Casual Street Aesthetic with AA Safety Performance

The Merlin Hamlin II Hoody evolves a classic staple of the Merlin range, refining the fit and protection for the modern street rider. Constructed from heavy-duty brushed fleece cotton reinforced with a Kevlar® fibre twill lining, this hoody achieves a CE Level AA safety rating while maintaining a relaxed, casual appearance. Improvements to the sleeve tailoring and overall length ensure the pre-fitted Armanox armour stays securely in place during transit.

Key Features

• Kevlar® Fibre Lining: High-strength twill lining provides essential abrasion resistance beneath the cotton shell.
• Armanox CE Armour: Pre-fitted impact protection at the shoulders and elbows for immediate track-side safety.
• AA Certified Protection: Independently tested to meet the EN17092 Level AA standard for motorcycle garments.
• Double Front Zipper: Features a centre front double zip with mesh lining to allow controlled airflow while riding.
• Improved Rider Fit: Refined arm tailoring and pre-curved sleeves reduce fabric bulk and prevent armour movement.
• Secure Storage: Includes two kangaroo pockets with a hidden internal zipped pocket for valuables.
• Snap Down Hood: Integrated polyester hood with drawcord and a snap-down point to prevent flapping at high speeds.
• Connection Options: Equipped with both a Euro hoop strap and a short YKK jacket-to-jean connecting zipper.

Refined Comfort and Construction

The Hamlin II prioritises rider comfort through the use of high-quality matt polyester brushed shell materials and elasticated ribbing at the cuffs and hem. The interior features a fixed mesh lining to aid breathability, making it suitable for multi-season use across various urban environments. For enhanced visibility, a dark reflective stripe is integrated into the design, providing a subtle safety feature that only reacts when hit by light.
