MERLIN CHIGWELL LITE JACKET

Designed to be worn in even the hottest of climates, the Chigwell Lite's fully meshed front and back, including the front and back of the sleeves, for optimum airflow. Made from the exclusive Halley Stevensons-Merlin wax cotton ‘Cotec’, it’s lighter than a traditional wax (only 8oz rather than the 12oz of a traditional wax cotton), but still has a five-piece set of D3O armour (shoulders, elbows and back), and a short YKK connection zip or a Euro jacket-tojeans connection hoop allows easy attachment to jeans.

They’re available in black or olive, in sizes S-3XL, and cost £179.99 from anywhere that stocks the Merlin Bike gear range or merlinbikegear. com
