Product Information
Full details
The Merlin Edale II Cotec Motorcycle Jacket is designed for riders who demand traditional aesthetic appeal combined with modern safety technology. Featuring the innovative 8oz Halley Stevensons Cotec fabric, it offers significantly reduced weight compared to traditional waxed cotton while doubling the abrasion resistance, making it an excellent choice for versatile touring and commuting. One caveat to keep in mind is that despite its breathable membrane, its waxed cotton construction may feel warmer during high-intensity summer riding compared to dedicated mesh alternatives.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket features a Texland Humax waterproof membrane, which provides excellent protection against rain.
Can I remove the D3O armor?
Yes, the armor in the shoulders, elbows, and back can be removed if you need to clean the jacket or swap out armor pieces.
Does this jacket fit true to size?
The jacket is designed for a standard motorcycle fit; however, it is recommended to check the specific measurements against the sizing chart if you plan to wear thick mid-layers underneath.
What is the CE rating of this jacket?
The Merlin Edale II is certified to CE EN17092 Class AA, indicating it provides a high level of protection suitable for varied riding environments.
How do I use the jacket-to-jean connection?
Use the internal zipper located at the base of the jacket to attach it to compatible riding trousers, or use the provided euro hoop strap to secure it to your belt.
Troubleshooting
Armor feels stiff in cold weather
D3O armor is temperature-sensitive and will become more flexible as your body heat transfers to it while riding.
Water soaking through the outer layer
The wax coating has likely worn thin; apply a fresh layer of wax dressing to the outer fabric to restore its water-repellent finish.
Magnetic pockets are not closing securely
Ensure the magnetic area is free of debris, such as road grit or lint, which can prevent a strong seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Cotec fabric, avoid washing the jacket in a standard washing machine. Instead, clean the exterior using a damp sponge and cold water. For the removable thermal liner, follow the manufacturer's care label, typically involving a delicate cycle. Periodically, the jacket may require a re-waxing treatment to maintain its water-repellent properties, using a high-quality wax dressing specifically for Halley Stevensons products. When connecting to riding trousers, use the rear connecting zip, and secure the euro hoop strap through your belt to prevent the jacket from shifting during high-speed riding.
