I bought the Oxford Rainseal Over Jacket – Bright to replace a different, more premium flare type jacket from a different manufacturer, which had failed.

I have to say that this oxford jacket is much better and really well thought through. I am an all year round commuter, 100 miles/ 3.5 hours a day so need a good waterproof and visible jacket for those dark winter months (if you are reading this, then you may well be a commuter too!).

This fits the bill perfectly – why? :

Visibility : This jacket REALLY shows up at night, and much better than the fluorescent types as those tend to only have small reflective sections. This on the other hand really does the job, which is super important to me commuting in the dark. The nice thing also is that it just looks grey in the day, not too gaudy, so I don’t feel too conspicuous wearing it (at night, I prioritise being seen over fashion – you are defo conspicuous in the dark – that’s a good thing in my book)

Fit : I take a 2XL textile jacket and I bought the 2XL rainsuit – it fits perfectly, so I would agree that you should buy your normal size. Some people say that the arms are a bit baggy – but this is part of its brilliant design. It is easy to put on over your riding jacket (which can be an issue with some) and more importantly, when wearing it, you feel absolutely no restriction on your shoulders / arms (again, can be a problem with some jackets). For comfort and safety, I would much prefer it this way and personally (over a textile jacket) I have experienced no flappyness at all at normal road speeds.

Waterproof : this is really waterproof!! I know you would expect this from a rain jacket, but anyone who has tried a few know that this is not always the case. I have been though some pretty serious downpours for 1.5hr plus and I was surprised and very pleased to find that when I arrived and took it off, my textile jacket underneath was dry. This thing really keeps the water out (including the neck, which has a decent closure), and whilst I suspect it is not particularly breathable, I have not suffered with any sweaty issues wearing this.

Overall, I am really impressed with this jacket and its performance. Certainly for what I need it for it is a great product and great value for money.

Pretty happy with these. Fit is accurate, and they aren't too bulky. Concertina sections in the bum/upper knee areas is a clever touch. Very glad the kneepad height is adjustable. Was way off out of the bag!

I found it very comfortable and it has kept me warm even without the thermal liner attached. Nice healthy collar, high-quality zips, and good waist and hip adjusters. Overall just a well made, clean and good looking jacket.

I purchased this as a replacement to a (cheapish) 1st jacket purchased a few years ago.

This is a really well made product that looks really good, and seems to work really well. Even in some very heavy recent rain she stayed dry.

Particularly like the external shoulder protectors. Look awesome, and are functional.

NOTE ON SIZE: She's 5'6" and normally a 6 in women's clothing. After reading that this came up a bit small she decided to go for a 12, which fits her perfectly, so if you're unsure, err on the big side.

I would prefer the fast release chin strap.

Easy to install, after a wet day without using one and constantly fogging up, it made a big difference!

Very impressed with the whole shad luggage system the quality is superb and fits perfectly

Well since I bought it to replace a crap Halfords one I can say after use every week it has given me consistent pressure accuracy. Given it 4 stars as it is very light plastic and maybe if I dropped or stood on it by accident it would break in a million pieces! So I use it carefully but it is easy to use getting it on and off the valve.
Good delivery service from Sportsbikeshop.
