Well designed kit

23 October 2024 by Charlie

It's clear that a bit of thought has gone into designing this. Apart from the extra panels where you need them, I love the trippy elasticated strip at the base of the back which helps the jacket riding up but also makes sure no pesky draughts trouble you. The thumb holds in the sleeves can be used if you want - I've had no issues putting gloves over them - but equally you can wear it without using them and it isn't an issue. I'm a bit dubious as to where they got the interior fleece material - it reminds me of some rather dodgy 70's sofa fabric - but it works, and it's on the inside anyhow. I also had to go a size up, but the cut is great. Does it work? Almost too well! Be careful not to layer up too much unless it's really cold.

Does the job as a base layer

Does what I wanted, keeps the wind off chest and shoulders (with leather jacket). Probably will need an extra layer for winter but this jacket is a big improvement over a hoody base layer only

Value windstopper

Tried a few more expensive alternative for fit etc. This felt better fitting & substantial, nice fleece lining. Worn under Gore jacket that is very bearable at 10C - no drafts. Not the smallest for packing, but effective as middle layer or use when off the bike.

Great mid-layer

28 August 2024 by Damien M

Bought as a mid layer garment because what came with my jacket was useless. This Oxford garment is great. I'm 6ft 4 and struggle to get clothing that fits in arm and body length, but this fits great. Nice close fit, keeps you warm and it works well when off the bike as a casual top/jacket.

Looking forward to using it

Not used yet as weather has been warm. Jacket seems well made and think it will be warm. It is quite a trim fit over the stomach but is stretchy so comfortable.

An item I didn't know I needed

What a brilliant piece of kit this is. Amazingly soft and comfortable and just perfect to slip on under any outer jacket to keep you feeling warm and comfortable.
So good to wear I've taken to wearing it off the bike on its own.
And the price is a steal.

Warm & comfortable midlayer

10 May 2024 by Mike

Great mid-layer so warm and comfortable that I have taken to using it off the bike. Sizing was spot on. I am a larger gentleman and the 2XL was spot on as expected. Great value as usual from Oxford and great service as always from sportsbikeshop

MS Jacket - Black

The material is excellent, however, the sizing left a lot to be desire i had to get three size bigger to get one that fix. it's lighter and will be perfect for spring and autumn wear.

Comfy mid layer

23 December 2023 by Doug F

I got this and the other Oxford mid layer to see what difference there would be. This is lighter, more fitting and comfortable due to this. I'm 6ft approx average build and fit the XL. A more portly me would not have the same comfort.
It's light enough to forget your wearing it. I've worn it a couple of times not using the bike just coz.
I've never been a fan of thumbholes in my clothing but with bikewear and gloves it all makes perfect sense and I don't notice it.
The lower back panel is a mesh type and the front air hitting panels on arms and chest are all shaped accordingly. There is grip tape inside the waist to prevent slip which works well so far.
For the price I paid, I'm happy with the quality and it's effectiveness. I would recommend to anyone looking for a more budget friendly garment.
It's worked well under my laminated Oxford jacket so far.

Great piece of kit

I got this after trying one on at motorcycle live. I've been riding just over 2 years with only a thermal liner and god the difference! This is so much warmer even in the freezing temperatures we've been having recently. The thumb holes are also great at keeping your hands warm. Excellent customer service from SBS as usual too.

Pleased

As per other reviews it is a snug fit but I wanted that under my textile outer. Its warm and comfortable. A great buy at the sale price. Maybe a tad expensive at full price but I'm pleased. Lots of pockets and will double as a leisure jacket on tour.

2 jackets for the price of 1

Very neat fitting, I'm usually an L but had to go XL on this. Hardly knew I had it on under my jacket no need for layers anymore just a T shirt and this. Main thing is I've started wearing it as a normal jacket out walking the dogs. Well made. Definite a must have item 10/10 Oxford

Really nice comfy warm jacket

17 October 2023 by Chris J

This is a really comfortable soft jacket. The front of the jacket, front of the sleeves, and top half of the back have a layer of synthetic insulation with a furry fleecy lining. The rest of the jacket is a powerstretch type of fabric. It's a really light, soft, flexible jacket and not at all bulky like a puffer jacket, (although to be fair it's not as warm as a more puffy jacket either). It's warmer than it's thickness and weight would suggest though.
Size wise, I got the same size as my normal bike jacket size and it's a snug comfortable fit with a base layer and thin zip neck fleece under it. The sleeves are nice and long, so they don't ride up. There's also rubber grippy stuff on the waist which stops that riding up too.
Overall a nice jacket and I'm glad I bought it.

Does what it says on the tin

28 March 2023 by Derek

I bought this after reading a positive review in Ride Magazine - and I agree with the findings of their review. First ride out I was TOO warm but after adjusting my other layers found the right combination to make it just right. I now only need two layers under my jacket instead of three (on a cold winters days) so now much less bulky. 2 year warranty gives confidence it will last.
