Merlin HydroShield Laminated Waterproof Over Trousers - Black Well adjusted, and nice look.
Merlin Hydroshield Waterproof Over Jacket - Black Well ajusted on motorcycle jacket and nice look
Merlin Carter S/Layer D3O Ghost Riding Shirt - Green I was sceptical re the breathability due to the thickness of the outer, but it really does work. I rode during the 32° UK summer days and this was fine. Also a bonus that it isnt a heat-soaking black colour. Could also be worn as a casual jacket if down the local pub.
Merlin Neptune 2 WP Textile Jacket - Sage Great jacket, feels nice and snug, seems to be well made with plenty of pockets
Merlin Mason 2 D3O Waterproof Jeans - Blue I must admit I was sceptical about the Water Proof status of these Jeans - how wrong was I.
Just spending a week in Scotland and ridden in lengthy downpours - not a drop got through !!
Highly recommend these.
They feel super-robust and would be far too hot for summer - but for Scottish wet weather they are AMAZING.
Merlin Calton CE2 Leather D3O Gloves - Black Fabulous gloves at a great price and kp2
Merlin Rivington D3O Jeans - Black Although the inseam is a tab long for me (30" - I need ideally 28.5 or 29) I find these very comfortable. Waist was a 30" (I need a 29, but 30's are as small as these go), but a belt cinches them in fine.
