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.

Knox Aegis protects olympian

Sarah Ainsworth is the first lady aerial skier to be selected by Team GB for the Winter Olympics and when she takes to the air in Vancouver she will be relying on British-made Knox protection. During the 5-year journey towards her Olympic goal Sarah has been supported by several British companies and thanked Knox, who “have been invaluable in their support for her and the aerials training team”.
British impact protection specialists Knox have reacted with surprise to reports in the press about an 'innovative' foldable back protector. Described as "The first and unique back protector bender" by the Italian manufacturers, the Soul Race MF Bender has won the prestigious Italian Young Designer of the Year award for Manuel Franzan of Franzan Design and last year it won Motociclismo magazine's 'Best Innovation for Motorcyclists' award.

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.

Designed to keep the wearer dry and comfortable throughout the seasons, this technical collection of base layers combines the natural comfort of cotton with the wicking properties of synthetic fabrics. Made from 95% cotton (and 5% lycra for a comfortable fit), Dry Inside is unlike normal cotton base layers because it wicks moisture away, leaving the wearer feeling dry and fresh.

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?
