Merlin Barton II 오토바이 왁스 재킷

A jacket that pairs perfectly with scramblers and naked bikes. Despite its refined classic sports look, it offers high waterproofing, insulation, and breathability. It handles Japan's spring and summer temperatures, as well as touring in mountainous areas, where temperatures can range from 15°C to 25°C. Even at 25°C, the breathability kept me comfortable while riding. While it lacks underarm vents, loosening the cuffs allows adequate airflow without flapping. Naturally, it includes a thermal liner for winter use. I also own a Belstaff waxed cotton jacket, but it lacks breathability; the Merlin design excels in this regard. I debated between the Parton 2, which has a similar design but uses lighter materials, but ultimately chose the Barton 2 because I liked its neck design, the treatment of the lower back, and the storm flap that enhances water resistance while riding. The Belstaff didn't have much smell, but the Barton 2 has a strong waxed cotton scent that might bother some people. It might settle down after some use.
I'm 168cm tall, weigh 70kg, and have a 100cm chest circumference; I chose size M. It fits perfectly since I wear full protective gear and additional mid-layers underneath. If you prefer a tighter fit, one size down would be better.
I was surprised by the delivery in just 3 days despite it being an international shipment to Japan. Thank you, FC-MOTO. Shipping cost was ¥5,400, customs duty ¥2,300, and consumption tax ¥2,600. Note these additional costs when ordering from Japan.

I just finished a 1.300 km trip in all weather, including heavy rain and this jacket is superb. I was dry and warm the whole time and very comfortable. I'm a huge fan of of Merlin products now, I have this jacket, trousers and gloves, all just plain great gear in high quality.

This is an amazing jacket, looks great and fits snug and comfortable.
Real quality product and well designed would highly recomend.
