Verified Customer Reviews for Merlin Ladies Shenstone Cotec Air Jacket
Very comfortable Jacket
28 Mar 2026 by Kay P
So comfortable to wear but also looks good.
The back sits right down onto the bottom so doesn t ride up when on the bike. Water and wind proof with the lining, gorgeous cool lightweight jacket for hot days.
I ve had leather jackets before but the fit on this is so much better, it s a great design for women. Much lighter than leather when carrying around.
I love Sportsbikeshop s option to order in a selection of products to try on before you buy.
Very satisfied customer.

Merlin!!!!!!

Merlin!
Always look at and purchase Merlin for the same reasons.
Value for money comes with all the armour and not that brick like stuff. D30 in arms, shoulders and back so save right of the bat.
Always fits and fits well with great mesh ventilation however enough room to add layers for that early morning start.
My wife loves the jacket so style, function and comfort.
Not cheap but not expensive for the quality you get and would expect to pay more.
The one thing that the jacket could have is on the men's there is a zip on the right arm to put a bank card in which with touch pay is massively convenient. The ladies does not which would be handy,
Purchase with confidence when buying Merlin.
