Merlin Dunford D3O Single Layer Riding Jeans - Black So as a new rider I bought these. They fit lively around the waist and I thought the relaxed fit look quite good then when my friends come to have a look at some of my gear he pointed out that you can literally just lift the bottom of the Jean right up over the knee as they are so baggy. Therefore in a slide they're just going to pull straight up. For this reason I bought another pair which word at Oxford slim fit tailored originals and these are nice and tight and stretchy although the waist size was a bit bigger
Merlin D3O Ghost Knee / Elbow Armour I'm new to this type of armour and wish I'd known about it sooner. I was wondering how the knee protectors would fit in my jeans but they went in perfectly. If you prefer a subtle, casual look when you're off the bike, these are the way.
Merlin Brecken D3O Air Mesh Hoodie - Black Perfect upper protection for the summer days when the leathers will be too hot. Lets a nice bit of air through and offers solid protection, can be hooked into trousers with a zip/clip.
Merlin Blackbird - Matt Black Naked Best open face helmet I've ever had and at a price I couldn't believe, the quality of this helmet is great , a basic open face with no drop down visor, a sleek Matt black helmet with exceptional comfort padding on inside 5 star helmet high recommend this helmet , super fast delivery
Merlin Hixon II D3O Leather Jacket - Black Nothing to dislike quality product
Merlin Blackbird - Gloss White Probably the lowest profile open face that conforms to 20.06 regs. Very comfortable. I would have preferred the logo to be a little more discreet in size and positioning. Excellent packaging and delivery from SPS.
