Merlin Jacket
05 January 2024 by Anonymous
The first jacket I got was faulty and sportsbikeshop replaced it, but I had to pay an extra £ 25 pound because it was Olive which is more money.
The jacket is a very nice jacket.

Merlin Tewkesbury Black

Comfortable jacket, looks good. I chose a medium having a 40 inch chest. Could have gone for the small and changed the armor to ghost or phantom but otherwise fits good with room for a jumper or fleece.

Price Right
06 November 2023 by Patrick
This is under half price at the moment, and at this price it is a good product. Not sure I'd pay anymore for it though, as other excellent jackets available around this price point.
That said, the jacket looks good and so far has performed well.

Versatile jacket at a great price.

I've done about 3000 miles in this jacket and I'm very happy with it. It's heavier than I expected but feels robust and protective. I've been comfortable on winter rides of 5C with a down jacket under and also in the low 20s with just a T-shirt under. It's kept me completely dry on long days of on/off rain. During a 2 hour extreme downpour (like riding through a jet wash) I learnt it would benefit from a higher collar as water eventually got down the back of my neck. But this isn't a £1200 Rukka, so I can forgive it under such extreme conditions. It has lots of well thought out features and more pockets than I can use. Plus it looks great. I'm usually a size L, sometimes M. Turns out I needed an XL in this jacket.

Excellent quality

Another top quality jacket from Merlin, this has a similar styling to a Belstaff but at a more realistic price, the fit is superb, no need to size down. Super fast delivery from SBS
