Thanks Brian, the ones in the tunnels are sneaky. I think I dodged them, not sure on Robbie 😂

@moto_thread Haha, yes, sorry I should have warned you about that one, especially. It's had me a few times even though I know it's there.

Hi @FernandoBea, in their 3rd year of ownership and stands are still in good shape and doing the job. No sign of rust, wheels still solid (no center wear). Would still recommend these as an affordable option.

Great, thanks a lot!

Do you need spools for the front forks or do the just grip the bottom of the forks?

Hi @22Beefman, yes with the zips opened you can, probably best to keep open to when that cursed shower arrives, not end up fiddling with unzipping first. I've had to pull over on a road trip and throw these on in a down pour. I found them quick to get into, the zip opens near up the knees so gives plenty room to go over a Dainese race boots or the likes.

thanks @furkann9536 for the question. For a 7 day trip with the bare essentials, from my own experience definitely! Once it is expanded and with the 4 pockets it carries all I've need. A buddy of mine also has one of these and has done 7-8 day trips around Europe. If you are worrying that you might be limited on space go for the 40 litre, it is a bit bigger but I doubt you will notice it all that much. Hoping this helps and wishing you a safe trip!

@@moto_thread thanks for the elaborate response! Yes I also had the feeling that it probably would be enough, but now that I know your buddy made it with 7-8 days I am all set! The 40 liter version had to be fastened with lashing straps once expanded.. so that was a deal breaker. I opted for the 30 liter and can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your review, it definitely helped!

No problem!!

Thanks for the comment, I'd happily be an Oxford reviewer 😁

Bag is still holding good with no wear and tear issues on the zips. On discoloration, the bag continues to keep its color, the base piece that the bag zips too has gone a bit purple around the zip area but you cannot see that when mounted, only when not connected. Overall is standing the test of time.

Glad it was helpful!

@fredmeyer3063 the jacket has only one pocket. Its a chest pocket on the left side. It will hold a standard size phone. I'm not sure it would fit XL size phone. Thanks for asking.

Hi @presentmnd weight 63kg and chest 37

@@moto_thread thank you sir

Glad it helped

Hi Fergus, I don't have experience with the rst jacket with the hump and would say best to go a size up unless you are ok with it been very snug. For reference I wear an alpinestar airbag vest under my dainese leather jacket(jacket has no hump) with the Oxford jacket over the top. The airbag has a hunch due to the integrated back protector and the jacket is pulled more backwards from the chest to lower neck(hope that makes sense). It probably not as pronounced as the rst hump that said. The fit is very snug, though the Oxford jacket has some adjustments around the wait and cuffs to help keep it neat. Hope this helps.

@@moto_thread thank you. Keep that in mind 👍👌

This jacket is good for a light rain, but in downpour as it was the case last year in Germany, you will be soaking wet. It is far from waterproof.

Thanks for the comment and glad the jacket doing its job

Glad I could help!

Thanks Robert, indeed a fair question. I was riding in france in September and had to endure a couple of downpours, these over trousers kept me dry as a bone. Money well spent in my mind and would recommend.

@@moto_thread I'm baffled cos I have them over a pair of tracksuits n I get soacked round my groin area underneath the bum where u sit on a moped. Like am I missing something cos they're not very waterproof at all. Do they need to worn over another pair of proper motorcycle thermal trousers or what?

@Kevin Conroy, I wear mine over my jeans and have not had any issues so far. It could be that the over trousers are acting as thermal insulator and causing heat build up and sweating in that area, since you do not mention other areas such as leg getting wet. Thermals wicking under layer might help to wick away the heat. You could try with jeans although it sounds like heat build up would still happen, if you are sitting for a good commute. The wicking under layer might do the trick. Unless there is evidence of water getting in around seam area on your trousers (could check that), which would be a defect and recommend exchanging in that case. Above are only from my experience but hope this helps.

@@moto_thread I dunno but the trousers to me are shit tbh. I had water down to my boxers, its not perspiration either cos I get that n it's not as severely drenched

@@kevinconroy3259 sorry to hear you have a bad experience with them, for me they have worked without issue. Recommend you go back to shop you purchased and request a refund if they not working as expected. I wish you the best with it.

Thanks @bleary View for the watch and I appreciate the advice on stabilisation I will definitely give that a try in the future

Thanks Des

Yes, a great idea as a wind breaker on those cooler days as opposed to layering up more.

That's exactly why i ordered mine for 😂

Thanks for watching

Bordeaux, France

Thanks Paul for the watch, hopefully the sun will shine and these will be a solid backup just in case. 😎

Yep agree for visibility in the rain the brighter the better

Check always for laminated, so the outside will be water repeller for at list 2 hour !

Hi @Laughing Dog, the fit of these trousers is on the baggy/loose side so there is some give/freedom/movement in them for when you get into a sitting or tucked position on the bike. In my experience riding out with these over the last few weeks, so far they do not move that much or noticeably to require pulling and dragging at them mid-journey. Hope this helps.

Thank you
