FUEL BUNKER JACKET
Explore the rugged yet stylish design of the Fuel Bunker Jacket, a 3/4-length garment inspired by military and early motorcycle jackets. Crafted from wet wax repellent canvas, the outer fabric combines 40% polyamide and 60% cotton, ensuring durability and water resistance. The jacket features reinforced shoulder and elbow panels made from 100% polyester 300D, offering enhanced abrasion resistance in areas prone to falls.
This versatile jacket is equipped for the coldest seasons with its removable winter down lining, providing warmth and comfort. The twill lining fabric, composed of 98% cotton and 2% spandex, adds a touch of flexibility and style. The Bunker Jacket is not just a seasonal piece; it's a timeless blend of heritage and modern functionality, designed to withstand the test of time.
MERLIN EDALE 2 JACKET
Ever since its introduction in 2019, the Edale has been one of the more popular wax cotton jackets in our range. Merlin have now reworked their bestselling jacket and tweaked and improved a few things, without straying too far from the original’s timeless looks.
The Edale 2 is made from 8oz Cotec, a Merlin-exclusive wax cotton fabric that is half the weight but twice the strength of traditional waxed cotton. The abrasion resistant outer is backed up by a full kit of D3O armour, including back protector. The Edale 2 has an impressive CE Level AA rating.
Do you like the sound of this, but prefer a shorter cut jacket? Check out the Perton 2. Merlin also caters to female riders with the Harriet 2, an equally versatile, classy jacket.

BELSTAFF BROOKLANDS PRO WAX JACKET
The Belstaff Brooklands is a true motorcycling icon and is regarded by many as the quintessential short-cut motorcycle jacket. This updated Brooklands Pro edition updates the design with an impressive safety specification and modern functionality but with the same go-everywhere attitude and timeless styling.
Staying true to the much loved original formula, the Brooklands Pro is a short length, unobtrusive jacket with a 10oz Wax Cotton outer. This fabric in itself is already very sturdy by nature and passes the new CE abrasion tests on itself, but Belstaff backed it up with Cordura panels in the high impact areas to offer even better abrasion resistance. The shoulders and elbows come equipped with D3O CE certified armour and there is a pocket for an optional back protector.
If you prefer a classic, three quarter length, four pocket design that ticks all the same boxes as the Brooklands, the iconic Belstaff Trialmaster Pro should be on top of your list.
MERLIN FLARE URBAN JACKET
The Flare Urban Jacket from Merlin offers a blend of urban style with high tech features for riders. Its clean, sharp appearance is designed to be fashionable both on and off the bike, avoiding an overly moto-centric look. The soft brushed polyester outer shell is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating and laminated for a high-performance 8k/5k waterproof and breathability rating. The jacket comes equipped with D3O® LP1 armour on the shoulders and elbows, and there's space in the back for the D3O® Viper protector, providing ample protection.

KNOX DUAL PRO 3 IN 1 JACKET
The Knox Dual Pro jacket is a true 3-1 garment that allows you to tackle all riding conditions with ease and confidence. Designed as part of the Knox Seasonless collection to pair seamlessly with the range of Knox Armoured shirts, the Dual Pro is a versatile and sustainable way to tackle year-round riding.
The tough, technical, soft-shell outer sports a clean and universal aesthetic, and a waterproof and breathable 10K membrane for harsh weather conditions. It’s backed by a cosy micro-fleece, adding rider comfort and moisture-wicking properties for temperature regulation. The easily-detachable thermal liner fastens using soft press studs and stretch fabric for optimum positioning. THERMOLITE® Plus technology utilises durable hollow-fibres that create an insulating layer of warm air within the garment that keeps you warm in gruelling weather conditions. Wear just the shell, just the liner, or both together for the ultimate selection of methods to combat the elements.
If you own an armoured shirt and are looking for way to extend its use all year round, then the Knox Dual Pro should be your first port of call. No longer is there a need to fill your wardrobe with a different jacket for every riding season - every base is covered thanks to the Knox Seasonless system, offering riders true freedom and versatility to combat whatever weather comes their way.
