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 generally praised the Oxford Hardy jacket for its stylish retro design, comfort, and overall quality. Many appreciated its warmth with the thermal liner and noted its good fit for casual wear. However, several customers highlighted sizing issues, often needing to size up due to snug fits, especially in the arms. They appreciated the pocket placement but expressed concerns about the back protector pocket's functionality. The jacket received positive feedback for its decent water resistance and adaptability for different seasons. Customers were consistently impressed with the jacket's look and feel.
I previously had the Richa version of this jacket and after a year or so the zip started to come away so I decided to go for Oxford this time. This feels like a much better jacket all round, more useable pockets, a better zip and still looks very nice. Amazing service from SBS as usual, thank you!
Feels strong and comfortable .
I added a back protector. Its good quality and like many bike jackets just go one size up in my view.
I purchased hased it for a trip to the Lake District. Perfect t on yhe Motor Way and along the trails. tbh I was considering the Marrakesh. I'm glad I opted for this :)
Really like this jacket it feels stylish to wear and fits really well. I am usually a medium and the XL was the perfect size. Have only worn it in slight rain so not sure about how waterproof it would be. Very warm and with a nice liner. Bought the back protector as not standard with the jacket.
Really liked the retro look, lots of pockets and protection. It has an inner liner that can be removed. Ordered online and came next day.
I m really happy with the jacket, great quality, looks great, perfect fit, recently purchased a Triumph Scrambler and its the perfect jacket.
Accurate sizing
Jacket is comfortable and arms are not restricting..Body armour is discrete and not bulky
This is a nice jacket. My first jacket as a kid was a waxed cotton one and I’d been wanting one for ages. It feels strong, it’s comfortable and it’s easy to get on. The fastening studs at the neck are quite stiff at first but I’ve got the knack of it now. I like the look and feel of it….its a proper jacket, lots of pockets. I went for the large (normally wear medium). It fits fine?
It is a close fit, even when ordered one size up.
This is a fantastic jacket. I’ve been in the market for a wax jacket for a while, but didn’t want to pay for the premium brand.
I like everything about this, jacket, the style, fit, weight and a removable lining.
I’ve tried it in the dry in the cooler mornings and it’s kept me nice and warm, I think the lining will have to come out as we move towards the summer.
I haven’t tried it in the wet yet, but I’m sure it will throw the odd shower. I always carry a waterproof in my top box in case things get seriously wet whatever I’m wearing.
Great service SBS.
Fits perfectly as size chart. Great look and feel. Love it.
This jacket looks and feels good. Not removed the liner as yet, but it kept me warm in cold weather. The wax look is good, jacket is something you could wear to the pub or shops. Plenty of pockets, cuffs are lined and stop the draughts. All zips feels good quality. I went up a size to get best fit.
Excellent quality jacket. It looks and feels amazing. I would recommend getting one size larger than usual. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Well made and stylish jacket. I've yet to ride in the rain so can't comment on its waterproof qualities. I will confirm what others have said in that it is sized on the small side, I'm normally an XL in clothing including my other motorcycle jackets and I've gone to a 2XL with this one and it's a nice fit.
Great prompt service from sportsbikeshop.
The jacket is very comfortable, good quality, very pleased with it. Like other reviews size up.
Shame you have to purchase the back protection separately though.
I like the style and colour of the olive jacket. I measure 42" chest and the XL fits me well.
The sleeves are a snug fit and the stud fastener on the cuff are a bit fiddly but overall a good jacket.
Went on a 50 mile ride on Boxing Day with no issues.
This jacket is much better quality than you expect from a jacket at this price. I have not used it in the rain as it is not really for this type of riding (that's why they make Gore-Tex jackets) But it is warm and fits the bill superbly and looks the business.
