Advice & Guides For the best chance of staying dry, laminated waterproofing is the way to go…

Customers commend the jacket's comfort, waterproof quality, and value for money. Its laminated design keeps it light and quick-drying, with good ventilation for warmth and airflow. Many highlight successful use in varying weather, from torrential rain to hot conditions, with consistent dryness and warmth. While the fit generally pleases, some mention sizing adjustments. The collar's adjustability is welcomed, though some find it low. Overall, customers find it a reliable and affordable alternative to pricier brands, offering excellent protection and functionality.
The jacket is shorter than I expected but plenty long enough and I am tall. This also makes it a smarter option when off the bike and when its teamed with bike jeans. Its warm with the liner in, but I cant vouch for the water proofing yet. If its anything like the matching trousers which are ace, I will be a happy chappy.
I bought it in the Black Friday sale but it's worth full price. I like the venting & feel of the jacket. The thermal liner is pretty warm and will be handy for really cold days. Picked it up from the Harlow shop that always has good service.
An amazing jacket for the price. As good as jackets 3x the price. Thermal liner is extremely warm in the winter.
In summer thermal liner is removable, and panels open to allow airflow through the chest area. Zips on arms can be opened to allow airflow through mesh in the arms - to keep things nice and cool.
Lots of pocket space, and a map pocket on the bottom of the back.
Protection on elbows and arms, with options for extra back protection.
Have used on a couple of touring trips. An all round, all year jacket that is hard to fault anywhere.
Comfy and plush feeling at a great price
I have used this for two years in all weathers, Very dependable and waterproof. Never had a problem and use it summer and winter.
Got this for a 2500 mile tour of Europe with high and low temps. It worked really well, was dry in hours of rain through France and coolish in 32degree Swiss temperatures.
The zips could be a little easier to use but then I suppose they would leak.
This is a mid range jacket with good waterproofing, acceptable venting and reasonably warm. It s not a full 3 season jacket if you like wearing Tee shirts under. There are better and more expensive versions of those or weather specific products on the market.
I have bought another jacket which will be better in the summer and has a separate rain cover and destination jacket. But that is colder as it has a lot of zips with vents.
Main downer is the A rating
I bought one in 2019, and it is still comfortable, and at least showerproof (in heavy rain I use an oversuit as well). But for the (discounted, presumably stock clearance) price, I decided a second jacket was better value than a more more expensive brand. Brilliant home delivery service as size and colour not in Leeds shop - ordered one day after midday, arrived the following day about 1 pm. What more could you ask for?
For the price it's a great jacket, comfortable good pockets and warm
Fantastic bike jacket that sizes as expected; I’m a medium and fits perfectly (5ft 9, 78kg). Bought for a DAS course with two days of torrential UK rain and kept me dry. Superb quality and looks great imo; I also purchased the highest spec back armour, which apart from the additional weight you wouldn’t know you were wearing. Can’t recommend this jacket highly enough.
Neck clasp is a bad design. Came apart therefore not waterproof as water gets in through the top.
Great fit, usual Oxford value for money and even better with the SBS discount. Goes over gloves easily, but a little bulky for gloves that go over. Worn in light rain and worked well. Not used in heavy rain yet. Personally prefer double front zips, but single zip with flap and Velcro seems to work well. Used in under 10 degree temperatures with only a thermal base layer and T shirt and comfortable.
I am amazed at how far textile riding gear has come in the 20 years since we were using Rukka and this jacket is a great example. It is so comfortable and keeps the wind and wet at bay. Its such good value I am looking forward to year round riding.
Good fit, works well with one liner only so not too bulky and very good value. Air vents work well, this is my second Mondial and I wear it all year round.
This is excellent value, lots cheaper than it's laminated shell rivals. Given that I had to return the first one because the large size was too small ( great returns system incidentally) and reorder the xL size, I usually take size L in other things so worth bearing in mind. The XL fits really well and with the liner in is nice and toasty, there are a good number of pockets both inside and out, the neck closure system is also much better than the usual Velcro type.
Issue: the wrist gap when the zip is fully down is a bit tight and because the size is up from L to XL. the sleeves are a touch long, although that's just me perhaps.the jacket looks good on and so far has proved both water and draught resistant. All in all very pleased with it.
Bought this jacket on recommendations from other bikers who couldn't afford the more expensive proven jackets. So far so good.
This jacket fits perfectly, keeps me warm and dry, but not yet used in heavy rain, although I have complete confidence in it. Lots of pockets, just what I need! Marvellous jacket, nothing to dislike!
This jacket is one of the best ive owned warm comfy waterproof its that good i bought 2 of them great price its worth more in my opinion as its better than some more expensive jackets
My first laminate jacket and loving it, very comfortable and practical.
In a warmer 20degree day (haven't tried it in a super hot temps yet) with all the vents open its absolutely fantastic.
In colder days with all the vents closed and warm liner in place its more than enough over a simple long sleeve base layer.
Very curious to see how it'll perform in very low temps with just a thicker base layer.
I have been caught in a huge downpour while riding and the jacket kept me dry and the front pocket kept by wallet safe and dry too.
Being laminate, it dried easily once the rain stopped and I kept riding.
Very happy and would buy again
Milton Keynes SBS staff great with all the advice.
As they say, there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. Today's riding jackets are expected to be technically brilliant but that comes at a price with laminate jackets appearing at the top of that pile. Enter the new Oxford Mondial - technically brilliant but at a price that is within reach of all discerning motorcycle riders. In addition it's light weight, doesn't hold water in a downpour and dries out really quickly.

There are 2 external pockets that are not waterproof. There are 4 internal pockets, 2 on the inside of the thermal liner and 2 on the inside of the jacket itself. Whilst there are no dedicated waterproof pockets, the 4 internal pockets are on the inside of the waterproof liner, so there should be no water ingress from outside conditions.
