Premium Leather and Mesh Summer Road Protection

The Merlin Shenstone D3O® Gloves combine premium cowhide leather with high-quality mesh ventilation to create a highly breathable summer riding glove. Designed for warm-weather performance, these gloves feature D3O® knuckle protection and a moisture-controlling polyester lining to ensure rider comfort during urban commutes or weekend cruises. The hybrid construction balances classic styling with modern safety standards, providing a versatile solution for riders who prioritise airflow and protection.

Key Features

• Premium Cowhide Leather: Constructed with a high-grade leather upper for superior abrasion resistance and long-term durability.
• High-Flow Mesh Panels: Integrated mesh ventilation panels allow for maximum airflow to keep hands cool in hot conditions.
• D3O® Knuckle Protection: Features impact-absorbing D3O® armour that remains flexible during use but hardens on impact.
• CE Certified Safety: Independently tested and certified to the EN13594 standard for peace of mind on the road.
• Accordion Stretch Panels: Active stretch zones on the fingers provide improved flexibility and unrestricted movement when operating controls.
• External Finger Seams: Seams are positioned on the outside of the fingers to eliminate internal pressure points and enhance comfort.
• Wrap-Around Velcro® Strap: A secure wrist closure system designed without a gusset to reduce bulk and fit neatly under jacket cuffs.
• Punched Leather Detailing: Perforated leather panels assist with breathability and moisture management in high-heat areas.

Materials & Construction

The Shenstone gloves are engineered with a focus on tactile feedback and temperature regulation. The combination of leather overlays for reinforcement and a smooth polyester lining helps manage moisture while providing a consistent feel against the skin. By utilising external seams on the palms and fingers, Merlin has optimised the internal fit to prevent irritation and chafing during extended periods in the saddle.
