? This, coupled with the exceptional returns policy of SportsBikeShop make this jacket a total and utter no brainer at full cost. I was lucky, and got in on a special offer.
Purchased for summer riding the Dakar looks good and is lightweight and airy. It’s made to the usual good Oxford quality and fits well with other Oxford style trousers. Due to the lightweight feel I purchased the optional back protector for extra confidence and comfort.
Good fit and it's lightweight
The jackets fits really well, not bulky and feels really well made.
I've not worn it yet as I bought it whilst it was on offer and in preparation for better days. So all I can say for now is that it fits well and seems well made. Here's hoping for a good summer!
Great jacket, good quality, accurate size and fitting. Used on a trip to the Canary Islands in September and worked a treat. Protective and vented.
Great jacket, in between sizes, I’m a large normally but with the back protector in the xl it fits better . Highly recommend
Very breathable jacket.
When you get the right size it's a lot better.
Would recommend the try before buy service.
The gals and guys at the Glasgow store were brilliant! Proper chilled atmosphere, really helpful and knowledgeable.
Excellent value on sale and a must have in summer weather. Well made and good fit. Highly recommended
Got jacket on discount, quality item, great price Oxford really too stiff
Great may to oct jacket well put together
I bought this jacket on sale (£99 if I remember correctly) and can't really complain at that price. That said, the olive green colour is uglier than it looks in the pic . The quality is ok and features are basic. It lacks a proper set of pockets. It doesn't come with a back protector, and surprisingly, I really felt anxious without one so I put one in it. I bought this jacket for use in hot weather and don't often use the liner, but the liner does keep you dry in moderate rain. For touring, I prefer something with more features, but £99, it's hard to beat this jacket.
Like the design, love the orange accents amongst the darkish colours.
Functions well. Beware when removing, ensure to pull both the outer and liner sleeve together. Learnt the hard way and broke one of the liner sleeve retainers near the cuff.
Otherwise no complaints so far.
Well thought out design, manufactured to a high standard. Comfortable too. Sizing is on small size, I needed a large, normally medium. Flap across neck is a bit tight. Otherwise an excellent jacket at a good price.
Good quality, meshy, but hasn't been warm enough to try for real :)
I think the fit may be a bit on the small side, so would suggest trying it on. Usually I'm an M, but got an S here
I bought this for the hot weather and it's really good with great airflow through the jacket. Quality is excellent as you'd expect from Oxford.
Service from Sportsbikeshop is always good
