Merlin Barton 2 Silk Wax Textile Jacket - Black

Love these jackets, they look great off and on a bike, lovely and warm with excellent weather resistance. I think the longer cut Merlin jackets would be better in the rain but I prefer the look of the shorter jacket. I had the older Barton jacket before, rode around the uk and Europe the only issue I had was in the extreme hot weather when I should have been wearing a mesh jacket. The cut and fit is generous.

Very nice and comfortable jacket. Fits perfectly, and looks good as a casual jacket when off the bike. Feels very well made too. Excellent service from sportsbikeshop, as always.

Fits me perfectly and is all very good quality. All the right features, functional yet a cool looking item. Recommended.

Jacket is as advertised, excellent quality with good venting. Plenty of adjustment where it's needed.
I'm a size 38 and ordered the small size and it's a perfect fit. Excellent service again from SBS.

This jacket looks great on and off the bike. The cuffs don't open very wide so getting gloves underneath is difficult hence 4 out of 5. Mainly worn without the thermal liner so far and it is quite breezy so will be ideal on warmer days.

Merlin jackets are well designed and made with care and attention to detail. There is definitely style and understated elegance about this jacket. I have yet to test it under extreme conditions but it feel good on in the house and sat on the bike. Feels warm and hopefully performs like my other Merlin jackets. The armour is made of D30 which is soft and pliable until point of impact when it absorbs the force and provides a hardened barrier, and yet you would never know it was there. I highly recommend buying one you wont be disappointed. The removable inner liner is a good detail as I hope to wear this jacket on various different bikes I own all year round. I'm a 44 inch chest and the XL gives me enough wiggle room for a midlayer without being stretched. Very well made.

Merlin wax cotton jackets are well designed and made with care and attention to detail. Overall, there is an understated elegance about this jacket. I have yet to test it under extreme conditions but feel confident it will deliver in terms of warmth and dryness. The armour is made of D30 which is soft and pliable until point of impact when it absorbs the force and provides a hardened barrier, and yet you would never know it was there. I highly recommend trying one on at your nearest sportsbikeshop; you wont be disappointed. The removable inner liner will come in handy as temperatures drop.True to size. And well made.

Order a 2 xl as I'm a 46 inch chest. I needed to send back for a Xl. Once again jacket sent back without charge and new one delivered in days. Excellent services as always from sportsbikeshop. Thanks Guys /girls. This jacket has been worn in the wet and proved to be good. It has a internal liner which can be taken out in the summer, so all round good jacket on the bike or even off.
