Verified Customer Reviews for Merlin Rigger D3O Mesh Jacket
Wow...
15 July 2025 by Ian
I needed something cooler to wear during the summer and rightly or wrongly I just do not trust armoured hoodies. The Rigger jacket is the perfect blend of casual and protective, the mesh let's the air in perfectly and the leather and armour are in just the right places to instill confidence when pressing on. Overall 10/10!!!

Simple stylish value.

Not filled with features but the sale price is very appealing. No issues with the quality, though the armour could perhaps fixed a bit more securely.

Looking forward to summer

If I'm honest, I wasn't expecting to much when I ordered this jacket. What a great surprise when it arrived. Fantastic fit, the whole jacket feels good, shoulder and elbow protection are good, unfortunately the back protector is from 20 years ago, it will definitely be replaced. The rest of the jacket, including the zip off hood, reminds me of a casual jacket you could wear off the bike too. Would ha been 5 stars all the way, if that back protector was better.
