I purchased this shirt (red check) 5 months ago (April 2022) and have been regularly wearing it through our autumn, winter and now early spring here in SW Australia. It is super super comfortable (soft material that does not chafe), warm on cold days (when also wearing both thermal undershirt and thick shirt beneath) and cool on warm days (when not wearing thermal etc). The zips (on the chest and wrists) are robust, slide beautifully and appear long lasting and the strong press studs (snaps) finish the job securely. And it looks REALLY smart. It has one major flaw - an absence of external side pockets to hold ‘stuff’ (keys, iPhone, wallet, etc) and to put your hands into when you get off your motorcycle. I wrote to Merlin about this … and such is their commitment to both their product and their customers … they replied within a few days to say they’ve taken my suggestion on board and will be fitting such pockets (with zips!) in their next season Merlin Sherbrooke. This will make it a 110% riding shirt and, despite already having one, I will most definitely be buying the new one (with side pocket zips) - this time blue check. Obviously, I would not hesitate to recommend this shirt.

This is by far the best jacket I have ever bought. It has a thick Kevlar layer throughout the entire jacket. It is extremely durable and I have done about 10 000kms , colour and jacket has stood the test of time even after multiple washes. Temp wise : wear between 16 degrees to 28 degrees , anything else gets uncomfortable. It is extremely causal and yet you feel extremely safe and secure. I can't recommend enough!

This jacket feels very light, very comfortable and a very good option for hot days in the town. While i feel it won't me the same level of protection as a leather jacket; i wont be falling off my bike from heat exposure. Very good and will recommend.
