Protection options from Knox

Knox continues to expand its rider protection line with its Covert gloves. They feature new OutDry waterproof technology that keeps the gloves thin and light. The OutDry membrane is bonded directly to the glove's shell, and this is said to prevent the build-up of water between the outer and inner layers as well as sealing stitching and joins, for a complete and durable waterproof, breathable and windproof finish.


Made from Korean cowhide, the palm and fingertips are reinforced with Pittards digital goat leather, with biofoam panels on the thumb, top of hand and outer wrist. Patented scaphoid protection is provided by low profile Knox SPS sliders. There are also stretch panels and box construction fingers to aid dexterity.


Additionally, Knox has re-designed its Track vest, now manufactured using four-way stretch breathable mesh, combined with breathable, moisture-wicking and fast-drying Meryl Lycra. The Track vest includes the re-engineered Aegis back protector, which has spacer fabric and vents. The vest can be zipped off the back protector and machine-washed.
Certified to CE Level 2 of the latest European standard [EN1621-2: 2014], the Aegis has also been tested and approved at the optional high (+40 degrees Centigrade) and low (-20 degrees Centigrade) temperatures. A CE approved chest protector can also be added as an optional extra to the Track vest.
