Very Smart Jacket
13 July 2023 by L W
Looks the business! Leather is lovely, it's a sort of cross between suede and sheep skin - not smooth leather. Do check the size guide as that is spot on, although quite roomy in the belly! Go careful putting it down on polished/white surfaces though as the colour and finish tends to leach onto things it touches. Hung on the back of the bedroom door and left loads of greasy marks. I assume from the tanning process? Smells amazing and made my house smell more manly. :D

Stylish value

Having purchased other Merlin products in the past, it was no surprise that I could tell this was a great quality jacket, straight out of box.
Materials all feel luxurious and good quality.
Armour is super light, and jacket doesn't feel bulky at all, with out without the liner. Main Zip and those on cuffs all feel buttery smooth and the fit is really nice.
Only slight gripe is that it's a bit of a pain to remove bug splats. The jacket is a lovely soft Nappa leather, so it takes extra work (and water) to clean it.
That aside, it's a great jacket and I am really pleased with my purchase.

Nice leather. Quality finish. Received the next day. Nicely priced. Bit tight at the collar for me, but not a problem. Like the style. Knocks 10 years off an old man (so my wife says). Very pleased with the purchase.

Quality jacket

The leather on this was very soft, but still seems to be tough. I went with the size guide, and it worked for me - I got the size I need from it. There really isn't a back pad - that was in the description, and it's fine - so I pulled one from my old jacket that fits (although it's a bit snug in the pocket). All-in-all, I'm happy with this purchase.

Good all round

Excellent jacket, would probably recommend ordering a size up though as it's not very giving.
The back support Forcefield Pro Lite K 008 fits perfectly, any others that are wider won't fit through the small slot in the jacket.

Great leather jacket
29 September 2019 by Portugal
It came in about 6 days.
Size up. I had already tried a similar model from merlin, but because it has a 'slim cut' compared to others, you should definitely size up.
The leather is really soft but it dyes your clothes. After removal of the inner layer it gets a little bit discomfortable.

Great jacket after all, I would buy again.

All round quality jacket, not overly bulky, with an excellent fit and doesn't need to be broken in.
For the price it's outstanding

Absolutely beautiful jacket but stay away from rai

I really didn't know if I should give this jacket such a high rating but whilst it has some issues I absolutely love it. It's a very short, tight fitting jacket; nicely made and absolutely looks the part. It's very warm even without the removable lining and quite usable as a casual leather jacket when not riding. My issue with it is that during my first ride with it on the jacket got wet and dye then ran all over the shirt I was wearing, completely ruining it. After drying it out I wore it again with a different shirt in the dry and it ruined that too, the collar of the white shirt looked absolutely filthy. I hope this issue goes away in time as I love the jacket. In the meantime I now only wear it in the dry and use black shirts!

Absolutely fantastic jacket. Couldn't ask for anything more! Looks the part, very smart. 10/10 would buy again.

Do yourself a favour and grab it while you can! I bet it won't be in stock for much longer once people find out how amazing this jacket actually is!!!

Nice jacket looks good even better when out on the CB750, only down side when ordering definitely go up one size. I got what should have been the correct size but had to replace with the next size up.

It looks as good as in the photos but the feel and weight are amazing! Love this jacket so much that I removed the crash protections and use it as my every day jacket. You won't regret it

The jacket is exactly as expected, the thermal liner is extremely this however so don't expect to rely on it.

Top quality, beautifully made leather jacket with removable quilted liner. 44 is a tight fit but looks great and does not restrict movement. Crash protection is comfortable. An all round excellent, stylish jacket.
