Is the Oxford Heist jacket waterproof?

No. The Armourlite shell has a durable water-repellent finish that handles light moisture, but Oxford does not rate the Heist as waterproof. For steady rain you need a waterproof over-jacket or a dedicated rain layer.

Does it come with a back protector?

No. Shoulder and elbow protectors are CE Level 2 and included. The back protector pocket is built in, but the back protector itself is sold separately.

What safety rating does it have?

It is CE certified to EN 17092-2:2020 at class AAA, the highest garment class. The shoulder and elbow armour is CE Level 2 to EN 1621-1:2012.

How does it compare with a technical textile riding jacket?

The Heist is a single-layer cotton-twill jacket, so it is lighter and looks like normal clothing, but it lacks the waterproof membranes and thermal liners of technical touring jackets. It is a fair-weather and urban choice rather than an all-season one.

Can I connect it to riding jeans?

Yes. Belt attachment loops let you zip or loop it to compatible riding jeans to keep the jacket from riding up in a slide.

What is the shell made of?

The outer is 13.5 oz Armourlite stretch cotton twill: 57% cotton, 40% polyamide and 3% elastane. The lining is 100% checked cotton.
