Oxford Rainseal All Weather Over Trousers - Review

[@truthseeker104]

Thanks for the review. Must admit I tend to wear overtrousers in cooler weather even when it isn't raining as they help to keep heat in, quite considerably!

[@moto_thread]

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

[@JohnDoe-ch6qy]

That's exactly why i ordered mine for 😂

[@snagbrock]

Thanks for your review it was great, nicely put together, as a result I'm buying a pair.. 😊

Glad it was helpful!

Good review, on both the jacket and bottoms. Just ordered both from Sportsbike shop for £43.36 inc delivery. Will be throwing these in the top box of africa twin & hoping they will fit beneath cowl on Street triple RS.

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

Can you get them on over your boots? If it starts raining part way through your ride, this would be an important consideration.

[@moto_thread]

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.

do they ride up when you sit on the bike tho

[@moto_thread]

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.

But are they waterproof?

[@moto_thread]

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.

[@kevinconroy3259]

@@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?

[@moto_thread]

@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

[@moto_thread]

@@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.
