Some comments after 2 days of wearing this at unbelievably hot temperature of 27C in Czech Republic in April: Quite cool as you said, the jacket itself was even cold inside for a while in the morning, when it was around 18-20C. Then at noon it was quite comfortable, I didn't feel hot at all. Of course it's heavy and when walking around it gets really warm, I took it off in the end. Now we will see how it will be at really high temperatures, I guess it will not be cool like mesh jackets, but also not like regular leather ones, sth in between. Btw thanks for the overall shopping experience :) The size chart is quite correct, it fits like custom tailored :)
I have the cambrian which is almost fully perforated, and sadly it's not cool enough for really hot weather. I also have the shenstone mesh, it's a huge difference between the two.
Great jacket and great review as per usual. Now… be honest when highlighting the suede material were you in the process of drawing a C&B on the jacket?! 😜😂
it alomost identical to MERLIN MILLER LEATHER JACKET, the look the leather feeling even the uv reflection as well except the rate of AAA, my concern is due to video shoting, is it as a bright brown jacket or as usual brown color from merlin (dark brown )
Never had a leather jacket, and I try not ride in the rain, but what happens if you get caught in it? Will that ruin the leather jacket or is it fine because… leather? Can someone with experience weigh in?
Getting caught wont ruin it, but that soft leather quite easily soaks up water so it takes a long time to dry and you would have to condition it from time to time.
Are you able to confirm that this model fits like other Merlins? I’m going to order a 46 and need to know if it will fits my 46” chest. International order.

Thank you so much for sharing this! - Iza
I wish you finished that drawing :D
but looks like a great jacket
Merlin please make fully perforated versions. I need the ultimate HOT HOT HOT weather jacket.

@@dibekk mesh much better?
@@Fee.1 much. The cambrian (leather) is mostly OK when your moving fast, but it's unbearable around town at above 30C.

Hi, it's light brown as seen on the video! :) - Iza
Feel so bad that here in Canada those Merlin jacket are not available , this is good taste and quality that i like ! too bad
Hi, We ship worldwide ! :)
Are there any major differences between Merlin Torsten and Merlin Miller?
Great review btw!!
Hi! The Torsten is the upgraded version, is also triple AAA rated! - Iza
Would you be able to fit airbag (tech air 5) under it?
HI Max, it's not something we tried. You might need to size up if you want to fit one! - Iza
Just ordered one.... Buy British
Where is it made though?
I take it it’s still much hotter than a mesh?
It’s a bit strange they went make it perforated for twice the effect, no?
i have the merlin miller which is similar, i find you don't find yourself getting as hot in direct sunlight even compared to mesh when not moving.

Hi Rob, yes it does! - Iza
Why a manufacturer hasn't made a WHITE PERFORATED leather jacket is beyond me.
