The original Hixon jacket was first released in 2016 and was a staple of the Merlin collection for many years. As part of the Hixon refresh we have kept the well-received super soft and supple leather and added in a number of new improvements. The first of these upgrades includes D3O armour which sits in the shoulders and elbows. Hixon II has a revised fit with a slightly longer length, new design details and crucially includes more ventilation - with three back vents and two chest ventilation points added.
