Planet Knox - world leaders in the development and manufacture of body protection systems - has added a third model to the Hand Armour range. Designed for touring and leisure riders, the Recon offers levels of protection usually only found on racing gloves, but doesn't sacrifice the comfort, feel and control crucial for long stretches in the saddle.

Following hot on the heels of the Knox Handroid, with its unique exoskeleton, comes the latest model in the Hand Armour range - the Biomech. Safety is at the core of all Hand Armour and the Biomech features distinctive transparent knuckle and Metapod sections on the back of the hand. Unlike other hard shell knuckle protectors found on gloves, the Biomech contains an impact absorbing honeycomb gel, designed to absorb and spread impact forces away from the wearer’s hand.

Knox have released a video to help riders fully understand the innovative OutDry® technology used to make their new Zero gloves waterproof. Traditionally motorcycle gloves are made waterproof by inserting a membrane between the outer shell and inner lining; the OutDry® system is based on a patented lamination process that bonds the waterproof and breathable membrane directly to the glove's shell, creating a unique body which seals the stitching and any other potential water entry point.

Having reviewed last year's breakthrough products from Knox's new Hand Armour range we were really impressed overall by the Handroid and now Knox have added to an already impressive stable by introducing the all new for 2011 Handroid POD. The Pod keeps the same unique exoskeleton system from the original Handroid glove but packages this with a short cuff and remarkably retaining the BOA closure system - the first of its kind in the world. While the looks will no doubt continue to divide opinion between those who like a more subtle glove and the remaining fans of such an outlandish design, we are certain the Handroid Pod will be another massive hit.

Re-engineered as part of the KNX-ST3 program of continuous innovation and development, Knox Recon leisure/touring gloves now feature an improved ventilated knuckle protector and a fresh Black/White colour option. Already well ventilated, with perforated leather panels between the fingers supplemented with vented sliders on top of each finger, for summer 2011 the Recon gets extra ventilation in the knuckle protector, to help cool air circulate through the whole glove. Unlike other ‘hard shell’ protectors the Recon contains a visible impact absorbing honeycomb gel.

Growing popularity and demand for their Scaphoid Protection System has lead British impact protection innovators, Knox, to expanded their range of SPS pads. Commonly fractured in falls, the scaphoid is a small bone that connects the thumb to the wrist. It is notoriously difficult to heal, because it only receives a limited supply of blood. The patent protected Knox SPS is unique and consists of two low-friction polypropylene pads that are strategically placed on the palm of a glove.
