Merlin have launched their new collection, which has started to roll out into retailers worldwide.

Titled ‘Explorer’, the collection sits alongside the existing Heritage and Leisure Moto offerings and provides riders with durable adventure gear designed in Merlin’s signature styling. As motorcycles become ever-more versatile, riders need the kit they wear to be versatile too.

Explorer products have been designed to cover every eventuality, perfect for riders who need their gear to do a little bit of everything. The collection offers rugged styling, durability and protection while incorporating the signature Merlin styling using the finest materials and components, including Halley Stevensons® waxed cotton, D3O® armour and Cordura®. From city cruising to off-road excursions, the Explorer range has been designed to tackle anything.

The rise of motorcycling amongst the younger generation also sits behind the collection. Instagram’s growing heritage scene and the increase of motorcycling in popular culture means younger people are becoming inspired to get out on two wheels now more than ever, and they don’t want to have to choose between comfort and style.

Explorer is a welcomed addition to an already successful line of motorcycle apparel at Merlin. This comprehensive collection has been built with the rider at the forefront of the design process, having been designed for riders, by riders.

James Franklin, Brand and Product Director, said of the Explorer collection: “We are very excited about the new collection and early indications from the motorcycle industry have been very strong. Many are saying that Explorer is the ideal hybrid range, blending together all the features needed for long-haul travel but with a Merlin twist. We continue to team up with our trusted material and component partners to offer the highest quality while remaining at a competitive price point.”

The initial collection includes nine brand-new garments, which will be joined by the existing Expedition and Chigwell Utility jackets, Lombard wax trousers, Mojave Adventure boots and Minworth Heated heritage gloves to complete the launching Explorer collection.
