Protective Single Layer Denim for Women

The Merlin Women's Soho D3O® Jeans combine a relaxed silhouette with high-performance engineering to provide a comfortable alternative to traditional riding gear. Constructed from a single layer of stretch cotton woven with high-strength UHMWPE fibres, these jeans achieve a CE Level AAA safety rating while maintaining the look and feel of casual street wear. Each pair features a durable water-repellent finish and includes premium D3O® Diablo impact protection for both the hips and knees.

Construction & Safety

The Soho jeans are engineered for maximum protection without the bulk of traditional lined trousers. By weaving the protective UHMWPE fibres directly into the cotton stretch denim, Merlin has created a garment that offers high-level slide protection while remaining breathable and flexible. The inclusion of D3O® Diablo armour ensures that impact zones are protected by thin, flexible protectors that harden only on impact, preserving the jean's relaxed aesthetic.
