Merlin Edale D3O® Jacket Olive

The Merlin Edale is a full-length waxed cotton motorcycle jacket that pairs heritage British styling with current protective standards. It is cut from genuine Scottish Halley Stevensons Cotec 8oz wax fabric and backed by a Reissa Active waterproof, breathable membrane, with a removable Outlast temperature-regulating liner for changeable conditions.

D3O LP1 shoulder and elbow armour comes pre-fitted and the jacket is certified to CE EN 17092 Level AA, so the classic look does not come at the cost of protection. Zip-open vents front and rear, drawcord waist adjustment and an adjustable collar let you fine-tune fit and airflow through the day.

It suits riders on classic, retro and modern roadsters who want a jacket that works on the bike and still looks at home off it. Finished in olive with antique hardware, YKK zips throughout and a Marton Mills Scottish tartan lining trim.

Remove the Outlast thermal liner and take out the D3O shoulder and elbow protectors before any cleaning.
Do not machine wash, tumble dry or dry clean the waxed cotton outer, and keep detergents, solvents and bleach away from it — these strip the wax finish.
Sponge the outer clean with cold water and a soft cloth or brush, working dirt off gently, then hang to dry naturally.
Dry away from direct heat sources such as radiators, heaters and hot sun; high heat can melt and redistribute the wax.
Re-proof the fabric with a suitable wax dressing when water stops beading and the fabric looks dry or pale at the seams and wear points — frequency depends on how much you ride in the wet.
Wash the D3O protectors by hand in cool water with mild soap if needed, air dry fully, and refit them before riding.
Check that the armour sits correctly over the shoulders and elbows each time you put the jacket on, and adjust the collar and waist drawcord so the fit is snug and the armour cannot shift.
Open the front and rear vent zips in warm weather and close them in the wet to keep the Reissa membrane working as intended.
Use the short connecting zip or the Euro connector hoop to join the jacket to compatible riding pants so it cannot ride up in a slide.
Store on a wide hanger in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; avoid folding the waxed fabric for long periods and keep it clear of light-coloured furnishings and upholstery, as wax can transfer.
