Description
Building on the success of the Hamlin II the demand for a waterproof hoodie has been clear and, until now, options for riders have been limited. The Merlin Hamlin Hydro delivers both casual style and all-season performance, meeting the needs of modern riders. Equipped with a Reissa waterproof membrane, this hoodie also offers excellent breathability in a stretch construction. To ensure it's ready for year-round wear, key updates include waterproof zips, drainage panel cuts and waterproof gussets. For added protection on the roads the Hamlin Hydro features Armanox impact protectors at the shoulder and elbows, backed by a full Kevlar lining and provision for a D3O back protector. With these upgrades the Hamlin Hydro achieves a CE level AA rating, combining casual styling with all year weather protection.
