Merlin Shenstone II Cotec Air Jacket - Black Love the design, the fact that it’s very breezy in hot days and that it offers AA protection. You can’t got wrong with a Merlin jacket.
Merlin Neptune 2 WP Textile Trousers - Black Bought these to match my Merlin Jacket. Offer good weather protection, with a removable quilted layer. This does mean they are a little baggy and not so well fitting with out the liner in, so might want to decide whether you'll be wearing them with or without to ensure a good fit.
Merlin Calton CE2 Leather D3O Gloves - Black The gloves are comfy to wear and keep my hands dry and warm. One really annoying point, if your hands are warm and clammy, when you take the gloves off, the liner seems to come with your hands slightly, making it very difficult to put them back on. At least once on my last trip, it took me a few minutes to get my hands in, which was pain in the ass when I was already worn out.
Merlin Sierra D30 Waterproof Explorer Boots - Black Boots have a snug fit and are comfortable on long rides. The lace mechanism is easy to use and makes getting boots on and off a breeze
Merlin Condor Laminated D3O Textile Trousers - Black Well put together, I am a 32 leg 34 waist, size L regular fit great and I can wear them over regular jeans if needed. Waterproofing works well and the double layer construction works well over boots, but may be a tight fit over adv boots
Merlin Ether II D3O WP Leather Boots - Brown Fantastic boots for comfort & amazing quality ?
Merlin Renegade AAA Riding Shirt - Sand I’m 6’3” and the sleeve length is perfect on my medium size. Is a comfortable jacket and looks good (better than some of the alternatives of a similar style). For £200 to get this level of protection is pretty awesome
