FAQs

What level of protection does the jacket offer?

The jacket is Protection Class A Certified (EN 17092-4:2020) and includes certified Level 1 shoulder and elbow protectors (EN 1621-1:2012).

Is the thermal liner removable?

No, the thermal insulation liner is fixed within the jacket and is not designed for removal.

Can I add a back protector?

Yes, the jacket has a dedicated pocket for a back protector, which must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the jacket?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing. Air dry completely.

Is this jacket suitable for all seasons?

It is best suited for 3-season use (spring, autumn, mild winter). The fixed thermal liner may be too warm for hot summer riding.

What material is the jacket made from?

The outer shell is constructed from durable 600 denier polyester.

How do I connect the jacket to riding pants?

Use the YKK short connecting zip on the jacket and align it with the corresponding zip on your compatible riding pants.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the taped seams are intact. For persistent leaks, consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fit is too loose or too tight

Utilize the hook and loop adjusters at the waist, cuffs, and collar, as well as the snap adjusters on the upper arms, to achieve the desired fit.

Reflective details are peeling

Avoid harsh cleaning methods. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to re-adhere; inspect for further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Oxford Spartan jacket is ready to wear out of the box. Ensure all zippers are functioning correctly and adjust the waist, cuffs, collar, and upper arms using the hook and loop fasteners and snaps for a comfortable, secure fit. If you have compatible Oxford riding pants, you can attach them using the YKK short connecting zip by aligning the zipper on the jacket with the corresponding zipper on the pants and securing them together. The jacket comes with CE Level 1 shoulder and elbow protectors pre-installed; a pocket is available for an optional back protector (sold separately).

  • Back Protector: Compatible with most standard CE back protectors designed for motorcycle jackets, fitting into the internal back protector pocket.
