Merlin Clothing

I love these gloves, very comfortable straight away, no need to break in, and very warm with a cozy lining.
I’ve only worn them once in the rain but they stayed dry without any problems or leaks.

Extremely comfortable and appears tho be warm - although yet to try in harsh weather.
They cover my boots well and dont ride up.
My only draw back is the knee protection seems a little on the low side even tho I ordered a short leg however everyone has different leg lengths obviously

I wondered what type of boots would they be whilst riding and how they would impact my ride. I have to say that after few rides I realised how valuable they are. Comfy, secure and great fit. It is hard to navigate your foot around the brake and the gear initially because feet are totally embedded into the boot and you dont know how much of an angle is required to get your foot under the gear as it is a thick boot. But with time you get he idea and then it is smooth sailing. I have never felt cold feet after long rides in cold weather and they are not that heavy either.

Used only once so early days but extremely comfortable and a great fit too

Take a bit of breaking in , neck stud hard to do up

I’ve been wearing the Merlin Brody D3O Riding Chinos for daily commuting, and they’ve quickly become my go-to trousers. They look just like normal chinos, so I can go straight into the office without changing — no one can tell they’re riding gear. The D3O armour is slim and unobtrusive, and the single-layer design keeps them lightweight and comfortable off the bike. Fit is slightly on the large size and the stretch fabric moves well when riding. Overall, a great balance of style, comfort, and protection.
