Great jacket
25 November 2023 by Simon B
This jacket is great. It's warm and feels to be safe. The only negative thing for me is the length of the sleeves, they are about 2 inches too long, but no problem with my gloves on. It's amazing to get such a great jacket for the price that it is. I would recommend this jacket.

Perfect!

Had my eye on this for a while and was super lucky to be able to get it in my size after it was reduced as end-of-line.
I got size 41 which is a little lower than I would usually go for, but without a jumper on it fits like a glove and is super comfortable.
With quality D30 armour throughout and thermal lining, it was a steal at £250.
Claims to be waterproof, but no idea how it holds up to rain as I haven't used it in the rain yet.

Great quality. I think great value for money. Comes with the latest armour including a back protector as well.
Feels great as well. Leather is of great quality and is so comfey to wear.
Really well sized as well, for me anyway. Looking forward to wearing it a lot more. Feels like it will last forever.

Really nice jacket
28 June 2021 by Michael C
My first impression of this jacket was how soft and pliable the leather was - it's got a really quality feel to it. The styling is nicely understated, and the fit is perfect for my usual sizing. I haven't tried it in the rain yet, but this is a really comfortable jacket to wear, looks great, and feels high quality. I bought the Merlin belt with zip to connect to the jacket, but I found I didn't need it, as the jacket is long enough by itself. Very satisfied.

Description
The Gable is Merlin's most innovative and performance-orientated leather jacket. It features a single layer, seam-sealed, waterproof leather. Unlike traditional leather jackets, there is no waterproof membrane which in comparison stops the leather from soaking up water, allowing it to dry out quicker, and with the vents open, be more breathable. The Gable features 5 piece D3O armour and meets the highest safety standards.
