You only have one spine so protect it!

It's a publicised fact that most back

protectors in pockets of motorcycle

jackets and suits offer less protection

than a cheese sandwich.

It's also a fact that more than two

bikers a week in the UK end up in a

wheelchair as a result of a

motorcycle accident.

protector. If you visit a Knox

Dealer, a trained specialist will

measure you correctly.

where you can print out a size

chart for measuring your torso

length.The torso defines the

minimum area of protection as

defined by EU standard EN1621-2.

The torso length istaken from the napeof the neck to thewaist. Choose thenearest “torsolength” on the sizeguide. This will giveyou the ideal size.

Crash protection isn’t new, we’ve

been making it since the mid 80s

when we launched our first off road

range. However most off road riders

still confuse our CE approved impact

protection with traditional hard

plastic harnesses, which are in fact

simple stone deflectors and give

little or no actual crash protection.

Protectan

dSu

rvive! MX riders aren’t superhuman -

they don’t bounce better than

the rest of us, perhaps they are

just simply prepared to put up

with more unnecessary injury

and pain than most other

motorcyclists. But we’re not

here to tell you that you should

wear Knox body armour -

you’re consenting adults after

all. What we want is to inform

you that all that pain and injury

can be reduced if you choose

to wear Knox.

But it’s up to you to

make that choice......

Knox offer a range of protectors

ideally suited for all types of off

road or MX riding; protectors that

have been tested to prove that they

actually absorb energy and reduce

the effects of impact. All Knox

protectors are CE certified to

exceed the toughest EU standards.

Knox Dry Inside is made from

97% soft cotton but unlike

normal cotton it wicks the

moisture away, leaving the rider

feeling dry and comfortable.

The cotton combined with

Schoeller 3 X Dry technology has

a fantastic wicking capability but

its secret is in the one way water

path which means that once the

water vapour or molecules have

been pushed to the outside of

the fabric they are not allowed

back through. The garments are

also treated with an antibacterial

coating to avoid odours.

Knox

DryInside

Dry Inside – the cotton

base layer that keeps you

dry. A New innovation

from Knox to keep riders

dry and comfortable.

Most motorcycle clothing

linings are sticky to wear

so many riders opt to use

some kind of base layer.

Cotton is the most

comfortable fabric and

feels good against the

skin but it absorbs

moisture so it gets wet,

cold and uncomfortable.

Up to now riders have

settled for man made

polyesters base layers but

they snag easily, cling and

can smell.

SPSThe first glove protection system

from Knox. There are an estimated

100,000 Scaphoid injuries per year

in the UK alone. The injury is

common amongst bikers and

the healing process is slow

and often complicated. It occurs

because of the “grab effect” of

leather gloves on a road surface.

In an accident the glove palm grips

the tarmac but the rider is thrown

forward. This puts a strain on the

Scaphoid that often results in a

break due to hyper extension. The

Knox SPS eliminates this grab effect

allowing the palm to slide forward,

reducing the risk of Scaphoid injury.

Several leading brands of gloves

now incorporate Knox SPS.

Contact Knox for further details.
