MERLIN MIA WOMENS LEATHER JACKET - BLACK

The Merlin Mia is a women's motorcycle jacket with a classic look and modern protective features. British brand Merlin has been making high quality, protective motorcycle gear at impressive price points for the past few years and they keep upping their game with every new collection. The Mia is the perfect example of that: this is a sublime leather motorcycle jacket which genuinely gives you a lot of value for money. It is constructed from beautifully soft aniline leather, something you'll generally only find in way more expensive jackets. The aniline dyeing process means the leather stays soft and supple and any blemishes in the hide aren't simply painted over. Hence only high-quality leather can be used, and that is obvious as soon as you get your hands on the Mia.

This leather is not just soft, it is also highly abrasion-resistant. Combine this protective outer layer with some top-notch D3O impact-absorbing armour (shoulders and elbows are included, the back protector is optional), and you've got yourself a proper roadworthy motorcycle jacket, with a CE Level AA safety rating to match. The slim, flexible nature of the D3O armour means that Merlin managed to make the Mia a form-fitting jacket that doesn't look bulky yet will be comfortable in any riding position.

The simple elegance of the Mia is complemented by the cross quilt stitch detailing on the shoulders to give it some subtle finery. The fully removable thermal gilet features the Marton Mills Scottish tartan, adding not only practical versatility but a delightfully traditional embellishment.
