The Merlin Chigwell Lite delivers a AA CE rating in a package that will breath as well as any mesh jacket on the market. Unlike most of those jackets, however, the Merlin flies far further under the proverbial radar (eg: It’s not Neon yellow, and doesn’t say JOE ROCKET, or even REVIT!, down the sleeve).
Thanks to its use of natural Haley Stevens waxed cottons and tonal mesh panels, this is a motorcycle jacket in civilian-ish clothing.
The Chigwell comes with a full complement of D3O armor – yes even the back protector is included, which is impressive at this price.
This jacket hits a unique note with some quilting on the shoulders, a sensible array of pockets, a flattering silhouette, and utterly see-through ventilation panels. Get em while it’s hot!
*The only downside of the Chigwell is that supply is limited. We just took receipt of a decent batch of sizes in both the black and the olive, and can guaranteed within a couple weeks of this late July posting our on-hand inventory will be picked over and sold out for the duration of the season.
