Great over-trousers, but side zips are too small
27 February 2025 by Rick
These Merlin Platinum over-trousers were purchased as a set with the matching jacket.

I ordered the XL and 2XL sizes and found that the XL was ideal for my 1.85m frame and 90kg size. The combination works over my full winter riding attire and will also work over summer kit thanks to the cut and adjustability, without having too much excess fabric.

The material has a soft cotton-like feel, which is much nicer than the PU coated waterproofs out there and water beads straight off. There are some discrete high-viz details and logos.

I liked the high waist design, which will keep water out where it meets the jacket and the draw-chord closure makes adjustments quick and easy.

These trousers would have been 5 stars but are sadly let down by the zips at the ankles, which are relatively short. I found it difficult to get the trousers over a pair of size UK11-12 touring boots whilst still wearing the boots. I reckon that this will be a nightmare at the side of the road in a downpour and will probably require taking the boots off before putting the trousers on.

They come with a carry bag and pack down to a reasonable size. The trousers on their own weigh 536g in the XL size.

I considered a few other brands before settling on these and despite the zip issue were still the best overall for the money.

They'll do…

Waterproof… which is the main thing.

They don't feel very high quality and that they'll last long, they also lack adjustability on the ankles and waste, so do inflate a bit whilst riding.

Cheap solution that keeps you dry - wouldn't buy again, but good enough to get you out of a sudden downpour.

Good quality over trousers

Very good quality over trousers. Laminate so not just a thin fabric, roll down into a small roll bag so ideal for a topbox etc.

They work and are comfortable

Needed a new set of waterproofs and these looked good.
I have worn them in some torrential rain lately and they kept me perfectly dry.
The only reason for 4 stars is the sizing. Other waterproofs are sized to take into account for being worn over protective clothing. I would suggest going for a size up from your usual size.
Excellent service from SBS as always.
