Merlin Barton II Motorcycle Jacket

The Merlin Barton II is based on the immensely popular Sandon jacket. Merlin put an already impressive wax cotton jacket under some serious scrutiny and tweaked it based on customer feedback.

The result is one of the most versatile "modern retro" jackets we've seen so far. The upgraded Barton II now includes a 150gm removable thermal liner and Level 1 D3O armour to secure it CE Level A approval. This is a massive upgrade from the original, giving you the extra peace of mind that the safety features live up to stringent CE testing.

Constructed from original Halley Stevensons 12oz silk wax cotton, the sturdy outer layer has water repellent properties but is backed up by a completely waterproof Reissa Active membrane. The Barton II has vents on the chest and back so, on a hot summer's ride you can easily remove the liner and provide yourself with some very welcome airflow. This makes the Barton II one of those precious jackets you can use all year round.

The fit is much improved over the Sandon, with a slightly longer cut and a more refined fit on the arms and hem.
