Merlin Taos Waterproof D3O Jacket

The Taos Waterproof Jacket is built to withstand all seasons on long tours, weekend rides and winding day trails. This jacket's PU-backed stretched polyester outer is value-packed with rider-focused features at an accessible price point. Beneath the high-quality outer shell lies a waterproof and breathable Humax membrane, boasting an impressive 10k/15k rating. This combination ensures durability and weatherproof performance, while venting options and a removable thermal liner allow riders to effortlessly adapt to changing conditions. Thoughtful features fortify the Taos as a solid touring choice: D3O’s vented 5-piece armor offers advanced protection, while multiple fit adjusters, storage pockets, and connection points to pants make this jacket as practical as it is versatile.
