Merlin Clothing

These gloves were on sale and I needed a pair for the Winter, so gave these a go. They feel great, look good and keep your hands warm, but I had 1 major issue where the Outlast lining would come out of the fingers and it was super difficult to get the ring and pinky fingers back into the gloves. This happened at the test centre on my module 1 training day and I had to ride with my pinky finger only half way into the glove...not good at all. If you take extra care to ease the gloves off then this problem is less of an issue, but still not perfect. Note - I bought 2 pairs of these 1 black and 1 brown and both had the same issue unfortunately. I like Merlin gear but would think twice about buying these again.

These are decent gloves and as I bought them on sale, they were a bargain. They are pretty supple straight out of the bag and the only slight issue I noticed is with the seams on the fingers which are slightly raised and and a little uncomfortable initially. I am sure this will improve with more use, once they a broken in. Overall these are nice gloves.

Had a few leather jackets over the years,but this one is by far the best I’ve ever owned. Quality throughout lovely soft leather and seems to get more comfortable the more you wear it.

Pros in that it is very comfortable, warm and hasn’t let water through once. It fits well and feels solid with the armour.
Cons are that it is very heavy will all the layers and armour in. I’ve found that the stitching on the neck cover came away and the velcro on the left cuff came off within a couple of weeks of use. Not what i’d expect from Merlin and at that price point.
