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.
The Jet Road Gore‐Tex® is a full length waterproof glove featuring a storm gauntlet for outstanding weather protection. A carbon fiber knuckle and a reinforced leather/nylon chassis bestow the glove with excellent safety performance. Innovative construction and design  Leather and Nylon outshell construction is lightweight and durable.
