  1. Knox Scarlett Skinny Jeans for Women

    Posted on

    Knox Scarlett skinny motorcycle jeans are made from a superior stretchy 10oz Cordura® denim woven with COOLMAX® All Season for comfort, and treated with a Durable Water Repellency (DWR) finish for practicality on the bike.

    Cordura® Denim is 4 times stronger than regular 100% cotton denim and offers far better wear and tear resistance. 

    A Dupont™ Kevlar® lining offers high abrasion-resistance, and the Knox® CE approved MICRO-LOCK knee and hip armour guard against impact. A 'smart system' holds the knee protectors against the knees when riding, and is also adjustable. 
    A unique feature to Knox denims, the knee armour is accessed from the outside by a discreet zip, so when off the bike it can be removed in seconds, without having to take off the jeans or pull the protector out of its lining.

    The jeans are tailored for a slim, but not tight fit, and a lightweight stretch cotton lining offers comfort, breathability and natural antibacterial qualities. 

    Knox Scarlett jeans come in classic Blue denim, and in a range of UK sizes from 6-20, with a 32” leg length, and easy-to-alter hem. They retail at £159.99 including VAT.

  2. The Back Protector Guide - What you need to know

    Posted on

    Back protectors have been at the heart of Knox since we started the company back in 1981. Our founder Geoff Travell was a motorcycle racer himself and to cut a long story short, after a string of serious injuries, Geoff decided to make the world’s first back protector, a real invention that kick-started the company and created this market sector. The Back Protector remains to this day a key part of the KNOX product range.

    In this guide we will cover why you should wear a back protector with an evaluation of the options and hopefully this will help you make the right choice of back protector.

    What is the importance of a back protector

    The obvious answer is that your back is the largest area of your body and therefore the chances of hitting it on something when falling off a motorcycle is greatly increased. It’s also a well-known fact that spinal injuries are a serious problem in motorcycle accidents.

    A motorcycle back protector is designed to protect the spine and the central nervous system housed within it. The central nervous system connects the brain to every part of your body and controls essential functions like your heart and lungs, through to moving your toes.
