Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does the CE Class AAA rating mean?
It is the highest safety certification for motorcycle protective clothing, indicating that the garment has passed rigorous tests for abrasion resistance, impact protection, and tear strength.
Can I wear this in the rain?
The jacket is designed for breathability. While the material is durable, it is not waterproof; you should layer a waterproof shell over it in heavy rain.
Is the armour removable?
Yes, the Micro-Lock Compact protectors in the shoulders, elbows, and back can be removed for cleaning the jacket.
How should I clean the jacket?
Remove all armour and hand wash with a mild detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and armour pockets.
What is the Flex and Adapt system?
It is a patented side closure system that allows the jacket to expand and contract, ensuring a secure fit even as the rider changes position on the bike.
Can this be worn as a base layer?
Yes, it is designed as part of the Knox Seasonless Collection and can be worn under other jackets, though it is fully protective enough to be worn as the main outer layer.
Troubleshooting
Armour feels out of position
Adjust the fit of the jacket using the side hem and cuff adjusters to ensure the armour remains securely over your joints.
Stiff YKK zips
Clear any trapped fabric or dust from the zipper track and apply a dry silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Jacket feels loose while riding
Utilize the internal belt loop system to connect the jacket to your riding pants, which stabilizes the fit at high speeds.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highest safety certification (Class AAA) for motorcycle apparel
- Lightweight and breathable design for summer comfort
- Flexible armour that doesn't restrict riding posture
- Excellent adjustability with side hem and cuff systems
- Includes essential rider features like visor wipes and security belt loops

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal protection, adjust the side hem and cuff fasteners while wearing your standard base layer to achieve a snug, non-shifting fit. The internal security belt loop system should be attached to your trousers to prevent the jacket from rising during a slide. For cleaning, remove all armour inserts before hand-washing the garment in mild detergent. Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the high-tenacity nylon fabric. Periodically inspect the Micro-Lock armour for signs of wear and ensure all YKK zips are free from grit and debris to maintain smooth operation.
