One of the best armor vests on the market, the Knox Track Vest features their top of the line Aegis back protector, YKK zips, padded chest, and a vest that is removable and washable! Retails at $219.95, check out the Knox Track Vest on our website. If you have anymore questions or would like to place an order, give our sales expert MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Send us a message through this forum or write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! Trusted by MotoGP rider James Ellison and Isle of Man TT winner Michael Rutter, the Knox Armor Vest is based around their Aegis back protector. The Aegis back protector is very unique in that it uses multi-link CE Level 2 protection that conforms and twists to your body. The honeycomb base on the back protector is not only safe but extremely comfortable and aids with airflow. Speaking of airflow, the mesh vest is breathable and moisture-wicking. When it becomes too smelly, simply zip it off from the back protector and throw it in the wash following the care instructions on the label. Inside the vest you'll find a velcro strip to hold in the optional Knox chest protector and a padded back spacer that really allows for maximum airflow. This is removable if you don't like the feel. The low profile chest does not constrict articulation and fits even under the tightest of racing suits. Best of all with wearing this full vest, you don't have to worry about the back protector moving out of place when you pull your suit on. Everything stays in place with the Knox Armor vest. Available from Riders Discount, the Knox Track vest fits true to size but if you have any questions on sizing, give us a call and we'll gladly help you out!

First impressions of the Knox Zero 2 glove when putting it on is how soft and supple it is inside. It feels like crawling into bed after a long day at the office. On the exterior you'll find a high-end, quality glove constructed from goat skin featuring OutDry waterproof and windproof membrane that is still breathable. More about OutDry - how can something be waterproof and windproof but still breathable? Basically the membrane used allows for body heat to escape through the glove yet doesn't allow any water to break through. Available to purchase on Riders Discount's website with retail at $189.95. If you have any questions or would like to call to place an order, give MIKE call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Send us a message through this forum or write us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! Knuckle and finger sliders are incorporated into the glove and underneath a layer of digital goat leather. The knuckle sliders are floating and move with your hand for increased comfort. Goat leather and kangaroo palm with an Amara grip pad for improved control. Also note the scaphoid sliders similar to those seen on Knox's higher end gloves like the Handroid glove. The silicon print on the end of the fingers are for added grip on your levers. 3M reflective piping is used throughout the glove including around the end of the wrist cuff. Also notice the waterproof zipper and inside you'll see the Bemberg micro-fleece liner that feels absolutely amazing. This glove will keep you extremely warm on the coldest rides.

Your hands are arguably one of the most important parts of your body, especially when it comes to motorcycle riding. If you're like us and really value your hands, you're going to want the best protection money can buy. The Knox Handroid V14 gloves are just that. With an innovative exoskeleton armor system and CE certification, you get what you pay for and more with these award winning gloves available from Riders Discount. Retails at $269.95, these are available in black, black/white (pictured here), red, and white/black. Check these out on our website or if you would like to place an order, give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Send us a message through this forum or write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! The Handroid V14 gloves are CE certified to prEN 13594-2012. This particular certification is one of the most difficult tests to pass and the Knox Handroid did so with flying colors. Some of the tests involved impact resistance, abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear strength, and quality of leather just to name a few. On the palm side of the glove you'll find kangaroo leather on the palm with an Amara grip pad with silicon print for even greater control of your motorcycle. Also notice the patented dual compound Scaphoid Protection System protecting vital bones in your wrist. The most noticeable feature of this glove is the exoskeleton system. These spines are attached to a fixed point on the middle knuckles and move in and out of the top armor via hidden springs. These take a load off of your hand by helping to maintain the curve around your grip and serve as protection for your knuckles in the event you go down. Check out the wrist closure system. Skiers and snowboarders are probably already familiar with this system but Knox have incorporated this popular BOA lacing system onto the Handroid. The BOA lacing system allows precise adjustment around the whole cuff giving you a secure feeling around the entire circumference of your wrist rather than a few spots like you might get with a velcro closure. Simply turn until it's tight enough for you and pull up on the dial to release the tension. Sizing is spot on with the motorcycle glove. What do you think of the new Knox Handroid V14 glove?

The Knox Covert glove is a great wet weather glove from Knox using all new OutDry technology, the latest and greatest in waterproofing. Available from Riders Discount at $139.95, add these gloves to your shopping cart on our website or if you have any questions give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Send us a message through this forum or write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! OutDry is a membrane that is bonded direction to the shell and completely seals all the stitching. This ensures the insulation remains completely dry keeping you comfortable and warm. Since there is no need for an additional waterproof membrane, this allows the glove to be thinner overall allowing for greater feel and feedback of your bike's controls. Knox also includes their dual scaphoid protection sliders that promote a slide allowing energy to be dispersed through the glove itself rather than your bones. Pittards digital goat leather is overlayed on the palm and fingers for additional durability and grip. Accordion stretch panels on the fingers and armor on the fingers keep your fingers protected while allowing full range of movement. The Covert glove fits as per the size chart, but if need help with sizing be sure to give our expert sales staff a call today!

The Knox Handroid gloves are probably the most unique looking gloves to come in to the Riders Discount office in quite some time. The exoskeleton spines running up the fingers and across the top of the hand were the first thing to catch my attention. These look like they should be the gloves for Bane carrying a fluorescent green fluid... Next was the wrist closure mechanism. Where there normally would be a Velcro closure on the gauntlet was instead, a Boa Lacing System. On the rest of the glove you'll find a full range of safety and technical features such as Kangaroo leather, external stitching, double layers of leather in impact areas and more we'll go over in this review. Retails at $269.95 First up, these are not yet listed on the website but we have these available to order. If you would like to place an order or have any questions, feel free to give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Send us a message through this forum or write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! The exoskeleton spines - While these do look very cool and enough for any curious enthusiast to start a conversation with you, they do serve a very real purpose. These spines are attached to a fixed point on the middle knuckles and move in and out of the top armor via hidden springs. These take a load off of your hand by helping to maintain the curve around your grip and serve as protection for your knuckles in the event you go down. External armor - Everywhere you look there is armor to protect your hand. The most crucial area and a common impact zone is the outside of your palm. Knox have added two sliders here along with an additional layer of leather along the pinky. Knox have also added a palm slider for even more protection. Knox really went above and beyond the "usual" amount of armor found on gloves. This armor position does not get in the way of your handlebar grip and you do not notice it's there. Boa Lacing System - Snowboarders, hikers, hard core runners and bicyclers, will have seen this system before. It's a high-tech replacement for Velcro and offers micro-adjustability. Basically turn the dial until the gauntlet is secured to your liking. When you're done, simply pull the dial out to release the tension. Available in black/white (pictured here), red, white, or all black. These fit true to size and are available today. Give us a call to place your order!

The chest protector is breathable and will not block airflow to your torso. Taking it a step further, KNOX has added a spacer fabric between the two layers of honeycomb for added air flow.
