Textile Jacket
Discussion
Anyone have any recommendations?Bought a DAINESE Tempest D-Dry from Motocard at £179 last month. Been great so far, vents front and back to keep cool and a zip out liner for chillier days. Not been in the rain yet, so cant comment on that. Armour in shoulders and elbow, added chest protector into the pockets today. Got the black 7 fluro to be seen.
Not sure about prices, but what about Lindstroms/Halvarssons? Decent quality when I’ve seen them.
Always been a bit underwhelmed by most Oxford stuff myself, it’s always seems a bit “budget” to me, but I understand the quality is supposed to have improved recently.
If you’re not bothered about branding, have a look on the Triumph outlet site. I got a jacket with elbow, back and shoulder protectors, reduced from £250 to £90. Worth a look to see what is available. I’ve had quite a bit of stuff from there and it’s always seemed decent enough.

I bought an armr Moto kiso jacket from sportsbikeshop.co.uk, not sure if it's the same site you're looking at? Been pretty impressed by it, not a single leak so far. Came with a free pair of textile trousers which are also leak free. Only had them since January so no Idea how long they'll last but for just over 100 quid they're good. Reviews were mostly positive.
Only Oxford jacket I've ever bought was slightly less waterproof than a string vest.

Yep..same site, I've used them before and they were great. I saw that jacket and seems a good deal!Only Oxford jacket I've ever bought was slightly less waterproof than a string vest.
Triumph outlet don't have anything in my size (M)
Trouble is I've had my Shoei for so long and worn it a lot, so everything I try just feels weird.
There are so many choices. If you can I'd recommend a ride out to sportsbike's shop, they have so many options and they will gladly get as many out for you to try at the same time as you want.
If you can get one with an outlast liner then that will help with temperature regulation. I've got a halvarsons Prime jacket that is brilliant but it should be for the £475 that it cost.
