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.
Well made summer mesh jacket. Good airflow on hot days without the liner. On cooler days or when weather is changeable, there is a removable waterproof liner which is simple to zip in and out. Adjustable cuffs, zip pockets, elbow and shoulder protection, pocket for a back protector make this a practical summer jacket. A godsend on our recent bike tour when temperatures were in the 30s.
Great jacket for those hot sunny days,
good air flow through the jacket, has 3 useful pockets, 2 handwarmer pockets and 1 inner mesh pocket all are a good size good size
also has a removable rainproof/windproof inner jacket, not tested in wet weather, which is were the waterproof inner pocket is.
comes with shoulder and elbow armour but not back armour,
I got the back armour, fits well in the jacket, would have liked it to be a little longer
Great bit of kit, very light and airy, and at the same time doesn't feel unsafe. Absolute winner for the high temperatures of the summer. Oh, and the waterproof liner is really good too!! It's easy to remove or put back in, and doesn't take up hardly any room in a bag. I'm just about to buy the trousers to go with it. Topjob! Well worth the money.
Light weight and cool even in this current hot spell. When the temperature drops I’ve found putting the waterproof lining back in keeps it from being to cold .i probably will invest in a back protector . The fit is ok but probably more to do with my body shape! So worth trying on if possible. Overall this seems like a really good hot weather jacket, especially for £99.
Very good product, comfortable, excellent fit and ventilation
Over the past five years I’ve been wearing textile check shirts with shoulder and elbow pads. These are great unless it rains.
The waterproof lining of my new Oxford jacket answers this problem, and my friends on my last moped meet say I look good from behind lol.
Felt it looks better than the picture says. Great fit, well ventilated, got caught in a thunderstorm, stayed dry, very surprised by how well it did.
Well priced, quick delivery, fitting guide was spot on which meant the jacket was a good fit
Fantastic jacket for the money. Keeps me cool on hot days and a waterproof removable liner that works.
The Dakar jacket fits well and is well made. Quality is excellent at this price point, it's very comfortable and lightweight. I am very happy with this purchase and the first class service and speed of delivery from sportsbikeshop.
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.
