FAQs
What is the primary material of the Oxford Sterling D2D Jacket?
The jacket is constructed primarily from Armourlite Pro Wax fabric, known for its abrasion resistance and durability.
Are the included protectors removable?
Yes, the CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors are located in internal pockets and can be removed for cleaning or replacement.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, it includes a removable thermal gilet that provides extra insulation for colder conditions.
Is the jacket suitable for all riding positions?
The jacket is designed with a tailored longer length rear and cut for upright riding positions. It may feel less optimal for very aggressive, leaned-forward riding styles.
How do I maintain the waterproof quality of the jacket?
Regularly re-waxing the exterior fabric is recommended to maintain its water repellency. Follow the specific instructions for re-waxing products suitable for this material.
What is the breathability rating of the Dry2Dry membrane?
The Dry2Dry membrane offers good breathability, designed to help manage moisture during rides, though extreme heat may still present a challenge.
Where are the CE Level 2 protectors located?
The CE Level 2 protectors are located at the shoulders and elbows.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
This can happen with waxed fabrics. Ensure the jacket is completely dry and consider a light re-waxing application as per care instructions to restore suppleness.
Water seeping through seams
Check if the Dry2Dry membrane's taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, contact customer support. Ensure all external zippers are fully closed.
Ventilation seems inadequate
Ensure all ventilation zippers are fully open and that there are no blockages inside the vents from clothing or debris. The effectiveness can vary based on external temperature and riding speed.
Removable gilet zipper is difficult to use
Gently try to align the zipper teeth. If it persists, a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant on the zipper teeth can help. Avoid forcing the zipper.
