Verified Customer Reviews for Merlin Icon D3O® Leather Jacket
Next level in leather riding jackets
11 May 2026 by Andy D
Having read many reviews of many, many jackets, the Merlin Icon performed both exceptionally in safety standards and the looks department. Not too bulky, the jacket is incredibly soft and extremely well vented through its perforated leather outer. The standard of materials and finish make this feel like it has been hand made to measure - it's simply beautiful... and that classic vintage look - it's like a brand new original!
I'm actually increasing the amount of riding I'm doing, just so I have an excuse to wear it.
This will be my go to for many, many years during the more 'pleasant' months.
