FAQs

What makes the Armourlite Pro Wax fabric different from traditional waxed cotton?

Armourlite Pro Wax fabric is engineered to provide twice the abrasion resistance of traditional waxed cotton while being significantly easier to maintain. It offers a similar classic look without the need for regular waxing or special care.

How waterproof is the Dry2Dry membrane?

The Dry2Dry membrane has a waterproof rating of 5,000mm, meaning it can withstand considerable water pressure before leaking. It also offers breathability with a rating of 5,000g/m²/24hrs, helping to manage internal moisture.

Are the CE Level 2 protectors included?

Yes, the jacket comes equipped with CE Level 2 certified impact protectors for the shoulders and elbows.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket includes a removable thermal gilet, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal base layers is recommended.

What type of riding is this jacket best suited for?

The jacket is tailored for upright riding positions, making it ideal for standard, touring, and adventure motorcycles. Its features provide comfort and protection for commuting and longer journeys.

How do I clean the Oxford Sterling D2D jacket?

The jacket should be hand-washed only using mild soap and lukewarm water. Always remove the CE protectors before washing and allow the jacket to air dry completely.

Is the waterproof membrane removable?

No, the Dry2Dry waterproof membrane is a fixed liner integrated into the jacket construction.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite Dry2Dry membrane

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check if the Dry2Dry membrane requires reproofing; apply a suitable fabric re-proofer following the product instructions. Inspect seams for any damage.

Ventilation zippers are stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers. Operate the zippers gently to avoid damage.

Removable thermal gilet does not fit correctly

Ensure the gilet is being attached using the correct internal attachment points and that it is fully zipped and secured. Verify you have the correct gilet for the jacket model.

CE protectors feel uncomfortable or are misaligned

Remove the protectors and re-insert them, ensuring they are seated correctly within their designated pockets. Adjust the position for optimal coverage and comfort. Ensure the jacket is the correct size for your body.

Jacket feels too warm even with vents open

Remove the thermal gilet if installed. Consider riding gear worn underneath; a lighter base layer may improve airflow. The jacket's primary function includes warmth and waterproofing, which can limit extreme heat dissipation.
