The Merlin Leisure Moto Collection is redefining motorcycle apparel, seamlessly blending cutting-edge protective technology with contemporary fashion. For riders who demand both style and safety, the Sherpa Riding Jacket stands out as a prime example of this philosophy. Designed for the urban landscape and beyond, this jacket ensures you look as good off the bike as you do on it, without compromising on crucial protection.
Unrivalled Protection with D3O® Armour and Kevlar®
At the heart of the Sherpa jacket lies a commitment to rider safety. Constructed with a robust 220gsm Kevlar® lining, it provides exceptional abrasion resistance in key impact areas. Complementing this durable outer layer is the inclusion of D3O® Ghost armour in the shoulders and elbows. This revolutionary armour is known for its flexibility and comfort, remaining pliable during normal wear but instantly hardening upon impact to dissipate energy. For riders seeking maximum protection, the Sherpa jacket also features a pocket designed to accommodate the D3O® Viper Stealth back protector, allowing for an upgrade in back protection. This combination of Kevlar® and D3O® ensures the Sherpa jacket meets CE EN17092 Level ‘AA’ standards, providing a high level of protection you can trust.

Premium Materials for Comfort and Durability
The Merlin Sherpa Riding Jacket is crafted from 12.5oz Active Stretch Denim Cotton, offering both a stylish aesthetic and enhanced mobility on and off the bike. The jacket’s comfort is further amplified by a black Sherpa lining in the torso and collar, providing warmth and a soft touch, while a fixed mesh lining in the sleeves ensures breathability and prevents overheating during rides. These carefully selected materials not only contribute to the jacket’s protective qualities but also ensure long-lasting wear and a comfortable riding experience across various conditions.
