“Perfect fit. I'm 38/40 chest, size medium is great. Airflow is great for a summers day. The weather was warm for my first day wearing the jacket. I'm very pleased with the jacket.”

“Quick delivery & the jacket as advertised. Great product & after taking out the wet weather/cold weather insides, I didn't realise how cool the jacket would be riding in hotter climates.”

“I ordered this jacket because I live in Alabama, US and it is hot and humid. This jacket breathes very well and looks and fits amazing. I have about around a 45" chest, closer to 46" than 44", am 6'2, weigh 215 lbs with long arms and the XL fit me very well. I would have liked to have around another inch in sleeve length, but it is not a huge deal, it still fits well. The adjustable straps make this jacket as form fitting as I want and separate it from other jackets in terms of adjustability. It looks cool as hell on my Triumph Bonneville T120 Black Gold Line! Merlin quality is above all the rest in my opinion.”

“They are really nice but for me a bit short in the leg (I am 6’2” with long legs so maybe a bit unfair), however I can’t be bothered to send them back unless the supplier says they can offer a longer leg??”

“Very nice jacket. I love the styling. Flows air nicely, and I love that it came with a quality D30 back protector. It does hang a little bit low in the pocket but that's unnoticed while riding. Mainly just when walking around. It has a loop to attach to your belt and a zipper as well to attach to your trousers if you like, but these are right in the middle of your back so I also felt that pressing on my spine. Since I had no plans to attach a zipper to my trousers, I cut it off but kept the belt loop. Problem solved. Two belt loops to the sides of your spine would be a much better design, in case Merlin is listening. The handpockets are a material that blocks a lot of the airflow on your stomach, I assume so they're waterproof but I don't know if that's a primary concern when wanting a jacket that flows air. Maybe if you live in the tropics and deal with sudden thunderstorms, I guess. I live in California and it's not unusual to ride when it's 95 degrees so for me, I like to feel like I'm wearing a screen door. Still, not a complaint, just an observation. If you have a fairing you probably don't get much airflow there anyway, so maybe it's no real loss. I also really like that it came with a liner so you can block the airflow if the temperature drops, so it's very versatile. The main material of the jacket (Cotec) seems very durable yet is comfortably light. The mesh also seems to be very robust. Don't focus on my nitpicks, I really, really like this jacket. I'd give it 4.5 stars and would absolutely buy it again. It does a nice job of flowing air while looking really stylish too. Fun facts: I'm 5' 8", 180 lbs. Don't think muscular, think beer belly. I bought the medium and it fits very well. It will be much better on my waist when I lose a few pounds, but the shoulders, arms and chest fit me spot on.”

“I've only used it with the waterproof lining removed and I've got to say it's an unbelievably effective jacket. It's like riding around in a heavy t-shirt with armour! It looks good and the fit is great. Love it!”
