Imagine you're blasting down the motorway on a scorcher of a day. The tarmac's shimmering like a mirage, the air feels like a hot flannel, and you're pretty sure you could fry an egg on your backside. Not exactly ideal riding conditions, is it? But fear not, intrepid biker! Oxford's Arizona 1.0 MS Air Pants in Black are here to be your knight in shining... well, mesh armour! These trousers are a game-changer for battling the summer heat. They're basically breathable bliss, designed to ditch any material that dares to block a refreshing breeze. Every ride will feel like a gentle caress from a giant aircon unit.
Now, you might be thinking "all that airflow sounds a bit flimsy", but hold your horses. Oxford haven't skimped on safety here. These bad boys are built with a tough, high-density polyester outer shell (they call it HD-Poly, sounds impressive right?) that can shrug off a knock or two. So you can enjoy the breeze without worrying about feeling like a human pincushion.
And because safety shouldn't go on holiday when the temperatures soar, the Arizona 1.0 MS Air Pants come with CE-approved level 1 knee protectors. There's even space for hip protectors if you fancy some extra padding (always a good idea). Basically, you'll be protected without feeling weighed down.
Speaking of comfort, these trousers are all about keeping you cool and happy on the road. The large mesh panels are like highways for air, letting it circulate freely and keep your legs feeling fresh. Plus, there's a handy rear stretch panel that gives you a bit of wiggle room without compromising the fit.
Oxford haven't forgotten the finer details either. The trousers come with detachable braces for a secure, comfy fit, no matter how many miles you clock up. There are even adjustable cuffs and waist straps so you can dial in the perfect fit, and easy-access side pockets to stash your essentials.
Let's not forget about night rides! Reflective detailing all around means you'll be visible to other road users, even after dark. No need to disappear into the night like a phantom biker.
