Knox Hand Armour innovation at its best

Protecting the important parts, the Knox Handroid
After getting my grubby mitts on the new Knox gloves range I must say I am impressed! I must confess I was very much looking forward to seeing how they feel while wearing as photos can only tell you part of the story, one question I had was regarding the exo-skeleton on the Handroid in relation to an actual crash - are they fixed and prone to snagging?

Cold Killers Hot Hood, Maxi Tube and Mini Tube

Dress like Ninja, Ride like warm person
The face, head and chest are more sensitive to changes in temperature than the rest of the body*, and as any motorcyclist and scooter rider will know, keeping those areas properly insulated and protected from the cold and damp can be difficult. Part of the Softshell mid-layer collection, Cold Killers' Hot Hood, Maxi Tube and Mini Tube are specifically designed to help keep the face, head, neck and chest area warm and dry, during even the most miserable winter weather conditions.

Scaphoid protection is patently better with Knox

Scaphoic protection system (sps) as seen on the knox handroid
British impact protection specialists Planet-Knox have had their innovative Scaphoid Protection System recognised and protected with the granting of a patent (EPO 1594378). Knox SPS is unique, in that it combines a protective pad on the scaphoid with a second protective pad over lower metacarpals, and it is this technology that is covered by the patent. This is the secret to the success of the system - there must be two pads so that the hand slides when it hits the ground, eliminating the grab effect of leather during an accident.
