Verified Customer Reviews for Merlin Mahala Ladies D3O Explorer Textile Jacket
Stylishly safe
08 August 2025 by Vicky
Great jacket with a perfect fit. I'm dress size 14-16 and bought XL, it's a great fit. Bit snug with the liner in so have taken that out, but could still fit a thin woollen jumper underneath which would be just as warm.
Collar is very windproof, zip and poppers easy to use. Side vents mean it's still a good fit when you sit on the bike, as you can keep the waist cinched without the hem being tight on your thighs. Overall very well designed for women.

Purchased this jacket to replace my commuter one. Really impressed by the quality, the feel of the jacket is great. Looks awesome on!! Fits nicely, not too snug not too loose . As I'm a larger lady so really happy with sizing
