A new jacket and trousers combo from Merlin adds another string to the brand’s Explorer Collection of adventure clothing. The AA-rated Borderlands jacket is made from a lightweight and moisture-wicking Invista Tactel laminated nylon shell with 10k/10k waterproof/breathability performance. For colder weather there is a removable 125g thermal lining featuring an overlapping front wind breaker. Protection is provided by D3O CE level 1 shoulder and elbow protectors, with pockets to fit optional D3O back and chest protectors. Twin chest vents and forearm air-intakes provide through-ventilation thanks to a three point rear venting system. The Borderlands is available in granite or moss colourways, in sizes S-4XL, for an SRP of £299.99.
To complete the ensemble there are matching in-boot trousers which have the same laminated Invista Tactel material for the outer shell with the addition of leather panels on the inner knees. The trousers feature an active-fit pre-curved knee, elasticated waist with a high-rise back coverage and a 125g removable thigh-length thermal liner. D3O level 1 adjustable armour is fitted at the knee along with pre-fitted CE level 1 hip protectors. They also come in granite and moss colourways, plus ever-popular black. They are available in sizes S-4XL in two leg lengths for an SRP of £229.99.
