This is the second Merlin jacket I've purchased from Sportsbikeshop and yet again I'm absolutely delighted with the product and service.
Jacket fits true to size and is very comfortable from the start.

Good all-round jacket
25 September 2023 by Mike D
I've had this jacket for a few months and I'm even more pleased now than when I bought it. I've ridden on cold mornings and been perfectly warm. On warmer days it is comfortable with the inner removed and vents open. It has been perfectly waterproof with nothing getting through. Add to this the feeling of security from the heavy quality construction and the 7 piece armour.
I bought this jacket at the Boston shop. Even by SBS standards the service was outstanding. Rhys could not have been more helpful.
Thanks again.
