Stay dry in the Oxford Hinterland motorcycle trousers: “Without doubt the best value textiles I’ve ever tested” – Bike Social

What is a trilaminate and why does it matter?

Laminate waterproofs used to be reserved for only the wealthiest of motorcyclists as the technology was originally only used by Gore-Tex and the manufacturing process was expensive. Now the same technique is being used by big name manufacturers at a more accessible price point. The outer material layer and waterproof membrane are bonded together. What this means to you is that you stay dry without soaking through the outer layer and the trousers becoming heavy. The trousers are much lighter weight and getting caught out in a down pour no longer means having to put on cold, wet trousers later on in the day. A trilaminate leads to higher abrasion results, stronger seams and a significantly improved waterproof breathability rating.

Why buy the Oxford Hinterland motorbike trousers?

These are the perfect choice for riders who spend hours in the saddle. They will keep you dry no matter what and for warmer rides the improved breathability and direct ventilation will really make a difference. It’s worth noting that out of the box, the Hinterland material will feel stiffer than you’ll be used as a result of the construction but it won’t take long to soften up and after a few rides it will feel just as comfy as your old trousers.
