The Mahala D3O Explorer is Merlin's waxed-cotton-style riding jacket built on Cordura cotton with a DWR finish and a fixed Reissa Active waterproof, breathable membrane. It ships with a full set of D3O armor at shoulders, elbows, back and chest, plus a removable 125g thermal liner and front and rear vents. That armor package is more complete than most textile jackets at this level, which often leave the back protector out or sell it separately. Owners rate it well for build and looks; the main complaints are warmth in hot weather and the fixed membrane limiting how the jacket breathes when the liner is out.

Riders rate it highly for build quality, the included D3O set and its casual looks. Most criticism centers on heat and breathability in warm weather and on the jacket feeling bulky.
