MERLIN AXE HYDRO WATERPROOF KEVLAR RIDING SHIRT - RED

Merlin Heritage Collection

The Merlin Heritage Collection seamlessly blends classic styling with modern protection to create a versatile selection of motorcycle clothing. We use a range of different market-leading materials, including Halley Stevensons® Waxed Cotton, D3O® armour and Reissa® waterproofing to ensure the highest quality. Our heritage collection also expands into leather garments for retro riders who want the old-school looks minus the signature feel of waxed cotton. Combining the best of British-made motorcycle clothing, our Heritage line offers a wide variety for both men and women.

Merlin Hixon II Leather Jacket

The original Hixon jacket was first released in 2016 and was a staple of the Merlin collection for many years. As part of the Hixon refresh we have kept the well-received super soft and supple leather and added in a number of new improvements. The first of these upgrades includes D3O® armour which sits in the shoulders and elbows. Hixon II then has a revised fit with a slightly longer length, new design details and crucially includes more ventilation – with three back vents and two chest ventilation points added.

Caring for your Hixon II jacket

Because of the ‘naked’ leather finish of Hixon II, we would recommend purchasing an aniline leather cleaner and an aniline leather guard. You can also buy aniline moisturiser to restore moisture to the Hixon at longer intervals. Please test any new cleaners on an inconspicuous area of the jacket first.

Merlin Jagger Urban Utility D3O Jacket

Fashion inspired with a touch of utilitarian. The Jagger Urban Utility D3O Jacket is one of the longer Merlin products and can be worn on weekend blasts as well as shorter commutes with both on and off the bike styling. Built using a premium 10k waterproof and 10k breathable Tactel laminate, rain instantly beads off the garment, preventing water soak. Inside the jacket is a stand alone synthetic down jacket, with a 500 power fill rating. Armour comes in the form of D3O’s highly ventilated LP1 shoulder and elbow, with provision for a back protector. Despite the casual styling Jagger is CE certified to level AA.

Caring for your Jagger Urban Utility D3O Jacket

To care for your jacket, begin by lightly brushing off any dirt or soil, and use a cold damp cloth if necessary to wipe down the jacket. Clean it in this way regularly to maintain its appearance, but don’t be too harsh as the wax will be removed. You can re-wax the jacket when it loses its waxed finish and water begins to soak into the cotton rather than bead off. Please do not machine wash, tumble dry or use hot water on your jacket.

Merlin Shenstone II Cotec Air Jacket

The Shenstone II is a versatile jacket for both wet and hot rides. For those wet rides, a highly waterproof and breathable 15k/10k membrane lining works to keep riders dry. Then for those dry and warm days, detach the lining and the technical waxed cotton upper which has been combined with large air mesh ventilation panels, provide maximum airflow. Shenstone II has lots of fit adjustment, subtle branding, many usable pocket. To top it off, five pieces of D3O® armour is pre-fitted. Improvements over the original include the spec of lining, armour fitment against the arms, larger mesh panels, a fold back collar hoop and even better refinement in the overall quality of finish and fit.
