Verified Customer Reviews for Merlin Mason 2 D3O Waterproof Jeans
Comes up a little small
22 July 2025 by Chris B
The waterproofing seems good to me - I haven't been out in seriously bad rain with them yet, but they have helped I've worn them.
The markdown is for sizing, they feel to me like they come up a little small, so I'd recommend going a size up - especially because the waterproofing drastically affects the breathability, so although the size I got fits but is a little snug, I'd rather just get wet on a day where it's warm and raining because of how tight they are.
I think going a size up would allow some more room to breath.

Not waterproof

The first time I got caught in a shower of rain my crotch was wet, disappointed in the performance to be honest

Description
As one of the only waterproof riding jeans on the market at this price, Mason II is now lighter and stronger (CE 'AAA'). This is achieved by using a Coolmax sweat wicking Cordura outer denim, with a lighter waterproofing lining that still hits 10k/10k performance. This is a truly innovative riding jean that allows riders to make more of the season, without compromising on style. D3O® lightweight Ghost armour can also now be found as standard in the hip and knee. There are further improvements to the refinement in craftsmanship and trims.
