If you’re looking for the pinnacle of lightweight, ventilated summer riding jackets, then look no further. A pure hot weather jacket, the Chigwell Lite is constructed of 8oz Cotec Tech Wax cotton, significantly lighter, and stronger, with better temperature control than standard waxed cotton, and mesh panels aplenty, promoting that essential, refreshing airflow you need in the sweltering heat.
Classic and subtle styling neatly hides a full set of D3O Level 1 armour, with impact protection at the shoulders, elbows, and back included with the jacket as standard, the Chigwell Lite has achieved an impressive CE AA rating, meaning you have that reassurance in the way of protection, despite such a lightweight garment.
Don’t let oppressive high temperatures put you off your ride - in the Chigwell Lite is top of our summer riding essentials list, and it should be on yours too.

- Great Spring/Summer Jacket 0 people found this helpfulThis jacket is really versatile and like all Merlin products, great quality and styling. I wear it with a base layer on chilly days and over a T-shirt on hot Texas summer days. Great venting and fit is spot on. Although it’s mesh, feels very safe.
- Great jacket 0 people found this helpfulLove it!
- Plenty of airflow and protection. 0 people found this helpfulThe mesh keeps me cool during riding. Where I live it can get over 40 degrees, and this jacket helps with keeping me protected and cool. The inclusion of back and elbow protection is great. I would have liked shoulder protection, but there is an excess of material in the shoulders, so that will help a little.
- Looks great, feels super protective 0 people found this helpfulFit is amazing. Runs a little small but buy this jacket you won’t regret it.
- Mesh and cool but still stylish 0 people found this helpfulGreat jacket. I bought the Merlin Hixon full leather jacket for colder days and this one for hot days. The sizing of the two are the same. With slightly longer arms which are perfect for me. The hem hits right at my belt coming down slightly lower in the back. The mesh is great. I replaced the shoulder and elbow armor with ghost 3dO and you barely notice it. Great style and really well made jacket. Really appreciate it coming with all the armor and back plate even though I upgraded it. The diamond stitching is a nice touch.
