Don’t be fooled by the Merlin Drifter jacket’s casual looks, this is a futureproof, sustainable and durable motorcycle jacket. The 100% organic Halley Stevensons® ripstop cotton outer receives a fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment, with weatherproofing further bolstered by the addition of a highly waterproof and breathable Humax membrane. Receiving an overall CE certification of Level ‘A’ and backed by D3O® armour fitted to the shoulders, elbows and back, Drifter is as protective as it is stylish.
This new fabric Cotec has a soft, slightly oily/damp handle with a modern matt appearance. The cloth maintains a clean, uniform appearance. This unique fabric is a modern interpretation of traditional silk wax, with better breathability, ease of use in the long term and critically better safety performance. Given all this it is even more amazing that the fabric has a finished 8oz weight in contrast to the traditional silkwax which has a finished weight of 12oz.
The Expedition is built to celebrate retro adventure, combining the finest of timeless styling with the versatility and durability needed on the open road. Crafted from Halley Stevensons 12oz original and authentic Scottish waxed cotton for a luxury feel, Expedition then features a removable waterproof and thermal liner – built to weather whatever adventure you throw at it. Pre-fitted 5 piece D3O®️ armour keeps you safe whilst all of the components are also sourced from the finest brands, such as YKK®️
Merlin has worked with Scottish mill Halley Stevensons, who famously produce the silk wax cotton fabric used in other Merlin garments, as well as Belstaff and Barbour, to create a unique technical sub range within the Merlin Heritage range
