Knox Women’s Urbane Pro MK2 Utility

Description

As an armoured shirt its amazing breathability, impact protection, combined with abrasion resistance, at a level never experienced before, the Urbane Pro Utility Mk2 delivers in every way.  Keeping riders both cool and safe in the heat attains the ultimate goal of summer biking kit.

Getting here wasn’t easy.  Knox had to develop new, tough stretch mesh fabrics in order to engineer a shirt that was strong enough to be approved as a Class AA garment.  This reassuring technical performance of the Mk2 Urbane Pro Utility is made without reducing breathability or adding any weight.  Features that make it so easy to wear such as its breathability, lack of weight, resistance to abrasion, stretch comfort and ladies specific cut are all prioritised and delivered to the wearer in the new design.

All of the latest collection of Knox armoured shirts are part of the Seasonless Collection.  With the Seasonless collection there is no spring, summer, autumn, or winter wear.  Instead, riders have one hardworking layered ensemble. This outfit has the armoured shirt at its core. It can then be adapted to suit all weather conditions by either adding or removing layers.  The Knox Seasonless Collection is adaptable, sustainable, and protective.

Premium detailing on the shirt includes a new patch on the sleeve which highlights Knox’s heritage and is complemented by discreet Knox branding on the chest, front hem and back.  An improved security belt loop system is highlighted on the inside to ensure riders can secure their trousers to the shirt.

The SMART technology using Micro-Lock armour on the back, shoulders and elbows means that the armour is soft to wear but locks on impact and therefore absorbs the impact energy before it’s passed to the wearer’s limbs or back.  The Micro-Lock in the shoulders and elbows is Approved to EN 1621-1:2012 L1 and the Level 2 back protector is Approved to EN 1621-2: 2014 L2.

The Urbane Pro Utility Mk2 is available in sizes from 8 – 20 (XS – 3XL). The Utility is cut specifically for the female shape and is available in three colours; black, olive and camel.

 The technical CE classification, Class AA garment under the CE standard EN17092, is clearly highlighted on the jacket.

Key Features: –

• CE approved Class AA garment under the CE standard EN17092. The all-important technical CE classification is highlighted on the jacket.
