Merlin’s a British brand that has a new jacket for retro riders to look at. The design of the Shenstone was heavily influenced by the waxed cotton jackets that raiders from yesteryear wore on their trips.
Being a modern piece of kit, however, the jacket is not retro when it comes to protection, coming with D3O on the shoulders, elbows, and back along with conveniently-placed mesh panels. As such, the jacket is a perfect fit for summer riding.
