Great fitting jacket
04 October 2024 by Anonymous
At last, a great fitting jacket, looks feminine, very comfortable & has great protection- never thought I would find anything like this. I'm 34 chest & the size 10 fits perfectly. It has inner loops to slide your motorcycle jean belt through which feels so secure but as the jacket is snug fitting you do not have to use it if you choose not to. It's feels so unrestricted when on, you really do not feel as though you are wearing a bike jacket. Also the Knox armour is great, you don't feel this either. So impressed I bought the Knox Pro Overjacket to cover me for the chillier days but was advised to go for size 8 as comes up slightly larger & again fits perfectly. Would highly recommend.

Description
The Honister Pass, situated in the UK Lake District, is one of those roads that needs to be ridden to be appreciated. Being the mountain pass that is closest to the Knox HQ, it was inspirational to the creation of the Class AAA rated Knox Honister jacket. Wearing a close-fitting armoured shirt is the best way to protect a rider, since the armour is comfortably held in the right place when you need it.
Making the women's Honister jacket was a tough development journey. It required entirely new strong mesh fabrics, since the goal was to develop the highest Class AAA breathable armoured garment that could be used for warm weather riding, aimed at riders who require the best performance.
Achieving CE approval to Class AAA is no small achievement. AAA is the highest class for a motorcycle protective garment and is usually only attained by one- and two-piece leather suits. The protection fitted is Micro-Lock armour from Knox which uses SMART technology to keep the armour super soft to touch, but it locks when impacted and delivers fantastic protection to the wearer. The locking action increases the amount of impact absorbed by the protector and reduces the energy passed through to the wearer's back and/or limbs. This Micro-Lock armour used in the Knox Honister Jacket is approved to Level 2 EN 1621-1:2012 L2 in the shoulders and elbows and the Level 2 back is approved under EN 1621-2:2014 L2 FB. It can be complemented with an optional chest protector.
The Honister Jacket has been designed from the ground up. This includes everything, from the way it is tailored and cut to the way the fabrics perform. Construction has been carefully developed to be as comfortable in the harshest of environments as it would be on a gentle spin in the country. Extra attention to detail completes the style and the AAA qualifying technical CE standard to EN 17092 -2:2020 Class AAA, is highlighted on the jacket.
Developing new mesh fabrics which deliver the ultimate strength and resilience needed has been achieved without losing any breathability. Blending this with the hardest-wearing stretch polyamide, riders can be confident in the protective qualities of the Honister Jacket in all environments. All the zips in the Honister jacket are by YKK. There are two zipped side pockets and one zipped large back pocket. Detailing continues with discreet Knox branding on the front hem as well as on the back. The branded badge on the sleeve comes with a reflective surround, complemented by strips which are only visible at night on the back. Thumb loops are found on the cuffs for added security, while an improved security belt loop system is fitted on the inside so that riders can secure their trousers to the jacket. Even the collar has a soft interior for comfort around the neck.
The Ladies Honister Armoured Jacket is part of the Knox Seasonless Collection. With this collection there is no spring, summer, autumn, or winter wear. Instead, riders have one hard-working 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.
