FAQs
What type of riding is this jacket best suited for?
The Oxford Sterling D2D Leather Motorcycle Jacket is ideal for upright riding positions, making it suitable for commuting, touring, and adventure riding.
How do I clean the Armourlite Pro Wax fabric?
Clean the fabric with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or solvents, as these can damage the material and its protective properties.
Are the CE protectors removable?
Yes, the CE Level 2 protectors at the shoulders and elbows are typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning of the jacket.
Can I wear this jacket in all weather conditions?
Yes, the jacket is designed for all-season use thanks to its Dry2Dry waterproof membrane and a removable thermal gilet. Adjustments can be made for varying temperatures and weather.
What is the main advantage of Armourlite Pro Wax fabric?
Armourlite Pro Wax fabric offers superior abrasion resistance that exceeds CE Class AA standards, combined with low maintenance compared to traditional leather treatments.
How does the Dry2Dry membrane work?
The Dry2Dry membrane is waterproof, preventing external water from entering the jacket, while also being breathable, allowing internal moisture (like sweat) to escape, keeping the rider comfortable.
Does this jacket come in different materials?
This specific model is a leather jacket. Oxford offers other 'Sterling D2D' jackets in textile materials like wool and polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive while riding
Ensure the jacket is the correct size. Try adjusting the collar and checking if the thermal gilet is causing bulk. The jacket is designed for an upright position; a sportier posture may feel more restrictive.
Water seeping through despite the Dry2Dry membrane
Check that all zippers are fully closed and that there are no obstructions. Inspect seams and collar for damage. Ensure the membrane itself is not compromised.
Vents not providing sufficient airflow
Ensure the vents are fully open and that there are no obstructions within the vent channels. Consider that airflow is dependent on riding speed.
Thermal gilet feels too warm or not warm enough
Adjust the gilet's fit. For warmer conditions, remove the gilet entirely. For colder conditions, ensure it is properly zipped and secured. Layering under the jacket may be necessary.
