Two new pairs of gloves have helped to launch Merlin’s latest Explorer collection.
The Ranger D3O combines a 12oz waxed cotton upper with a leather palm for abrasion resistance. A Sympatex waterproof and breathable membrane plus a thermal insulation layer keeps hands warm and dry, while D3O knuckle protection adds some impact resistance. Available in black or olive, to match the jackets in the Explorer collection, the Ranger comes in sizes S-3XL for an SRP of £79.99.
The Ranton II gloves are, no surprise, an update to the Ranton glove. The new version keeps the 12oz wax cotton and cowhide insert upper and leather palm, but adds in D3O knuckle armour and increased scaphoid protection. A Hipora membrane provides weather protection and the 120g thermal insulation across the back of the hand should keep fingers warm. Touchscreen compatible index finger and thumb add more functionality. Available in black or olive in sizes S-3XL for an SRP of £59.99.
