KNOX say they have taken the traditional waxed cotton motorcycle jacket and given it "a contemporary make-over" with the introduction of the Leonard (for men) and Lea (for women).
Despite the tailored look, the jackets transform quickly into motorcycle-specific wear through the use of an expansion system that allows a body armoured shirt to be worn underneath.
Instead of being fitted with impact protectors at shoulders, elbows and in the back, which makes them too bulky to wear for anything apart from riding, they feature the Knox Dual Fit System. A zip runs from cuff to waist, concealed under the arm. Opening it transforms the jacket, expanding it by one size and allowing enough room to wear a soft stretch fabric Knox armoured shirt, with CE-approved armour at shoulders, elbows and back.
They are waterproof and breathable thanks to a 10k membrane laminated to the inside with fully taped seams.
