The Merlin Leisure Moto Collection is designed for the modern rider who values both protection and style. This collection seamlessly blends cutting-edge motorcycle safety technology with the latest fashion trends, offering a complete urban motorcycle apparel solution from head to toe. Using premium materials like Kevlar® and D3O® armour, the Leisure Moto range includes riding hoodies, shirts, denim motorcycle jeans, and casual motorcycle boots, all designed to transition effortlessly from the bike to everyday life.
The Merlin Sherpa Riding Jacket is a standout piece in this collection. Understanding the need for riders to look good both on and off their motorcycles, the Sherpa jacket perfectly embodies the Leisure Moto ethos. It combines high-street fashion aesthetics with uncompromised protective motorcycle clothing technology.
Unrivalled Protection Meets Urban Style
The Sherpa jacket doesn’t sacrifice safety for style. It features a robust 220gsm Kevlar® lining for superior abrasion resistance. For impact protection, it’s equipped with flexible D3O® Ghost armour in the shoulders and elbows, known for its low profile and high performance. Furthermore, the jacket includes a pocket ready to accommodate a D3O® Viper Stealth back protector, allowing riders to easily upgrade their back protection. This combination of features ensures that the Sherpa jacket achieves a CE EN17092 Level ‘AA’ rating, signifying a high level of protection in a stylish package.
Designed for Comfort and Practicality
Beyond protection, the Sherpa jacket is designed for rider comfort and everyday practicality. The jacket is constructed from 12.5oz Active Stretch Denim Cotton, providing both durability and flexibility for comfortable movement on and off the bike. The black Sherpa lining in the torso and collar adds warmth and a stylish edge, while a fixed mesh lining in the sleeves enhances breathability.
Practical features include YKK® zipped side entry pockets for secure storage and front chest pockets with Merlin branded snap studs for easy access. The snap down collar ensures a secure fit at higher speeds, and expanding rear shoulder panels improve riding comfort by allowing for a greater range of motion. Adjustable hem and cuffs allow for a customized fit. For added convenience on longer rides, the jacket includes a jacket-to-jean connecting zipper and a Euro hoop connecting strap, preventing the jacket from riding up.
Caring for Your Sherpa Jacket
Maintaining your Merlin Sherpa jacket is straightforward. Before cleaning, remove all armour from the shoulders, elbows, and back, as well as any removable inner liners. For general cleaning, use a lint-free brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, hand-wash the jacket in lukewarm water with a mild or diluted detergent. For complete care instructions, refer to the Merlin Wash & Care guide available online.
