FAQs

How do I determine the right size?

The Oxford Rainseal Oversuit is designed to be worn over your existing motorcycle clothing. Consult the brand's sizing chart and measure yourself over your typical riding jacket and trousers. It is often recommended to purchase a size larger than your normal clothing size to ensure a comfortable fit.

Is this oversuit suitable for cold weather?

The oversuit provides a waterproof outer layer which can add a slight windchill barrier. However, it features a half mesh lining and is not insulated. For cold weather, you will need to wear appropriate thermal layers underneath your riding gear.

Can I wear this over leathers?

Yes, the oversuit is designed to fit over most riding gear, including textile jackets and trousers, and typically one-piece or two-piece leather suits. Ensure you select a size that accommodates the bulk of your leather riding suit.

How do I maintain the waterproof properties?

After cleaning, it's recommended to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment to the outer fabric periodically. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment for best results.

What is the material of the oversuit?

The specific material can vary slightly between variants, but commonly it is constructed from durable Nylon or Polyester, chosen for its waterproof and abrasion-resistant qualities.

How does the waistpack feature work?

The oversuit has an integrated pouch, usually in the lower back or leg area, into which the entire garment can be folded and zipped for compact storage. This makes it easy to carry when not needed.

Are there other color options available?

While the primary color is Black, some variants may be available in other high-visibility colors such as Fluo Yellow, often combined with Black.

Troubleshooting

Oversuit feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size that allows for layering over your riding gear. Adjust the fit using the waist, cuff, and hem adjusters.

Water is leaking through seams.

Check if the seams are fully taped. If the tape appears damaged or is peeling, the waterproofing may be compromised. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment for the affected areas or replace the garment if damage is significant.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to ensure smooth operation.

Oversuit is not packable into the waistpack.

Ensure all air is squeezed out of the fabric and fold the oversuit as compactly as possible before attempting to fit it into the integrated waistpack.
