What is Class AAA protection?
Class AAA is the highest level of certification under the EN 17092-2:2020 standard, indicating superior abrasion resistance.
Does it fit true to size?
The jacket is designed with a blend of cotton and elastane, providing a stretch-fit. It is recommended to choose your standard clothing size for the intended fit.
Troubleshooting
Armor feels misaligned
Adjust the jacket fitment and ensure the thumb loops are engaged to keep the sleeves securely in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Knox Shield Jacket provides maximum protection, verify the armor is centered over your joints before every ride. Because the armor is low-profile and flexible, it should move naturally with your body. For care, always remove the Micro-Lock armor inserts before cleaning the outer garment. Wash the textile portion according to the care label, typically involving a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can degrade the UHMWP fibers. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation over long periods of non-use.
