Merlin Edale II Cotec Wax D3O Mens Jacket - Black

Comfortable, versatile, all the usual protective features, rugged construction and plenty of storage. Living in Scotland means I needed something for all weather's, warm, and wind resistant, this fits the bill perfectly, even has removable liner for the 2 days of Scottish summer.
Fits nicely with plenty of adjustment.
It looks great too and suits my style, arrived promptly as described, well packaged and hassle free, great service. I'll be back.

Very impressed with this jacket, I was looking for something different for an adventure bike, paired with jeans this fits the bill, extremely well built feels very solid, needs the recommended 5hrs bedding in time recommended but just gets more and more comfortable, protection feels really good and solid, removable liner is spot on (doesn't allow many layers underneath so be careful on sizing) very impressed

I bought this in may for a planned group ride out . The weather was predicted to be unusually warm ( it was ) so I was looking for something a tad lighter for warmer climes yet sturdy enough to hold out a Welsh deluge . The Edale has well lived up to my expectations in light to heavy showers , I chilly starts to warmer days . The pickets have really fine poly zips , easy to do/undue and all pockets fold over similar to a canoe bag top effect with synthetic liners that are bound to keep the rain out in any deluge. And there's plenty of em ! In fact I keep finding ones I didn't know whre there inc one on the sleeve for quick access to change keys etc & two side pockets I stuff me gloves in when fueling up ( they have magnetic fasteners too) . After a recent spin down the M6 I found the jacket was billowing a bit , but this was soon rectified by tightening the inner drawstring (another recent discovery)
I like the buckle and 2 prestud strap on the collar not jus cus it looks good but actually fasteners easily for a change . The Hally Salverson wax material is very similar to the barbour type fabric , yet a lit softer in feel and significantly lighter compared to my barbour jacket , the Jacket can also be re-waxed with a tin of reprofer available to do yourself.
The retro looking jacket goes well with my modern classic triumph Bonneville , and very comfortable to wear . There is a techy liner which holds in heat and apparently redistributes when body temperature drops , although I took it out from the start as it would have been really too warm
Only negatives . - I think this jacket even with liner removed may be too warm for those rare heatwaves . And occasionally I find myself sitting on the rear of the jacket due to its length, however I prefer plenty of back cover .
Overall a thoroughly well thought out design with top spec fabric and fasteners and of course it looks the dogs gonads in style
A good all rounder Highley recommended
