FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, the Oxford Sterling D2D features a fixed Dry2Dry waterproof membrane with a 5,000mm rating, designed to keep you dry in rain. However, like all garments, extreme prolonged exposure or damage to the membrane can affect performance.

How do I clean the Armourlite Pro Wax fabric?

The jacket should be washed on a cold, gentle cycle (30°C or 40°C) using a technical wash detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not tumble dry; hang to air dry. Reapply DWR treatment periodically.

Can I wear this jacket in hot weather?

The jacket includes a ventilation system (chest, arm, rear vents) and a removable thermal gilet. While designed for versatility, it may still be warm in very high temperatures due to its protective features and waterproof membrane. Ensure vents are fully open and remove the thermal gilet.

What protection does this jacket offer?

The jacket is CE AA Certified, meaning it meets high standards for abrasion resistance. It also comes with CE Level 2 certified impact protectors for the shoulders and elbows, and features a pocket for an optional back protector.

Does the jacket come with a back protector?

No, the jacket includes CE Level 2 protectors for the shoulders and elbows. It has a dedicated pocket for an optional back protector, which must be purchased separately.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Adjust the collar, cuff, and waist fasteners for a personalized fit. Measure yourself carefully against the brand's sizing chart before purchasing, paying attention to chest and sleeve length measurements.

What is the purpose of the longer rear length?

The tailored longer rear section provides increased coverage and protection against road spray and wind, particularly beneficial for riders using upright, adventure, or touring style motorcycles.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the jacket

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric; reapply if it beads poorly. Verify the Dry2Dry membrane is intact and not damaged. Clean the jacket according to care instructions to ensure membrane performance.

Jacket feels too hot or too cold

For heat, open the chest, arm, and rear vents fully. For cold, ensure the removable thermal gilet is installed correctly. For extreme cold, consider layering additional thermal base layers.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Use a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers to gently work the mechanism. Clean any debris from the zipper teeth.

Fit is uncomfortable or too tight/loose

Adjust the collar, cuff, and waist fasteners for a better fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider if a different size is needed. Ensure the internal protectors are seated correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High abrasion resistance exceeding CE Class AA standards
  • Waterproof and breathable membrane for all-weather comfort
  • Included CE Level 2 impact protection for key areas
  • Effective ventilation system for temperature regulation
  • Removable thermal liner for year-round versatility
  • Ample storage options for riding essentials

Cons

  • Tailored fit may not suit all body shapes

  • Fixed waterproof membrane means it cannot be removed for maximum airflow in very hot conditions
  • Requires specific care instructions for the Pro Wax fabric and waterproof membrane

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Adjust the press studs at the collar and cuffs for a snug, comfortable fit. Use the hook & loop waist adjusters to fine-tune the jacket's fit around your waist.
  2. Protector Check: Ensure the CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors are correctly positioned within their internal pockets.
  3. Connection Zipper: Utilize the short connection zipper at the rear to attach the jacket to compatible Oxford riding trousers, creating a unified protective suit.
  4. Gilet Installation/Removal: The thermal gilet zips in and out of the main jacket liner. Remove it for warmer weather or install it for added insulation in colder conditions.

Compatibility:

  • Trousers: Designed to connect with most Oxford riding trousers via the short connection zipper. Check specific trouser models for compatibility.
  • Back Protector: Features a pocket for an optional back protector insert (sold separately).

Care:

  • Washing: Close all zippers and fasteners. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle (30°C or 40°C) with a technical wash detergent specifically designed for waterproof and breathable garments. Do NOT use fabric softener or bleach.
  • Drying: Do NOT tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Once dry, a brief tumble on a cool setting with a clean tennis ball can help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  • Re-Waterproofing: For best results, periodically re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outdoor fabrics, following the product's instructions. This helps maintain the jacket's water repellency.
  • Leather Trim: Wipe genuine leather collar edging with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking.
