Merlin Clothing

I've had these gloves for couple of months, riding in temperatures down to around 3C. These gloves keep my hands and fingers warm, though on some occasions I was using handguards as well. Above about 8C they seem fine without the heat on. I've only used the max heat once on the coldest day (3C) and it stopped my fingers from freezing. Otherwise, seem fine with low or medium heat and I've used these without handguards at temps of 5 -6C with no issues with these heat settings. Batteries are easy to insert/remove and on the medium to low settings look as if they will last up to around 4 hours, maybe a bit more on the lowest. If I was going to ride really long distance I'd buy another set of batteries to keep going longer. Quality and fit seem fine for me, the fastenings are secure and stay that way whilst riding. Can't comment on wet weather performance as I haven't yet used them in any serious rain.

I bought this jacket because of the built in controller. Only had it on once and it became apparent that I couldn't control it through my outer jacket with gloves on and very hard to control without gloves. So back to Sportsbikeshop who were great and got it swapped for some thing with an outside controller!!! Pity really because it felt and fit really well.

Fits Merlin jacket exactly, and why would you not want this extra protection.

After walking found the sportsbikeshop looking at various brands and styles of jacket,this one stood out to me, lovely soft leather, fasteners that feel sturdy ( you even get a couple of spare poppers,should you ever need them) great semi retro style, and it fits me like a glove.

Nice boots but hopefully when broken in they'll be a bit more gear selector friendly, as is there's not much feeling, but I do like merlin products?

Ordered an XL, I’m 1.8m, 94kg and 44 inch chest, it fits very nicely with enough room for a mid layer if needed. The waterproof insert works well to keep the wind chill low on cooler days. Very happy with product and service from sportsbikeshop.
