Merlin Motorcycle Jackets- Are they all that?

Toni Reviews is a youtube channel dedicated to real rider reviews, from a London born and bred cockney. In this video I look at the Merlin Heritage range of waxed cotton motorcycle jackets and ask...Are they all that?

At last, someone who knows how to do a quality video presentation that's informative & easy to follow. Best wishes from the south west coast of the island of Australia.

I have had a Merlin Yoxall for 5-6 years, and it is absolutely class. Equals or outdoes the Belstaff Roadmaster I used to have back in the day, and a fraction of the ridiculous prices Belstaff charge now. I live in Japan, and we get some serious rain, both warm and freezing. This jacket has never failed to keep me bone dry in an hour's ride to work. Quality materials and manufacture. Been rewaxed 2 or 3 times and has a nice patina now. Excellent piece of kit.

Just bought a Merlin wax jacket. Love the quality and thought that had gone into it. Did upgrade the armour. Recommended.

Really nice review format, actually wearing the jacket and commenting on its effectiveness in real world use. Clear and concise with no waffle yet still the genuine interest in the product comes through, 👍

Nice one Toni. Really good job. No messing, no hype. Perfect.

I have a Yoxall and have, in fact, been caught in several heavy downpours. I can vouch that it remained completely waterproof. It's a fantastic jacket all-around; the first adjective that comes to mind is "substantial". Lots of storage space, good looks, and the waxed cotton feels like it could stop a small-caliber bullet. The only downside that I can think of is that it's very, very heavy (I wear a size L). I never weighed it but when I take it off it feels heavier than my entire camping gear, including a couple of pots and pans. Ventilation could also be better but, hey, for the price, it's hard to do better.

I have owned a couple of Merlin jackets. The Elmhurst and the Shenstone. Quality to brief ratio is fantastic. I ended up selling them as both were XL. I’m a 42/43 chest and they were too big. Happy eBay buyers. Me not so.

Thanks for the EBay heads up! I’d forgotten about checking there for stuff! Just grabbed a mega bargain on a 2nd hand Merlin winter jacket!!

Thanks for the review. It convinced me to try a Merlin Edale. I think the Edale might be a little heavy for what I am looking for. But my word does it ooze quality. It really is a Belstaff but at half the price. It's the sort of jacket you buy once and it keeps on giving for 10 or 20 years. Love the accent too (born south London, lived east London most of my youth).

Love the look of this jacket & the technical details take it beyond Belstaff gear.

[Gilgamesh]

Nice review. No nonsense, attention to detail and application. Thanks. Subscribed from USA (New Mexico). Cheers.

Great review Toni. I just got a Merlin Shenstone and agree with you about the quality and value from this brand.

[jasonhochman]

I got the Wesley, and I think that it is a good value.I got a small and it is generously sized. It has a good classic look. I like the waxed cotton. It's not too heavy so it is good for warmer weather, although, the waxed cotton doesn't breathe like untreated cotton. But it does offer water resistance.

I know this video has been here awhile, but it's new to me. Nice job! Well done. Very informative. Thank you.

[Lejulestap]

I’ve got the Shenstone Air and the only complain is that the sleeves at the wrist are really tight have to wear short gloves, overall it’s a great jacket

[ethan]
