Heritage Styling with Advanced Technical Performance

The Merlin Edale Jacket is a full-length contemporary waxed cotton garment that blends traditional British aesthetic with modern protective technology. Constructed using genuine 8oz Cotec fabric from Scottish mill Halley Stevensons, this jacket offers a lighter, more breathable, and stronger alternative to traditional wax cotton. It is engineered for versatile all-season performance, featuring a dual-layer system with a waterproof Reissa Active membrane and a removable Outlast climate control thermal liner.

Key Features

• Halley Stevensons Cotec Fabric: Utilises a 8oz wax cotton developed specifically for Merlin to provide superior strength and breathability compared to standard wax.
• Climate Control Management: Includes a removable Outlast thermal lining that actively regulates body temperature by absorbing and releasing heat.
• Weather Protection: Integrated with a Reissa Active waterproof and breathable lining to ensure rider comfort in adverse conditions.
• Advanced Impact Armour: Equipped with D3O® shoulder and elbow protectors for flexible, low-profile safety.
• Dynamic Ventilation: Features zip-open ventilation panels at both the front and rear to manage airflow during warmer rides.
• Adjustable Fitment: Incorporates an internal drawcord at the hem and waist to allow for a tailored silhouette and improved wind sealing.
• Storage Functionality: Designed with side-entry hand warmer pockets and multiple storage points for touring essentials.
• Back Protector Ready: Includes a dedicated internal pocket designed to house a D3O® back protector.

Materials & Construction

The Edale prioritises durability and rider comfort through its sophisticated material composition. The Cotec fabric maintains the classic heritage look while offering a softer feel and improved abrasion resistance. To ensure long-distance practicality, the jacket features a jacket-to-pants attachment point, preventing the garment from riding up and maintaining the integrity of the rider's protective coverage.
