Great summer touring glove
05 August 2025 by John
No more chilly, exposed wrists with cuffs that are the perfect length for my adventure jacket. Lightweight and protective, they're easy to slip on, feel secure, and the touch-screen fingertips work great. The finger length is just right, with no tight spots, making them super comfortable to wear. Plus, they’re convenient and easily stow away in a jacket pocket.

Perfect dry spring / summer gloves
17 April 2023 by Lee
I am between a medium and large in most gloves. Wide hand stubby fingers.
The Merlins fit very well, armour is soft, pliable but protective. The look is quality with a retro nod but in a modern style which goes well with my Merlin jacket. Only time will tell the longevity. So far so good.
