Merlin Mahala Explorer Jacket – Black / Olive

The Merlin Explorer collection offers rugged styling with an adventurous attitude, crafted using the finest materials and components. The Mahala Explorer jacket offers a traditional adventure jacket style with all of the finesse and quality you would expect from Merlin. The heritage two-tone outer is crafted from an extremely abrasion-resistant Cordura® cotton outer that has received a DWR water repellent treatment, meaning lighter rain will simply roll off.

For weather protection, the Mahala features a Reissa waterproof and breathable drop membrane to keep you comfortable and dry in the worst conditions, and a 125g thermal full body liner for colder climates, both of which are removable for when the rain stops and the temperature rises. The jacket comes pre-fitted with a 7-piece set of Level 1 D3O® armour – that’s impact protection at your shoulders, elbows, back, and chest, more than you will find on most comparable jackets.

The Mahala features ventilation at the front, with exhaust vents at the back for optimum temperature control, necessary on any true adventure. The sculpted front hem is ergonomically designed for comfort in a range of riding positions, and adjustable tabs throughout the jacket mean it’s easy to achieve that perfect fit. There’s also plenty of room for all your travel essentials in the abundant storage pockets, and a dual-length trouser connecting zipper provides next to universal compatibility.

Designed to marry perfectly with the Mahala Trousers for the full experience, this jacket is destined to accompany you for thousands of miles across whatever terrain you dare take it. Or – possibly more likely – a daily commuting warrior whatever the weather. Either way, this is an incredibly versatile, rugged, and well made bit of kit that is seriously worth your consideration.
