The Merlin Alton Leather Motorcycle Jacket

June 9, 2018

Hey, everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve done an entry on a jacket that I’ve had a good long time of proper hands on experience with. And then it dawned on me- why haven’t I done an entry on my jacket? So here’s an in depth review of my very own Merlin Alton Leather Motorcycle Jacket.

I absolutely love my Alton jacket. I practically live my life in it and I’ve never had a bad thing to say about it other than this one time I got caught in a storm on a four hour ride Southward but that was entirely my fault.

The Jacket is made of proper cowhide, making it brilliantly protective but also very soft and flexible. It’s definitely the most comfortable and forgiving leather jacket I have when it comes to movement. So, on or off the bike, it’s a pleasure to wear.

Lots of people have taken an interest in the jacket for its comfort and casual style, wearing it without armour as a normal jacket. I wear soft armour in mine and it stays in there whether I wear the jacket casually or on a ride.

The Alton Leather Jacket has a removable thermal liner that is quite thin and light. When you take it out of the jacket it looks like it wouldn’t do much but appearances can be deceiving- it really does make a difference. It also has a vent behind a zip on the right side of the chest to allow a bit more airflow on the extra hot days. So as long as it’s dry weather, the jacket is great for riding in Spring, Summer and Autumn.

Now for the best part of this jacket and I’m sure it’s the part you’re most interested in as well- the price. Merlin Motorcycle Clothing is a new and highly underrated brand which is why their prices are as low as they are. You can grab your own Merlin Alton Leather Motorcycle Jacket for just £229.99 [prices accurate 8/6/18] but believe me, if it were any other high profile brand these jackets would be selling for double that.

Thanks for reading everyone! Until next time!

The Merlin Airbag System!

May 21, 2018

Hey, everyone! I’ve seen all sorts of safety related items for motorcyclists ranging from braces to back protectors but I’d never seen an airbag system up close. To me it was this pro piece of kit only affordable to the big money race riders you see on the telly.

But after having them come into GhostBikes and having a play with them- The Merlin Airbag System is easy to use, easily affordable and really effective. There are two kinds available -The universal version that you wear like a normal backpack. And an integrated version that works with Merlin Airbag Ready Jackets so that the system is a part of the jacket instead of being worn over the top.

The Merlin Airbags use a lanyard that attaches to your bike with a clip. In an accident, the lanyard pulls free from the airbag and activates the system, filling the airbag in mere milliseconds. When fully inflated the Merlin airbag creates one big cushion that covers over the tail bone, right the way up the spine and the back of the neck. It helps to keep the spine from moving in ways that it shouldn’t while ensuring the head can’t move too far back and also helps to protect the back of the ribs.

At £329.99 the Merlin airbag system is quite nicely affordable and well worth the investment for riders going fast and travelling far.

Thanks for reading everyone! Until next time!

NEW! Merlin now in Stock!

May 15, 2018

Hey, everyone! It’s always exciting when a new brand pops with us, I get to have a look around and see what new stuff we have. I’m very happy to announce that we now have Merlin Bike Gear in stock! I’m already the proud owner of my own Merlin Alton Leather Motorcycle Jacket and people have visited us before asking if we have the brand in stock. We didn’t then but we do now!

A lot of the gear is yet to be listed on the website as I write this [20/4/18] but from what I’ve seen there’s a great selection of leather jackets and waxed jackets to choose from and even some trousers to suit them as well as a good number of bike boots.

There’s even motorcycle airbag protection systems which have been really interesting. I’ve never seen one in the flesh before and I’m kind of itching to set one off just to see what they’re like. Purely for motorcycle safety science, of course.

So our selection in store has expanded yet again! Come on in to our Preston showroom and have a look around! As more items are put up on our website, I’ll do more on each individual item that I feel is particularly noteworthy. Thanks for reading, everyone! Until next time!
