Product Details

The Oxford Original Approved AA Men's Cargo Motorcycle Trousers in Black combine military-inspired workwear styling with the protection required for riding. Their single-layer ArmourliteĀ® twill blends cotton with abrasion-resistant polyamide and stretch, giving a softer everyday feel without a bulky secondary lining. This listing is specifically for the Black colourway.

They suit commuters, urban riders and anyone who wants practical motorcycle trousers that do not look overly technical off the bike. A tapered cut, stretch in the fabric and a pleat at each knee help keep the fit contemporary while allowing useful movement in the riding position.

Protection and key benefits

  • CE AA certified motorcycle trousers
  • CE Level 2 knee protectors and CE Level 1 hip protectors included as standard
  • Reinforced impact-abrasion zones
  • Internal overlock stitching at critical seams for improved seam strength
  • Single-layer ArmourliteĀ® twill construction for a lighter, less bulky feel
  • Naturally breathable, moisture-wicking outer fabric
  • Rainseal durable water-repellent finish helps water bead and disperse from the outer shell
  • Jersey protector pockets for comfort against the skin

Please note: the Rainseal finish is water repellent, but these are not described by Oxford as fully waterproof motorcycle trousers.

Construction, fit and storage

Oxford's Original Approved Cargo trousers stay true to their military workwear roots. The ArmourliteĀ® twill is interwoven with cotton for a soft hand feel, while stretch characteristics and knee expansion pleats support freedom of movement. Large box pockets at the upper leg expand when filled and sit flatter when empty. Webbing tabs make the pocket flaps easier to find and open while wearing gloves.

  • Outer shell: 57% cotton, 40% polyamide and 3% spandex
  • Protector pockets: 100% nylon
  • Tapered fit
  • Rivet-reinforced side pockets and twin-needle reinforced side seams
  • Bar-tack reinforced belt loops
  • YKK fly zip
  • Press-stud closures on cargo and rear pocket flaps
  • Two expandable cargo pockets, two front pockets, one coin pocket and two rear welt pockets
  • Brushed matt-metal waist button and front-pocket rivets
  • Oxford Original Approved branding details

Oxford size and fit guide

Choose the number that matches your usual waist measurement in inches. Waist sizes 30 to 42 are listed, with Short and Regular leg options depending on the selected waist size and current availability. Short is a 30-inch leg and Regular is a 32-inch leg. The tapered cut is designed to provide a neater silhouette than a straight-leg cargo trouser, so allow for the clothing you normally wear underneath and make sure the knee armour sits centrally over the kneecap when seated on the bike.

For help checking waist fit, leg length and armour position, visit Moto Central for an in-store fitting. Variant availability is shown in the size selector on this page.

Product questions

Are these Oxford cargo trousers waterproof?

No. Oxford applies a Rainseal DWR finish that encourages water to bead and disperse, but the trousers do not have a waterproof membrane and should not be treated as fully waterproof riding gear.

Is the knee and hip armour included?

Yes. Oxford supplies CE Level 2 knee protectors and CE Level 1 hip protectors as standard.

Are these lined motorcycle trousers?

They use a single-layer ArmourliteĀ® construction rather than a separate full abrasion lining. Jersey protector pockets are used for comfort around the armour.

Is this a men's or unisex fit?

Oxford describes this model as a men's tapered-fit cargo trouser. Use the waist and leg options on this listing rather than a generic S to 5XL clothing conversion.

Good Quality trousers from Oxford

Cargo trousers arrived quickly and appear to be typically well made by Oxford. I haven't ridden in them yet so time will tell but impressed and would certainly order from Moto Central again. Thank you

I'm very happy with my trousers. They fit perfectly. Also, they arrived in good time.

Armour too bulky for width of legs.

I really liked these... until I put in the knee armour. It is so thick that the pants pull tight at the back of the knee and are REALLY uncomfortable.

Oxford is saying I can only use their armour in their pants and to return them. Which I'd prefer not to do.

Even if I sized up and had the pants far too loose I still don't think the legs would have enough space. I am no rugby player either.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the detailed feedback - and glad to hear you liked the trousers overall.

Knee armour can definitely change the fit more than people expect, especially with AA-rated garments where the armour tends to be thicker and more protective. That added bulk can create exactly the kind of tightness behind the knee you’ve described, particularly depending on leg shape and riding position.

Oxford do recommend their own armour for compliance and fit, but we completely understand your hesitation if it’s affecting comfort. In some cases, a slightly different armour shape or a more flexible profile can make a noticeable difference, even within the same size.

If you’d like, feel free to get in touch with us - we’d be happy to talk through a few options or alternatives that might give you a better balance between comfort and protection.

Thanks again for sharing your experience.

– Jamie
