Technical Waxed Cotton Performance and Heritage

The Merlin Edale II Jacket represents the second generation of a flagship technical garment, refined through years of global rider feedback. Constructed from exclusive 8oz Cotec fabric developed with Halley Stevensons, this jacket is half the weight but twice the strength of traditional waxed cotton. It provides comprehensive all-season protection by combining a high-specification Humax waterproof membrane with an Outlast temperature-regulating thermal liner.

Materials and Construction

The Edale II utilises a sophisticated multi-layer construction designed for durability and comfort. The use of Merlin-branded antique hardware and YKK zippers throughout ensures mechanical longevity, while the diamond-quilted panels on the arms and chest provide a classic aesthetic without compromising structural integrity. For night-time visibility, a Nightgloss reflective turn-up is integrated into the collar, ensuring the rider remains conspicuous in low-light environments.
