Urban Aesthetic with Cold Weather Protection

The Merlin Codsall Jacket translates contemporary baffle-style fashion into a road-ready garment designed for colder riding conditions. Constructed from a durable poly-cotton outer with a water-repellent finish, this jacket provides significant thermal insulation across the torso and sleeves while maintaining a casual silhouette. Despite its streetwear appearance, the Codsall is a fully certified piece of protective equipment featuring high-performance D3O® Ghost armour and a reinforced construction.

Key Features

• High-Power Insulation: Features 800 synthetic power fill in the torso and 600 power fill in the sleeves for superior heat retention.
• Durable Water Repellency: Treated with a DWR finish to shed light rain and road spray during unpredictable weather.
• D3O® Ghost Armour: Pre-fitted with flexible, low-profile D3O® Ghost shoulder and elbow protectors for "fit and forget" impact protection.
• AA Certified Protection: Achieves a CE Level AA rating, ensuring the garment meets stringent safety standards for abrasion and tear resistance.
• Premium Hardware: Equipped with genuine YKK zippers throughout and antique Merlin-branded snap studs for long-term durability.
• Adjustable Fit: Includes two-point snap adjustments at the cuffs and hem, alongside a dropped rear hem for improved coverage in the riding position.
• Storage Options: Multiple pockets including two large chest patches, two lower hand pockets, and an internal zipped pocket for essentials.
• Jacket-to-Jean Connection: Integrated short connecting zipper allows for secure attachment to Merlin trousers to prevent jacket lift.

Construction & Thermal Performance

The Codsall is engineered for the rider who requires warmth without the bulk of a traditional touring jacket. The 300gsm polyester cotton outer is paired with a fixed poly-cotton and mesh lining to manage airflow and comfort against the skin. Its square baffle design effectively stabilises the synthetic fill, preventing cold spots and ensuring consistent thermal performance across the entire upper body during winter transits.
