It is therefore crucial to ensure hands are kept properly insulated and dry during any outdoor winter activity. Knox have added a versatile new glove to the Cold Killers range of thermal clothing to combat the effects of cold and wet conditions on the hands.

Keep Dry Inside when it gets moist
Autumn in the UK is synonymous with unsettled weather conditions; unpredictable levels of rainfall, huge variations in temperature and an increased risk of storms can all be expected between September and November, which makes choosing the right riding kit extremely difficult. An effective base layer can help deal with many of the issues associated with such changeable conditions - such as perspiration, overheating and chills - regulating and stabilising body temperature, acting as ‘climate control' for the rider. The Knox Dry Inside ‘cotton-tech' base layer range does just that.

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 Hand Armour innovation at its best
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?
