Just bought an Ixon Titanium VX jacket (textile). I hardly ever see Ixon jackets and trousers come back faulty through our returns area, and I like the look of a lot of their current range, so I thought I'd give it a go (helps that I got about £80 off full RRP!). First impression riding to work today is that it's very comfortable and fits me very well, curiously both with or without the thermal liner. The liner itself has a very nice silky feel to it and is very easy to fit and remove. It has 2 zip air vents at front and one in the rear, but too early to tell how effective they are. It's a fairly short jacket, but not ridiculously so, and has a short zip to attach to trousers at the rear. I'll see about attaching a photo shortly. I hope it's more waterproof than the Oxford jacket it's replacing!
