If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Hi, I bought this jacket just to have a leather one as I've never owned one, the jacket is a beast and you can tell it would protect you in a slide with no problems.
I've had the jacket just over a year and worn it a dozen times tops as my bike I'd now a toy for nice days, I had a problem with a popper that came off on the wrist , Sportsbikeshop sorted this with a repair very quickly but unfortunately after receiving the jacket back from Merlin the other popper came off on the same wrist, Sportsbikeshop sorted a return for me as they don't have it in my size any more, I put it down to bad luck as the jacket in all other respects is well made, I can say Sportsbikeshop is awesome when it comes to problems and I'm happy to use them as a goto shop for my biking gear.
As I have a couple of classic bikes, I was looking for a suitable Leather jacket to complete the image. The Merlin Wishaw should be fine it fits well, is a bit stiff, though this is to be expected. I've not used it on the bike yet, but am happy with the item.
A classic leather jacket is a must-have for any retro rider's biking wardrobe. Constructed from premium aniline cowhide leather, the Wishaw is packed full of practical features. D3O armour is pre-fitted to the shoulders and elbows with the option of adding an optional Viper back protector. Its overall CE rating of 'AA' provides additional reassurance. The details count in Wishaw, as it's finished off with diamond stitching to the shoulders and leather trims to the collar and cuffs.
