Merlin Mahala Ladies Explorer Trousers Review

The Merlin Explorer Collection has been meticulously crafted to cater to the growing demand for versatile, do-it-all motorcycles. This surge in interest is partly due to nearly 18 months of COVID-19 lockdowns, which have left many yearning for the open road and new adventures. Additionally, the rise of younger motorcyclists, spurred by Instagram’s burgeoning heritage scene and the increasing presence of motorcycling in popular culture, has encouraged more young people to obtain their licenses. The Explorer Collection offers rugged styling, durability, and protection while incorporating Merlin's signature aesthetics using only the finest materials and components.

Rugged Styling with Premium Materials

The Merlin Explorer Collection stands out with its rugged styling and high-quality materials. Each piece is designed to withstand the rigors of adventure riding while providing maximum comfort and protection. The collection features:

Halley Stevensons® Waxed Cotton: Known for its durability and water resistance.
D3O® Armour: Provides superior impact protection.
Cordura® Fabric: Offers excellent abrasion resistance.

These materials ensure that every item in the collection not only looks good but also performs exceptionally well under various riding conditions.
