Roll on summer....
15 April 2025 by Bob J
I wanted a riding shirt to go with my R18 in warmer weather but really couldn't see me wearing the checked alternatives on the market. I read all of the glowing reviews on the Merlin Brody and figured they couldn't all be wrong.
Sizing is spot on (48 UK = 3XL) but used SBS excellent 'try before you buy' anyway just to make sure.
AA rated and added a D30 back protector - what's not to like? Highly recommended.

Quality shirt at the right price.
12 March 2025 by Bob F
Just getting back into biking and wanted a shirt for the summer months. This is a well made shirt with quality fasteners and armor in the right places. . I'm a slim 6.2 and 13 stone and the large is a perfect fit leaving room for a tee shirt underneath. This shirt looks good on or off the bike.

Now my go to summer jacket
12 August 2024 by Matthew W
Excellent quality jacket, good air flow, impressively discrete armour. Looks great & I'd even wear it to the pub. I'm 6'1 & about 90-95kg & the large is a perfect fit with a t shirt underneath

Superb quality

Had my eye on a brody riding shirt for a while. Quality is superb, very comfortable on the bike with some good stretch in the material. Feels more substantial than other riding shirts and offers good wind protection.

More that a summer shirt
05 August 2024 by Anonymous
This riding shirt is of excellent quality. It fits well and as the material is slightly stretchy it is super comfortable. I am a size 41/42 chest and I found the XL to be a perfect fit, with a little room to put a thin fleece/ jersey on underneath to extend its seasonal use. All pockets are perfectly placed and zippered. I bought the D30 Ghost back armour Armour which is a Perfect fit. Buy one. It will make a lot of your other jackets and riding tops redundant.

Summer Jacket
26 May 2024 by Anthony D
Settled on the Body D30 after looking for a summer jacket the was a good fit and safe. I'm so glad I did as the fit is excellent. Worn it out on the bike a few times now and I'm very happy with it. I found it to be true to fit. Thank you again SBS for a speedy delivery.

Ideal apparel for the nicer days
25 May 2024 by Anonymous
Saw this shirt hanging up in a biker cafe and immediately liked the look of it, tried it on and it was too small, I needed the next size up but they didn't have it. Then I thought I wonder if SBS would have it and they did have my size and colour and it was £15 less. I ordered it straight away and received it 2 days later. It fits perfectly very comfortable and makes a nice change from wearing leather, especially on the warmer days and it goes great with the retro triumph look. Not sure how it would handle a rain storm but I am a fair weather rider so all good. I have even wore it when not out on the bike as I like it so much, well done SBS and Merlin for a fantastic product very comfy and well made and British.

Great riding shirt
04 April 2024 by Anonymous
I bought this shirt for a bike trip around Gran Canaria. It's perfect, lightweight (considering the inbuilt protection) and has the pockets (including zipped ones). I felt reassured there was armour inside and was surprised this could be a AA ie the same rating as my Merlin touring jacket. The fit is good (go by the chest size), I'm normally a Large in clothes but XL in bike jackets and the XL fitting perfectly. It's so good I would consider buying another of a different colour

Stylish with quality studs and zip, it's great that the side pockets also have zips. ideal for wearing during the summer months, I also wear it on colder days underneath a jacket instead of a fleece. Very well made and should give me years of use.

I Love this Jacket. Very pleased with it. Yes you could get different brands cheaper but it looks very cool & is well fitted (almost a slim fit but stretchy) & it has invisible light protection too. Perfect if we ever get an actuall summer!

Perfect!

Give or take, this is probably the best piece of motorbike clothing I have ever owned. It a perfect fit, I love the colour, it's well made and plenty of pockets for all your personal items (keys, wallet, phone etc). Great wind proofing. As far as temperature, anything below 21 degrees C is probably going to be too cold. I have worn at 21 degrees on a windy day and was borderline. I love this product, it's perfect for a warm ride out.
