FAQs
Does this jacket come with a back protector?
No, it includes an integrated pocket for a D3O Viper back protector, which must be purchased separately.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Merlin Prospect is designed for maximum airflow and does not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I wear this in the spring or autumn?
It is best suited for warm weather. In cooler temperatures, you would need to wear additional thermal layers underneath, though the mesh construction will still allow significant airflow.
How do I know if the armor is CE Level 2?
The included Armanox protectors are certified to CE Level 2 standards, which indicates they provide a higher level of impact absorption than standard Level 1 armor.
What is the best way to clean the mesh material?
Remove all armor and hand wash the jacket using mild soap and cool water, then hang to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Armor feels like it is shifting during the ride
Adjust the bicep and forearm straps to ensure the elbow protectors are centered on your joints.
Zipper feels tight or difficult to move
Clean any road grit from the zipper teeth and apply a light silicone-based lubricant.
Jacket feels loose when riding at speed
Tighten the adjustable waist straps to secure the jacket against your torso and minimize wind resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, check that the shoulder and elbow armor are properly seated in their respective internal pockets before every ride. If you choose to upgrade, the rear pocket is compatible with D3O Viper back protectors. For cleaning, hand wash the jacket in cool water with a mild detergent, ensuring all armor is removed first. Allow the polyester material to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the YKK zippers for any debris and apply a zipper lubricant if they become stiff. Ensure the waist and arm straps are tightened to a snug fit before mounting your motorcycle to prevent the armor from shifting during a potential impact.
