Merlin Kaplan Air Mesh Explorer Gloves - Black It's quite difficult to find a pair of gloves that fit well and don't press into your knuckles or struggle to get the cuffs inside your jacket sleeve but these summer gloves achieve both of these aims
Merlin Remy 2 D3O Cargo Jeans - Black Comfy & casual without compromising protection
Merlin Hydroshield Waterproof Over Jacket - Black Jacket worked well at both giving protection from rain and also from wind chill, when wearing a mesh jacket below. It fits well over a mesh jacket, which had additional back armour fitted, and allowed me to use the mesh jacket - along with the Merlin Jacket - at temperatures where the mesh jacket alone would have become uncomfortably cold.
Merlin Ranton Mixed Gloves - Brown Bought the gloves online because they were 3xl to find that they are on the small side, more like xl. Pity really because they were a good price.
Merlin Taos Air Mesh Stretch Jacket - Black Jacket fits well and gives good ventilation.
Only 1 zip pocket on r/h forearm.
Other pockets secure with velcro which doesn't reach the full length of pocket opening, wouldn't trust anything of value in there.
Still very pleased with purchase.
Very helpful staff in sportsbikeshop as always
Merlin Jagger D3O Urban Utility Jacket - Navy Love that the winter liner is a proper jacket. Great for keeping warm on cold days. It does come up a little larger than other Marlin jackets but that allows me to use it as a waterproof jacket over my Merlin Hixon 2.
Merlin Aero Mesh D3O® Riding Shirt - Dark Grey Works really well as a summer mesh jacket and love the styling. I added a back protector in the pocket, fit with this was still great and comfortable.
