Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Omega 1.0 D2D Textile Motorcycle Jacket is designed for adult male riders seeking a durable, all-weather textile jacket. Its key benefit is comprehensive protection and comfort across varied conditions, thanks to its waterproof membrane, CE Level 2 armor, and adaptable thermal liner. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it is a textile jacket and may not offer the same level of abrasion resistance as specialized race suits for extreme track use. This jacket features a high-density polyester outer shell, seam-sealed Dry2Dry waterproof and breathable membrane, CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors, external TPU shoulder sliders, ventilation zippers, a detachable thermal gilet, and multiple pant connection options, all contributing to its Protection Class AA certification.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Dry2Dry membrane?

The Dry2Dry membrane provides both waterproof protection against external rain and breathability, allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.

Are the shoulder and elbow protectors removable?

Yes, the CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors are removable, allowing for easier cleaning of the jacket and for using the jacket in non-protective casual wear if desired.

How does the detachable thermal gilet improve comfort?

The gilet provides an extra layer of insulation for warmth in colder temperatures. It can be easily removed when not needed, making the jacket suitable for a wider range of seasonal riding conditions.

What does CE AA certification mean for this jacket?

CE AA certification (EN 17092-3:2020) means the jacket has met recognized European standards for abrasion resistance and impact protection, classifying it as protective apparel suitable for motorcycle use.

Can I connect this jacket to any riding trousers?

The jacket features three connection options: a full zip, a short zip, and belt loops for jeans. This compatibility allows it to connect securely with most Oxford riding trousers and many other brands.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Hand wash only in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Ensure protectors are removed before washing and allow the jacket to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What are the TPU shoulder sliders for?

The external TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) shoulder sliders are made of abrasion-resistant material. They help reduce friction and protect the shoulder area during a slide, potentially preventing the jacket from catching and helping the rider slide more smoothly.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the Dry2Dry membrane is clean and free from debris. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical fabrics. Check seam seals for damage.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the teeth.

Fit feels too loose or restrictive

Adjust the elastic waist straps and accordion stretch panels for a more secure or comfortable fit. Ensure the thermal gilet is correctly installed or removed as per the desired fit.

Protectors feel uncomfortable or shift during riding

Ensure protectors are correctly inserted into their designated pockets and aligned with your shoulder and elbow joints. Some minor adjustment with riding posture may help them settle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket comes ready to wear. The primary setup involves adjusting the fit using the elasticated waist and accordion stretch panels at the hem for optimal comfort and a streamlined profile. The detachable thermal gilet can be easily zipped in or out as needed. Ensure any internal pockets are clear before wearing.

Compatibility: The Oxford Omega 1.0 D2D jacket offers three pant connection methods: a full circumference zipper, a short zipper, and belt loops designed for use with jeans. This ensures it can be securely attached to a wide variety of motorcycle trousers, from textile riding pants to casual riding jeans, providing a unified protective layer.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash only using cold water and mild detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Hang dry away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  • Cleaning Protectors: Remove CE protectors before washing. Clean protectors with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for technical textiles to maintain the membrane's performance, following the product's specific instructions.
