The style is all about city riding, but the Oxford Barkston is more versatile than that
Brought online with very quick delivery! (Next day) even when purchased late in the day, arrived boxed and secure! Jacket is a great fit very comfortable with the inner lining in and out, which is easily removed and replaced, had on in very warm weather and is very breathable and cool, no reason to think it’s not waterproof and will try when out in the rain. looks even better up close than it does online! Very happy customer and will definetly shop here again.
Unlike most textile jacket the waterproof aspect of this jacket is the outer shell and not the liner, which for me is good news as the first thing I do is to remove the liner and instead use a fleece if I need more warmth. Good sized pockets secured with press studs, sadly no inner zipped pocket to store a wallet. Front vents to allow some air flow in warmer weather. Zipped air vents in the rear and on arms would make this jacket perfect. No back protector but there is a pocket for one.
It's a really nice jacket - has the usual Oxford removable liner which is really warm, but was more than comfortable without it when we hit the 20's a couple of weeks ago. I've not ridden in real rain with it yet, but it's come through some showers and stayed dry. The armour's a bit stiff on the elbows, but not uncomfortable. The blue's a little lighter in person.
Oxford's sizing's pretty variable - I've swung from XL (Mondial) to 4XL (Dakar) and back without gaining/losing any weight. This seems pretty much in the middle, but I'd suggest trying it on in-person if you can.
The jacket came on time and I am delighted with this garment the colour and fit are spot on (size xlarge) 180cm ht 89Kg removed the thermal liner as I want to use my own mid layer. Not tried out in bad weather yet but if there's a problem I'll come back to this review.
Top pocket is a little small but can fit Keys and ear plugs. I added a back protector which made the jacket not fit as well as when it was not in.
I have rode in the dry and it is very comfy and as a bonus my wife likes it.
Bought this as an alternative to my regular Klim jacket which is looking a bit worn these days. Also goes well with my scooter. Fit is very good, with the liner in there is room for a mid and baselayer. Probably not as many pockets as you might want though. If it is like my other Oxford jacket it should be properly waterproof, despite not being goretex. I haven't been out in the rain just yet though. I think the pockets are waterproof otherwise there would be a problem !
