“Bought a medium jacket and it fits really well (5`11" slim build). Really pleased with the jacket does exactly what it says on the tin.”

“This is a cracking looking jacket, I was hoping it would be the step up from the RST Brixton that I currently own in terms of usability and function, whilst looking a bit more like my everyday wear non-motorcycle wax jacket. But as another reviewer has highlighted, the fit on the sleeves is terrible. My issue wasn't forearm diameter (I'm definitely on the noodly side with that), but tightness at the elbows. Even without the liner, I couldn't get comfortable with it no matter how much time I wore it, anything more than 45 degrees bent caused tightness and irritation. No good for a jacket that I was hoping would be just as suited to a 30 minute commute as it would be to multi day trips. Bigger sleeves or accordion panels (like the Brixton mentioned earlier) would solve this. Worth noting that the sleeve cuffs are also tiny, no chance of getting full length gloves in. Also, the bullet point feature list of this jacket implies that the thermal liner and waterpoof liner are separate items when they are in fact combined, you cannot have one without the other. If it wasn't for these two issues, I'd definitely be keeping it as the style is gorgeous, the features and feel of the jacket are great. And major props to Urban Rider who made the returns process simple and straightforward.”

“Great jacket that mixes warmth, function and style very nicely My only gripe is the Velcro on the collar is cut too high which rubs like hell if you don’t wear a snood or something to protect your neck.”

“Fits perfect, rally beautifull and comfortable, i'am 177 cm, 82 kg and i bought size M. You can't remove Protections but it's not a big deal. Only one big Problem: buiyng from italy after brexit is 120 € for taxes and custom, for 280 pound jacket.”

“I absolutely love this jacket. I seem to be more akin to how things look than perform, which is not a great trait to have. Anyway, this jacket not only looks great on, it's rather a practical short jacket. I wore this two days ago with an ambient of 3 degrees and wearing winter layers, I was more than protected, so the liner really works well. I hadn't bought this with the intention of winter use, but I was more than impressed with the level of protection I had. I can't wait for warmer weather where I can wear it as intended riding my modern classic. The forearm sleeve sections seemed a little tight, as already commented on, but once I'd worn it for an hour, I never gave it a second thought. To sum up, I really love the style of this jacket and the nice touches of elbow pads and piping on the neck and cuffs, really make it. I'm new to Merlin riding gear and I'm suitably impressed. I will definitely be treating myself again!!”

“This jacket is extremely well thought out. Has everything to give you confidence in being protected if the worst should happen. Also looks great as casual jacket off the bike so you'll get a bit more use out of it!”
