Halley Stevensons are the world's leading waxed cotton fabric innovators, manufacturers and suppliers of specialist weatherproofed canvas. They create outdoor fashion apparel fabric and quality luggage canvas at their Baltic Works plant in Dundee, Scotland, UK, and have been established since 1864. The first patent was awarded to the brand in 1910 for 'cleaning and waterproofing textiles', and now with over 150 years of experience they are able to create many thousands of meters of waxed cotton every year, with each roll produced to custom specifications. Merlin has been at the forefront of material sourcing and control processes for many years now, and found the process of transitioning to new prEN17092 standard for CE compliance straightforward.The Jacket has a Reissa Active waterproof/breathable membrane and fixed mesh lining. Reissa is a microporous hydrophilic polyurethane membrane which absorbs the water vapour and removes it through the clothing to the outside, allowing to be waterproof, windproof but also breathable. There is also added ventilation on the front and back so that an increased level of airflow can reach the rider, along with a 150g removable thermal lining for improved warmth.For protection, the Barton II Jacket from Merlin has D30 shoulder and elbow protectors pre-fitted (CE compliance to EN1621-1:2012), and there is a pocket for a back protector to be added if required (D30 bought separately). D30 is a global brand that provides high-quality protection for use in sports, the military and the motorcycle industry. They use patented technologies to create materials that have a high shock absorption by locking together, but when in their raw form are soft and flexible for increased rider comfort. The aim of the protection is to dissipate impact energy and reduce transmitted force. D30 is the most premium Motorcycle passive armour system on the market which is softer and more flexible than other CE parts, and is also thinner and better fitting for the rider. D30 is a soft and flexible material that is able to lock together to absorb and dissipate impact energy, and then returning to their flexible state. They are fully REACH compliant, with real world testing and development from a comprehensive team including one of the most successful road racers, Michael Dunlop.For additional rider comfort, this Jacket has an internal draw hem cord waist adjustment and adjustable collar. Additional features include side entry hand warmer pockets and a Jacket to Jean connecting zipper for use with Merlin pants.
