Merlin Clothing

Tried on loads of trousers to find the right fit that was warm, waterproof and also comfy. These merlin trousers fit the bill, elsaticated waist, good quality zippers for easy access to pockets and vents. They also have adjustable knee pads, so that you can get them to sit right depending on your leg lenght. The ankle fit is such that they will go inside your boot, I have not had any issues with this as I always wear bulky motorcycle boots and if anything make the boots comfier round the ankle.

Cool and comfortable pair of gloves. They feel like a second skin over your hands whilst still having good protection. Great feeling without that stitched seam that gets you at the fingertips and more importantly at the thumb. Velcro fastening at the wrists and really thoughtful loops beside the Velcro that allow you to pull them on with just a finger. Highly recommend.

A very nice looking retro crash helmet, sportsbike shop was the best price I could find it,I got abit of wind noise but wearing ear plugs cured that.

I wanted an all weather trouser that looked good; and lining in/out these are very (very) warm and waterproof so top marks for there. However the cut is baggy and despite the adjustable straps drawing some of that material in the straps dont do much- (they do look good tho). I’ll wear these on longer rides in the winter but they’re not the all-year trouser I was after- and they’re too warm to wear when the temp is even slight warm. Very very well made but a purchase i wouldn’t have made had i seen these in the shop. I moved onto Bull-it jeans which hit the spot 100%.
