Merlin AW ' 21 range
Following our piece in the last issue about its ' Expedition ' wax cotton jacket , we have news from British apparel specialist Merlin about its autumn / winter 2021 collection . Highlights of the comprehensive new ' Explorer ' range include the D3O protection equipped ' Nomad ' jacket . The multi-season ' Nomad ' jacket is constructed from Cotec - a technical waxed cotton made by Halley Stevensons and developed in partnership with Merlin . Cotec is lighter in weight and more breathable than traditional waxed cotton ( 8 oz vs the traditional 12 oz ), making it a good choice for warmer as well as northern European climates . A seven-piece D3O armour set is pre-fitted to the shoulders , elbows , back and chest ; a zip-out Reissa waterproof membrane is attached to a 125 g thermal liner . Zipped vents on the chest can be opened and the weatherproof liner removed for full , allweather wearability .
