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.

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.

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.

Good light jacket for summer.

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.
