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 consistently praise the Oxford mesh jacket for its quality, comfort, and cooling properties during hot weather rides. Many are impressed with its ventilation and protective features, noting its ability to keep them cool while riding. Some mention the benefit of adjustable components and multiple pockets. However, customers advise upsizing for comfort, especially when adding back protection. Although some would prefer standard back protection, the jacket is valued for its quality and affordability, making it a popular choice.
Only one gripe... Arm armour pockets need a flap, I keep catching my thumb in it when putting jacket on
Perfect for the warmer weather, fits well and very comfortable.
Sadly I didn't buy this until quite late into the summer, because it's a great piece of kit for the warm weather. For the price, it seems really well made, looks good, fits well, and it's very comfortable to wear. It provides loads of ventilation in hot weather ands is lightweight enough to slip a waterproof over if it rains. It doesn't come with back armour as standard, but I didn't expect it at this price point (and the optional back armour is a relatively cheap addition). Really pleased with this jacket. I just wish I'd bought it at the beginning of the summer.
Basic but good hot weather jacket. Comfortable to wear plus has the benefit of shoulder/elbow protection. Pockets are useable and secured. Overall a good jacket for the price.
Absolutely love this jacket makes warm weather riding pleasurable, only wish I’d had one sooner.
The jacket is great in the summer, and does let good levels of air to flow through.
It's worth noting however that adding a back protector (even a D3O one which is fairly breatable), does limit the airflow somewhat. Still much nicer to ride in during the hotter days than other jackets.
I did however find that although the sizing is a bit short by the nature of the jacket, it fit snuggly for my usual size. However once adding in a back protector and sitting on the bike, it became very snug. I ordered a size up instead and this was much better,
Jacket seems well made, and does let a good amount of air through. Adjustable arms etc is nice too.
Only gripes would be that with a back protector fitted (even a fairly unrestricted D3O one) the airflow is reduced somewhat. Also, I found the sizing a tad small. I'm usually a medium and on receipt it fitted fairly snug, but once fitting a back protector and sitting on the bike it became too tight. Ordered next size up and seems much better.
Fast and efficient service and product as described, would buy again
Well made, excellent value for money.Have worn it in the recent hot weather and its comfortable and kept me cool.Fit is good, usual first class service from sportsbikeshop.
Really nice jacket, added a level 2 Oxford back protector that slotted straight into the pocket. A must have for warmer months. great fit, usual superb Oxford quality for the price point.
Would buy again.
Great quality good accurate fit very pleased
Good fit and feel. Good quality and looks smart.
Fits well and really pleased with the build quality
Perfect for those hot days
Would recommend
Sportsbikeshop 10/10 again and as always my first go to for choice quality and excellent service
Great jacket for the price, just used in 36c heat
It looks good. It feels quality. Great ventilation on a hot day, and, gives good thermal warmth when the temp reduces. The two internal pockets are deep and there is more than enough room for my phone, wallet and Raybans. The two waist pockets complemented by zip fastening are more than sufficient - remember to zip them up! I would recommend buying one size bigger than the measurement guide suggests.
Overall I am very pleased I bought the jacket, Oxford make quality gear at half the price and I will look at other Oxford biking gear from now on.
You feel the air as you ride, perfect for a hot summer day, with elbow and shoulder protection. Back protector can be added. Overall a good price, if you don't want to spend extra money for an armoured vest.
Excellent quality for the price. I ordered small and medium and the small fitted perfectly bearing in mind I will only wear t shirts under it. Slightly disappointed that the armour is only level 1 and no back protector.
