FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Oxford Spartan Air Textile Jacket is primarily constructed from mesh and polyester and is not designed to be waterproof. It offers breathability for warmer weather but limited protection against rain.
What level of protection do the included protectors offer?
The jacket comes with CE Level 1 rated elbow and shoulder protectors. This means they meet specific impact absorption standards, with the maximum transmitted force below 18 kN and no single value exceeding 24 kN.
How do I clean the jacket?
It is recommended to hand wash the jacket using a mild detergent and cold water. Do not use bleach. Always hang dry and avoid tumble drying or dry cleaning.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is best suited for warmer weather due to its mesh construction. For cold weather riding, you would need to wear significant thermal layers underneath, or consider a different jacket designed for colder conditions.
Are the protectors removable?
Yes, the CE Level 1 elbow and shoulder protectors are removable, allowing for easier cleaning of the jacket and the option to replace them if desired.
What does 'entry level' mean for this jacket?
'Entry level' suggests this jacket is designed for basic needs and affordability, offering fundamental safety features and comfort suitable for everyday commuting, rather than advanced technical features or high-performance specifications.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is primarily made of polyester mesh, with polyester fabric used in its construction. It features reflective details for enhanced visibility.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight or loose in certain areas.
Utilize the adjustable waist, cuff, and collar straps to customize the fit. Ensure protectors are correctly positioned and do not shift during wear.
Reflective details appear faded or damaged.
Avoid harsh detergents or high-temperature washing/drying, which can damage reflective materials. Inspect for wear and consider patch repair if necessary, though functionality may be compromised.
Protectors feel uncomfortable or are not staying in place.
Ensure you have selected the correct size jacket. Readjust the protector pockets and straps. For persistent issues, consider aftermarket protectors if compatible, though this may affect safety certifications.
Mesh material feels inadequate for very hot weather.
While designed for breathability, extreme heat may still be challenging. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath to improve comfort. This jacket is best suited for moderate temperatures.
