Description
Expanding Merlin's Leisure Moto collection, the Kildare jean is built for riders who want everyday denim styling backed by true all-weather performance. Constructed from comfort-stretch denim with a DWR treated outer, these jeans are paired with a waterproof and breathable Reissa membrane to keep you protected when the weather turns, without losing that natural, easy-wearing feel.
Designed for the road, Kildare comes equipped with pre-fitted D3O® Ghost armour at the hips and knees, delivering trusted impact protection while maintaining flexibility and comfort. The jeans achieve a CE Level AA rating, striking the balance between safety and wearability.
Cut in a straight-leg fit with a subtle taper at the ankle, Kildare reduces excess movement at speed while keeping a clean, modern silhouette, ideal for both riding and everyday use.
