Description Merlin Heritage Collection The Merlin Heritage Collection seamlessly blends classic styling with modern protection to create a versatile selection of motorcycle clothing. We use a range of different market-leading materials, including Halley Stevensons® Waxed Cotton, D3O® armour and Reissa® waterproofing to ensure the highest quality. Our heritage collection also expands into leather garments for retro riders who want the old-school looks minus the signature feel of waxed cotton. Combining the best of British-made motorcycle clothing, our Heritage line offers a wide variety for both men and women. Merlin Bobber CE Riding Vest Introducing a unique CE riding vest full of character. Built to go over a riding shirt, hoody or jacket, the Bobber vest has been made from a Scottish, Halley Stevensons antique finish waxed cotton. Over time, the desert finish will crack and distress to reveal a unique pattern to each vest. The Bobber vest is also CE certified to level 6 (over jacket without sleeves), meaning that it meets the strict CE requirements for abrasion, tear and seam strength. Riders benefit from a pre-fitted and removable D3O Ghost Viper back protector, a lightweight 80gsm thermal lining and pockets. As a waxed cotton product, this is the perfect wind breaker, thermal and water repellent option. The water repellency comes in the form of a fluorocarbon C0 free treatment (PFA free) through the use of plant based wax. Caring for your Bobber Vest To care for your wax cotton vest, begin by lightly brushing off any dirt or soil, and use a cold damp cloth if necessary to wipe down the jacket. Clean it in this way regularly to maintain its appearance, but don’t be too harsh as the wax will be removed. You can re-wax the vest with our Merlin Wax Cotton Tin when it loses its waxed finish and water begins to soak into the cotton rather than bead off. Please do not machine wash, tumble dry or use hot water on your vest. Full care information can be found in our dedicated care guide: Merlin Wash & Care.
