Has anyone got a Knox jacket, either textile or leather? If so, what are your thoughts please? Knox have a promotion online at the moment whereby if you buy the Urban Pro shirt they’ll throw in a textile jacket for an extra £60 or a leather jacket for an extra £90. Thus £250 for the shirt and a textile jacket, or £300 for the shirt and a leather jacket. As I was going to get the shirt anyway I’m now tempted by the offer but have no direct experience with their jackets. TIA
Have the Gloves and a chest protector and can’t fault them, though looking at the Jackets I can see why there trying to get rid of them. Ive walked past better looking coats in skips.
I've been looking at the Urbane Pro or Zephyr Pro, with a view to being able to wear it under either a wax or other similarly retro looking jacket for use on the Sunbeam. I'd be interested as to how you get on if you do order one.
I have the UrbanPro, Summer I just throw a big Sweatshirt or shirt just to outrage the safety brigade. I’m not tempted to buy Knox over garments as they just don’t appeal to me.
I have the Knox Leonard jacket which I wear with the Urbane Pro undershirt. I like it. The layering idea works. And it means I can wear it on my commute to the office and arrive reasonably smart and without looking too much like a biker, and I can wear it if I walk out to lunch (without the undershirt) so I’m a big fan of the versatility. Bought direct from Knox and their service is great. Am not affiliated!
I have the zephyr pro summer jacket which I adore , best on days from about 25c plus, otherwise I am in my Rukka. It’s easily transported in my roll bag when going to hotter European areas, then use the Zephyr in hotter areas. Very well made item. I have put my Hideout armour in it.
I did this very thing last year. I got the Urbane Pro as in very warm weather it can be used as a jacket on it's own. Useful if commuting or just on a relaxed ride. Also means you can remove the armour from any leather or textile jacket you wear over the top of it. Great on a Euro tour on a hot day. Great piece of kit and very highly recommended
Well, I ordered the Urbane Pro shirt and the Oulton jacket. Ordered them on 1st Jan, Knox weren't back at work until Thurs 2nd Jan and I received the goods on Mon 6th Jan. A pretty damn good service considering I live in Ireland. I've not had their stuff before but it's good quality kit, very well made. Just one small issue I ordered XL. According to their sizing guide XL = 44-46" chest. I measured myself with a tape measure before ordering, 43" exhaled, 45" inhaled. So they're now on their way back for a 2XL. If you're thinking of getting some stuff and can't try it on in a shop go a size up.
Off topic, but I ordered some whey powder at 22.40 on Monday from My Protein, and it turned up yesterday lunch time. Sorry, back to jackets - I've had a few Knox base layers and been happy with them. Going to have a ride up to Cockermouth some time as I want some new gloves.
