The Merlin Bamford COTEC Wax Jacket combines traditional British heritage styling with outstanding modern motorcycle protection. Made from 8oz Halley Stevensons COTEC technical waxed cotton with Cordura-reinforced interlining panels, it is CE-certified to EN 17092 Class AAA and comes with D3O shoulder, elbow and back protectors already fitted.

A Humax 15K waterproof and breathable membrane, removable full-body 125g thermal liner and front and rear ventilation help you stay comfortable through changing riding conditions. The expanding side hem and adjustable waist provide flexibility on the bike, while magnetic-closure hand-warmer pockets, leather-bound edges, antique-brass-effect YKK zips and Marton Mills tartan detailing complete its classic heritage character.
