The second generation of our hugely popular Edale waxed cotton motorcycle jacket has arrived. With the greatest features of our first-generation, this updated garment sees improvements fed back from years of consumer testing. Constructed from 8oz Cotec, this Halley Stevensons-Merlin collaboration fabric remains exclusive to Merlin and is half the weight but twice the strength of our traditional waxed cotton. Edale II makes use of Outlast temperature regulating technology within the thermal liner, which can be zipped out if necessary and the garment has even better breathability with an up-spec Humax waterproof membrane. Other improvements include fit, closures, armour positioning, waterproof external pockets, trims and accessories.

What is Cotec? Developed in partnership with Scottish wax cotton experts, Halley Stevensons, Cotec is a unique fabric within the Merlin Heritage range. The fabric has a soft, slightly oily/damp handle with a modern matt appearance. The cloth maintains a clean, uniform appearance. This unique fabric is a modern interpretation of traditional silk wax, with better breathability, ease of use in the long term and better safety performance. The fabric has a finished 8oz weight in contrast to the traditional silkwax which has a finished weight of 12oz.
