Product Information
Full details
The Oxford Metro 2.0 Textile Trouser is designed for adult male riders seeking year-round protection and comfort. Its key benefit is the versatile functionality, offering waterproof and thermal liners to adapt to various weather conditions, from wet commutes to cooler on-road adventures. A potential consideration is that hip armor is sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for full protection.

FAQs
Are hip protectors included with the Metro 2.0 trousers?
No, hip protectors are not included and must be purchased separately. The trousers are equipped with pockets to accommodate them.
Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?
While the trousers can be worn in warmer weather by removing the thermal liner, they feature a fixed waterproof membrane which may reduce breathability. They are best suited for mild to cool conditions or as protection against rain.
How do I clean the trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and dry cleaning. Hang to dry.
What is the safety certification for these trousers?
The Metro 2.0 trousers are certified as Protection Class A according to EN 17092-4:2020. They also come with Level 1 knee protectors certified to EN 1621-1:2012.
What material are the trousers made from?
The outer shell is constructed from HD-POLY (high-density 600 denier polyester) with durable ripstop fabric reinforcing the knee areas.
How do I attach these trousers to an Oxford jacket?
The trousers feature a YKK short connecting zip. Ensure your Oxford jacket has a compatible zip for attachment.
Can I adjust the fit of the trousers?
Yes, the trousers feature elasticated hook and loop adjustments at the waist and hook and loop adjustment at the cuffs for a customizable fit.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite waterproof liner
Ensure all zips are fully closed and the main fly closure is secure. Check that the waterproof membrane seams are intact and not damaged. For severe issues, consider re-waterproofing treatments or professional inspection.
Thermal liner not fitting correctly
Verify that the liner is fully detached or attached using all designated internal connection points. Ensure no part of the liner is caught in the main trouser zipper.
Knee protector shifting during wear
Adjust the hook and loop straps within the knee protector pocket to secure it more firmly around your knee. Ensure the pocket itself is correctly sized for the protector.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to ease its movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
