Oxford Hardy Wax Jacket Review - By popular request here's a review of the textile jacket I have been wearing this season.

Gloves are the last on, and the first off with me, so fastening the collar would not be an issue.

@Vic-ng8if 5 лет назад

Just bought one tonight. Great, well fitting bit of kit. I've a Belstaff from the early 80's as well and I love the thing but I'm always re-coating it. Great that you don't have to do it with this and also have a decent liner. I'm using my old army waterproof under the Belstaff at the moment. Cheers for the vid.

Another great review in the TMF Archive! These have increased in price a little over the last few years, but I've bought one.

@brighton_dude 6 лет назад

I aspire to having a waistline of sufficiently small circumference that I can wear something from the current Belstaff range however if I ever achieve this objective I think I'll have a look at this one as well. However I think the Belstaffs are more to my taste, but only just.

Getting really fond of my Hardy, I put Furygan D30 armour in and an Oxford slim back protector. I've worn it a lot over this winter in my car to sort of wear it in. I thought maybe I should've got a size bigger but it's perfect actually. I've ridden in 1°C and found it warm. Now it's Spring I've taken out the inner liner and opened the zipped vents and it will function very well for Summer riding. I love the look and style, exactly what I wanted. Good pockets. Only shoulder zip vent on one side, t'other is the velcro patch, slightly asynchronous but lovely jacket.

@user-ck6kq8zl2i 3 года назад

I have the same jacket and I tried to put in a back protector into it. And although you can access the inside of the jacket at the back, there was just no way of actually securing the protector in place. It was just loose and not held by anything atall. So really I can only put elbow and shoulder stuff in it. Unless I'm missing something. It is however a nice reasonably lightweight jacket.

@bvalex2112 6 лет назад

Dave Greenslade I would recommend the Merlin Yoxhall- It's a fantastic jacket! Picked mine up at Urban Rider in London.

@turtlepowersf 6 лет назад

Dave Greenslade i was extremely happy with my Merlin Atlow....for about 3 days. First off i noticed it was extremely greasy. There was even grease soaked into the box it was shipped in. It got grease on my hands, my bike seat, and it would probably begin to seep into my jeans so i would wear my cheaper jeans until some of the excess grease wore off. i wasnt able to wipe it off but it was definitely there. then on my second ride out, the button completely popped off the collar, so now i must return it :-( to begin with, the buttons were not very strong and they were very easily unsnapped. im definitely concerned with the quality control at merlin since then, and now im looking to replace it with something else. Likely the triumph/barbour collab jacket or the Oxford Bradwell, but neither have a lot of info online. I really dont want to spend the money on a Belstaff but i cant have a greasy jacket with broken buttons!

How are you getting on with it?

@ianhughesroyalenfield 4 года назад

TheMissendenFlyer absolutely love it. Bought without a test ride as we were in lockdown. Just talking about how much it has impressed me (even at running in speeds) makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck. This is high praise considering I have been riding for over 40 years, and have owned many different bikes. I have fitted a set of Scorpions, which sound awesome in my opinion. I record all my rides on my bikes to share with my wife as she can no longer ride pillion, and upload to my RU-vid channel for any other interested parties to “endure” ha ha. Fantastic bike. The Hardy jacket really suits my Interceptor too, if I am not careful I may be getting trendy lol. Ps, you might want to have a look at my channel, onboard footage of my 1980 Yamaha RD350LC as well !

Nice review TMF and a great looking jacket. It’s great when you can find a jacket that works as well on as it does off the bike which helps when touring to cut down on luggage.

@twogotikitouring6940 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer The thought did actually cross my mind! Just back from the ‘Toy shop’. What an awesome display it truly is. The colours are so rich and crisp and easy to read. FYI I asked about interface with non BMW Comms and apparently early issues are being remedied with software issues as initially it was only designed with the BMW Comms in mind. The best just got better! Poor piggy bank 😂

@Vitaminj1973 4 года назад

Is this the "Olive" colour, or the "black"? I ask because some customer reviews claim that the black is more of a brown color. I would like to get the colour you have there. (Edit) I see someone has already asked this, and that you have answered. I think I may buy this.

I would call it more shower proof - OK in light rain but a deluge requires an over suit of some kind is my thinking (to be fair I've not tried it without an oversuit in a deluge). The jacket is surprisingly warm, I'm still using it and its about 6 degrees C here today....similar thermal properties to a leather jacket with a liner....

Great jacket which I've commented on before in a previous vid (no homo).The biggest appeal to me is that you don't walk into a bar, house party, shopping mall looking like a Power Ranger. It's the kind of jacket that doesn't look out of place, if not actually quite trendy. Unfortunately for me living in Dubai, it's just not practical with the 8 months extreme heat per year. Cheers TMF.

@saddle8bag 6 лет назад

Nice looking jacket. Generally, I find that motorcycle gear is something that appears to be getting done worse and worse as time goes by. The rubber protective bits are fine, but many other considerations seem done poorly from this rider's perspective. I have a Victory leather jacket. I got it because I owned a Vic at the time and they had it in their shop. But I didn't buy it for that reason though. I bought it because it had full length vented zippers front and rear. In the mornings I can throw an electric jacket under it and be toasty. In the afternoon I can keep on going comfortably in the heat by throwing the electric jacket in my tank bag and unzipping the vents. That was a real big deal commuting for work. Finding a jacket so well designed is very difficult. Mine looks like it's been thru war, but I'm not sure I'll ever find another as versatile to replace it. It has the same problem with the wrist snaps as yours, but I either wear gloves with large over gauntlets in the cold or gloves with no gauntlets when it warms up so there's nothing underneath working against me as I try to snap it together. Biggest problem with leather and nekkid bikes are bugs. When textile gets nasty, nothing more than throwing it in a washing machine will bring it back to new. With the leather, I have to get out the saddle soap and remove the sticky little carcasses one at a time...

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yes agreed all round....and I'm like you, once I find some kit that works, I tend to stick with it!

@markpercy4277 Год назад

Hi TMF what is the sizing like did you have to go up a size, l know a lot of motorcycle clothing is a bit on the tight side, i'm a 46" chest, good video by the way

@richardcollins586 6 лет назад

Nice jacket, I like the length and the styling. I only have one motorcycle jacket and that’s my Belstaff wax Crosby. Wax jackets are better quality than they used to be. Oxford look like a good brand, their locks always seem to get a bad rap from the biking community though for being low quality.

@maxflight777 6 лет назад

Richard, agreed. (The Oxford soft luggage, I discovered, leaks) , however you can't criticise all of their products because of this experience. I have an Oxford heated vest with 5 heat settings. Love it to bits !

Thks for the review .... on sizing is it on par with normal or should I go up a notch? .... or get back on my diet!? 😀

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Normal sizing works for me.....

@philbuglass4857 6 лет назад

It isn't listed on their website, or at least not under jackets! Maybe you bought the last one?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Odd - try one of their resellers, you can get it at Sportsbike shop here for example >> www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/330627

Aloha, how do you care for this jacket? Are you able to put it in the wash? Thanks 🤙

@TheMissendenFlyer 11 месяцев назад

Well it's wax covered so not sure about that.....

@CZtinek 11 месяцев назад

Is it windproof without the liner?

@TheMissendenFlyer 11 месяцев назад

Yup

@jx7230 4 года назад

Great jacket review... I just have a few questions. This may be odd but is there ANY leather on the jacket? I try to refrain from purchasing leather & secondly how is this jacket in hot weather without the liner? Thanks mate

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Nope none....

@jx7230 4 года назад

@@TheMissendenFlyer Awesome.. Would you recommend it as a general jacket, as in to someone who doesn't have a motorcycle? Its cheaper than the expensive non motorcycle waxed jackets, and looks just as good from the video.

@marksmith8663 6 лет назад

Hi TMF like the jacket Smart with biking summer jeans . Full lining down the arms ? Is that the street triple comfort seat I noticed How you find it ? I found it a bit harder but doesn't bottom out . Bit less grip tho keep sliding forward more than the stock when wearing text style trousers .

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Hi Mark - Yes full lining down the arms and that is the comfort seat. To be honest I can't tell any difference between it and the "stock" seat...

@palantir135 6 лет назад

Looks great but I doubt it will last more than a few seconds when you fall and slide over the asphalt.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Well it is designed for just that job - not that I'm planning on testing it....

@davidpisciotta1552 6 лет назад

Any updates since you been riding with this jacket these past 8 months? Love your video and really love this style jacket. It should fit perfect for my 79 Triumph Bonnie slowly converting to a cafe. Being in the states Connecticut to be exact our weather has been all over the place this year. From 55 degree mornings to 90 degree afternoon to our present time rain for next 2 weeks! This jacket seems it can handle all this. Thoughts would be appreciated! Thank you

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Still loving it! Great jacket...

@motoray1973 6 лет назад

I believe the jacket size (from the comments) was a medium--what's your height/weight? Have decided to get one but trying to sort M vs. L. I'm 6 ft, 180 lbs., 42 inch chest.

@TheShubbah 2 года назад

is this the "olive" or the "black" colour option, cheers!

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

Olive

@@TheMissendenFlyer thanks!! I was hoping it was, looks fantastic, I can see why you would wear it casually too! sadly wher I found it for £150, two days ago, now is back up to £220! oh well it'll go on sale again I'm sure. thanks again for the reply on a old video, have a great day and weekend! cheers!

@mikestewart7322 6 лет назад

Yeah that is a nice jacket TMF. Seeing the recent Wales tour, my personal opinion, not necessarily shared by others, is you seem a bit under protected for riding the GS. I would never ride my Tiger 800 XCA without the adventure suit and proper touring boots. I have got summer gloves but that’s as far as I would go in compromising protection. I do have a Barbour style leather Triumph jacket and biking jeans, ankle lace up boots and they are very flexible to use but only on the Scrambler. Each to his/ her own and agree the Oxford Hardy is a nice jacket for a reasonable price. Cheers👍🏻🏍

@paulduhig7131 6 лет назад

Mike Stewart I agree, it's a bit of an American saying I believe but it's goes along the lines of all the gear all the time. We all have horror stories but I never ride without a proper back protector even in the 40+ Aussie summer days. Nice jacket TMF but not enough in the way of CE protection for me.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Well I think the level of protection is the same whether I'm falling off a Triumph Bonneville or BMW GS! I agree we all make a choice, for me as long as it's proper motorcycle kit (which this obv is) then I'm happy with the risk....but of course we all make our own choices! Thanks for watching....TMF

@paulduhig7131 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer lets all agree to never to fall off our bikes. Safe riding sir and keep up the good work.

I just took a nasty fall off my BMW G310GS, I could have been on my S1000R or even my Honda CT50, the results to body injury would have been the same....

@subocito 6 лет назад

What size are you wearing, and what is your chest measure? If you don't mind me asking. And is the liner through the arms aswell or just a vest-type?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

I have a medium, no idea on chest size and the liner is arms as well....

@subocito 6 лет назад

Ok, then I'll go with a size Large. Guessing that would be needed for my 190 cm

@milkster1001 6 лет назад

Hi there, really digging this jacket! I'm after something with a vintage/retro style, and this fits the bill. Could you please help with sizing? I understand from the comments this is a Medium you're wearing, are you normally a Medium for clothing, or did you need to go a size up or down? What chest are you? Be good to hear! Cheers

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Actually this is a large - I'm normally a medium but in this case I went large having tried both on at the local dealer....

@milkster1001 6 лет назад

Ah ok, thanks for the swift reply. I'm normally large, have a 42" chest, would you recommend XL? Sadly I don't have a dealer nearby with this jacket in stock, will have to buy online. Pity Oxford don't have a size guide on their site! Great videos by the way, I've subbed!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yeah I'd go one up then....and welcome along!
