Description

Timeless British Design, Refined for Today’s Rider

The Merlin Alton II Leather Jacket carries forward the iconic styling of its predecessor while incorporating meaningful enhancements shaped by real-world rider feedback. With its clean lines, classic proportions, and subtle detailing, this jacket embodies traditional British motorcycling heritage with a modern performance edge.

Premium Aniline Leather Craftsmanship

Crafted from soft, supple aniline leather measuring 1.2–1.3mm in thickness, the Alton II delivers a luxurious feel with outstanding durability. The leather naturally conforms to the rider over time, offering comfort without sacrificing protection. British Marton Mills tartan liner trim adds a refined heritage touch to the interior.

Adaptable Comfort for Changing Conditions

Designed for 2–3 season riding, the Alton II features a removable 100g thermal liner for cooler conditions and a fixed mesh lining that promotes airflow during warmer rides. Multiple adjustment points at the cuffs and hem allow riders to fine-tune the fit, while actively expanding rear shoulder panels ensure unrestricted movement.

Advanced Ventilation for Warm Weather Riding

Enhanced airflow is a key improvement in the Alton II. Mesh-backed chest vents, rear exhaust vents, and perforated leather at the underarms work together to regulate temperature, making this jacket ideal for extended rides in varying climates.

D3O Protection with CE Certification

Safety is built into the design with included D3O LP1 tri-vented armor at the shoulders and elbows, providing flexible impact protection that hardens on impact. A dedicated pocket allows for the addition of a D3O Viper Stealth back protector (sold separately). The jacket is CE approved to EN 17092 as a Class AA garment, meeting modern safety standards.

Functional Details with Premium Finishing

From silver Merlin-branded buttons to durable YKK zippers and refined accent stitching along the arms and forearms, every detail of the Alton II reflects quality craftsmanship. Practical pocket placement and jacket-to-jean connection options further enhance everyday riding functionality.
