Knox Riding Gloves: The Pros and Cons of Their Innovative Knox Sps System

you could use something to take the edge off the wind chill or you’re simply trying to stay dry during the summer. Using Outdry means the glove remains dry as the membrane is completely bonded to the leather.

but you could use something to take the edge off the wind chill or you’re simply trying to stay dry during the summer. Using DWR repellent means the glove remains dry as the film is completely bonded to the leather. This also has the advantage of making the glove thinner and lighter than other summer waterproof gloves.

Waterproofing is assured by the Knox Seal membrane, a highly breathable, laminated, waterproof membrane.  The flexible Knox seal membrane is directly laminated to the back of the leather, keeping water out and you drier. Because it is bonded to the shell, it makes the glove thinner, giving greater feel, dexterity and sensitivity.

• Goat skin with DWR repellent film and additional cow hide panels
• Flexible Knox Seal membrane keeps you dry and comfortable
• Low profile Knox SPS system on palm for scaphoid protection
• Soft microlock knuckle
• Arma Silicone grip pad on palm
• VELCRO® brand wrist closure for secure fit
• Designed to be worn under the jacket cuff
• Arma touch screen on 2 fingers and 1 thumb
• Accordion stretch panels on fingers, thumb and top of hand for increased flexibility
• Strategically placed 4mm microlock panels placed on thumb, top of hand and outer wrist

The exoskeletal flexible finger spines cover the knuckles, fingers, and thumb and give full unrestricted movement. The spines link to a comfortable gel-lined metapod that covers the back of the hand. On the palm, the patented Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) is enhanced by additional sliding systems on all sides which ensure that in the event of an accident, the majority of contact with the ground is with the SPS and not leather. An additional inner cuff slider works to support and enhance the SPS sliding effect. Super strong and tear-resistant Kangaroo leather covers the inside palm and fingers.

The Handroid Motorcycle Gloves utilize a technical Knox BOA lacing system that allows precision adjustment around the whole cuff. The wrist system tightens equally from all sides, just dial in the right torque for you. To release, simply pull the dial. Putting gloves on and off has never been smarter or easier.

These are made from a soft but strong goatskin and come with a molded Knox Micro-Lock knuckle for impact resistance as well as touch screen compatible fingers. These gloves also utilize the patented low-profile Knox Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) on the palm. This eliminates the grab effect that occurs when a leather palm makes contact with a road, and in turn, reduces the risk of hyperextension which can be the cause of a broken scaphoid.

Features:

• Strong and soft goatskin leather construction
• Knox molded Microlock knuckle protection for impact resistance
• Patented low-profile Knox Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) on the palm
• Lift and Lock wrist strap for easy and secure fastening
• Touch screen compatible
• CE Approved

This is complemented with a new innovative two-part TPU knuckle guard, which features air channels, extends over the metacarpals and out to the little finger, and has added Micro-Lock for impact absorption. The reinforced leather wrap on the edge of the hand delivers added strength with a smart single-pull eyelet strap for easy and secure fitting. This covers the seams on the side of the hand where most riders tend to fall in the event of a crash.

Safety continues with an additional Micro-Lock panel on the wrist. Knox Micro-Lock protection is used inside the cuff, under the two-part knuckle, and under the Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) for significantly more impact absorption.

Practical and aesthetic details are taken care of with an Amara Silicone grip pad on the palm which makes it a more comfortable glove to use on a bike. There is spot color-raised detailing on the strap, fingertips and wrist where a stretch accordion feature makes for a secure and comfortable fit.
