I was really suffering from the heat that we are having more and more now in my usual textile jackets and thought l would try a mesh jacket. Am l glad l did the difference was amazing and still had all the protection needed and isso comfortable and stylish too at a great price
I have found this jacket very cool to wear in the hot weather and it’s very comfortable.
Excellent lightweight mesh jacket, perfect for the recent hot weather. I've got a couple of jackets but nothing lightweight for the summer and this has been a godsend during hot weather. Great style and fit, comes with good shoulder and elbow armour and I bought an oxford back protector to finish it off.
I bought this jacket to keep cool whilst riding in this years hot summer. It s fantastic and exactly what I needed keeping me cool in really hot weather. The only thing to be aware of is that it doesn t have a back protector, I purchased one very cheaply from eBay. Very very happy with this jacket.
Makes riding in the heat bearable. As always, great service from SBS.
For the price this jacket was great value. Allows you to keep cool when it’s hot, No back protector but just swap one around with my cooler weather Jacket.
I wore the jacket during the recent hot weather in the UK, including 2+ hours of motorway and urban riding, and didn't feel like a sweaty mess at the end of it. Service from SBS was the same rapid high quality as it's always been when I've ordered from them. Cheers guys!!
I loved it so much I told a friend, he tried mine and he asked to order him one and that's was my 2nd purchase.
Thank you
Exactly what I needed for the summer months. The fit is perfect, plenty of airflow and still has a bit of basic armour. The perfect summer jacket..
My first mesh jacket. Up to now I’ve managed with opening vents on my usual jacket (Oxford Montreal) but the temperatures we have seen lately were a step too far. Very impressed with just how cool and light it is. I won’t ride without an armoured jacket and the shoulder and elbow armour seem adequate. Pockets and zips seem of decent quality and quantity so I’m very happy with my purchase, and at a reasonable price from SBS.
Purchased this Oxford Spartan jacket for a recent trip to Europe. Temperatures were 22c up to 40c. The mesh jacket performed amazingly well keeping me as cool as was possible. I also added the optional level 2 back protector. Fit and finish are first class and absolutely great value at the price. There is adjustment on waist, arms and cuffs to make it fit like a glove. Sportsbikeshop were top grade as usual.
Nothing to dislike,
Everything to like, I've found it perfect for the hot weather,
Keeps you cool while riding in the sun ,
It looks good and is well made .
I m really pleased with this purchase,
If you re starting your ride before the sun comes up I would suggest a thin thermal layer just to keep the chill off , as it s obviously designed for riding in the hot weather, but once the sun is up it will do exactly what it s designed to do ,
.and all at a great price.
Be nice if it had belt loops aswell as the zip to join trousers
Brilliant summer jacket, it made all the difference riding it very hot weather... I stayed a lot cooler on my bike .. that made the ride a lot more enjoyable.
Good sizing, and well put together jacket at a great price... The sportsbikeshop were a pleasure to deal with, great service...
Absolutely fantastic jacket especially in this hot weather. Can't recommend it enough. I told my mates about hiw good it is, and they both bought one.
Love it.
I'm 6'2" with long arms and about 106kg. It can be hard to know the sizing but the 3XL fits me very well. I tried on an alternative brand at a different shop and the 3XL sizing there was very small indeed.
Functionality of the Oxford Spartan it is great, very light and it breathes well. Pockets are big enough and the protection feels fine.
I chose SportsBike Shop as they are very fair about returns and delivery promptly.
A good buy.
Really pleased with this jacket. It's lightweight, really comfortable and flows plenty of air, which is perfect in the current weather. The armour feels good without being bulky, and the sizing was spot on for me, I'm normally a large and the large fitted perfectly. Considering the price, I think it offers excellent value for money. The only thing worth mentioning is that the logos on the jacket don't match the photos on the website, mine has the Oxford logo rather than the Spartan helmet shown. Not an issue for me, and I believe it's due to different manufacturing runs. Overall, it's a great jacket, and I'd definitely recommend it.
