FAQs
Does this jacket come with back protection?
The jacket includes a dedicated pocket for a back protector, but the protector itself is sold separately.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Merlin Prospect Air is designed for maximum ventilation and does not feature a waterproof membrane.
How do I choose the correct size?
The jacket comes in standard adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your chest and match it against the manufacturer's size chart to ensure a proper fit for the armor.
What is the CE rating for the included armor?
The included Armanox shoulder and elbow protectors are rated at CE Level 2.
Can this be worn in cold weather?
Because of the high-flow mesh construction, this jacket is best suited for warm to hot weather and would require an additional windproof layer underneath for cooler temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels loose or flaps at speed
Utilize the bicep, forearm, and waist adjustment straps to tighten the fit to your specific body shape.
Armor feels improperly positioned
Adjust the jacket while standing to ensure the shoulder cups are centered; if they shift while riding, re-tighten the arm adjustment straps.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and consider applying a dry silicone lubricant to the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper performance, adjust the waist and arm straps while wearing the jacket in a seated riding position to mimic bike ergonomics. The jacket is compatible with the standard D3O Viper back protector, which should be inserted into the rear pocket before use. For care, gently wipe down the polyester exterior with a damp cloth to remove road grime. Avoid machine washing with harsh detergents as this may affect the integrity of the mesh. Always inspect the armor pockets for debris periodically to ensure the protectors remain properly seated.
