Feels like a hoodie
08 April 2025 by RiderZoneClick
Great price when purchased, and feels great. Better than any of my cheap hoodies for normal day use. In fact, I would not mind using this as an everyday hoodie. Great buy!
Pity that there is no pocket to add a back protector. Next time Merlin?

Very nice motorcycle hoodie, excellent quality and feel. Order size down as I did for great fit.
Armour is good, no back protecor but didn't want one. Not the cheapest but of a high standard and well worth it especially if discounted as mine was. Recommended.
