Superb Mesh Shirt
01 Sep 2026 by Gregory S
I bought this to replace an old Triumph mesh jacket that was getting too tight. Looking for a British made product is a challenge until I found Merlin.
The jacket, large size, fits my 42” chest extremely well. The sleeves are not tight and the snap fastener cuffs are just right. The length is good while riding and the zip front has snap fastener overwrap.
It is what I would class as a jerkin/shirt and I only need a T shirt under if the breeze is cool. It was fabulous for this summer!

Great gear from Marlin

Works really well as a summer mesh jacket and love the styling. I added a back protector in the pocket, fit with this was still great and comfortable.
