Combining the protection and flexibility of the Level 2-approved back protector, with the comfort and convenience of a vest, the new Track Vest from British impact protection specialists Knox is light, unobtrusive and as easy to put on/take off as a jacket. Constructed using a compression fit Dupont Meryl Lycra, there are pockets for optional chest protectors and the back protector can be unzipped so the vest may be washed. Ideal for sports and performance riders on track and on road, the Track Vest comes in sizes S-XXL, RRP: £149.99.
Lightweight, unobtrusive and as easy as putting on a jacket, the Knox Fastback Gilet Back Protector is perfect for urban riding, where protection is every bit as important as on the open road. Although journeys are often short and involve relatively low travelling speeds, 72.3% of all accidents involving powered two wheelers happen in urban areas, and of those 85.9% involve mopeds and scooters (MAIDS: In depth investigations of accidents involving powered two wheelers, www.maids-study.eu).
