Kimberly S
Verified buyerFantastic Looking & Feeling Jacket!
“I LOVE this jacket! I tried on probably 3 or 4 mesh jackets before I landed on this one. It's great looking - very trim and SUPER comfortable. I have wider shoulders and a larger chest (but am small boned) - the medium fits me perfectly. I sized up based on other reviews and that was a mistake. I would normally wear a medium and that's what fit well (after I tried the large and had to return it). I'm so disappointed with the look and quality of most women's gear. This jacket has me feeling protected without looking like an astronaut...sweet!”

Verified buyerSafe and sexy jacket
“There were no reviews for this women's Merlin jacket, but thank goodness for YouTube review videos (posted by Revilla) about the Men's jacket. It provided me some educational information before I purchased. I am 5'-4" tall, 128 lbs with a petite frame, so I ordered a small and it fits perfect. The design is very sexy and the mesh offers perfect ventilation for riding on the Big Island of Hawaii with temps ranging from 60s to high 70s. I've gotten lots of compliments on the quality construction and look. I would definitely recommend if you want a riding jacket that is safe and sexy to wear.”
Andrea M
Possibly the perfect jacket
“Just got back into riding and needed new gear. I spent weeks mulling my decision/choice and I have to say that this is the perfect jacket for me. It comes with all the protective gear installed (except chest), it's super comfortable and incredibly protective per the ratings. On top of all that, you can wear it off the bike and not feel like the Michelin man--it's pretty comfy and more than that, it's fantastic looking. Absolutely great choice.”

“Great Jacket, I originally bought the XL, it was to big. I sent it back and re-ordered the Large. I am extremally happy with this jacket. It fits great, and is providing the spring and summer riding coat I have been looking for. The quality of the jacket, its design and function is well crafted.”
