Give a hand to Knox’s Action Pro gloves

With the seasons changing and the weather becoming less kind to us two-wheeled road users, it’s time to think about protecting our digits.

Offering both weather and impact protection, Knox’s Action Pro are also designed for rider comfort.

Just the thing for giving the finger to wind, rain, sleet snow and unexpected contact with tarmac.

 

Winter is coming and there is absolutely nothing that we can do about it.

That is unless we can move to Australia for six months of the year.

Unfortunately, apart from the whole work-family-friends axis, that’s beyond the financial reach of most of us.

What we can do, however, is dress for the occasion by staying warm and waterproof.

That’s where Knox come in.

Time for action

For a number of years now the company have been producing a range called ‘Action Pro’.

The collection includes trousers, independent knee and elbow armour, a jacket and even shorts.

The shorts may well need a certain ‘body type’ to be carried off with any sort of dignity, but they do look very good and are as effective as anything else in the range.

Now there are a new pair of gloves in the ‘Action Pro’ collection and they’re waterproof. They also appear to be vegan.

Comfort zone

They’re also very ‘urban’ with a short cuff , whilst also being quite stretchy which makes them feels so incredibly comfortable and, therefore, easy to wear.

This is, for the most part down to the gloves being a complete fabric affair, with no leather whatsoever being involved in the construction.

While the Action Pro’s are light and comfortable, they still manage to keep the water out since they’re benefitting from an inner HDry lining.

This bit of cleverness allows the waterproof membrane to be laminated to the inside of the glove, which in turn, means that the glove doesn’t ‘hold’ any water in the outside fabric.

It, therefore, allows them to dry out in no time at all, while the wearers hands stay warmer for longer thanks to less of that pesky liquid sunshine sitting in the fabric and chilling one’s fingertips.

Being made from DuPonts’ Sorona Agile fabric is where that stretch and fit come from. The aforementioned vegans are kept happy since it’s an eco-efficient fibre and partially made with plant-based polymers.

Low-pro

As we would expect from any Knox glove, the knuckles are fitted with the company’s micro-lock armour.

On these ones an effort has been made to make the protection somewhat less noticeable with both it, and the, highly effective, Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) made with a lower than usual profile.

The SPS sits on the palm where it successfully eliminates the ‘grab effect’ which would probably otherwise occur if a gloved palm makes contact with the road at any kind of speed.

Successfully defending the hand from wrist compression, it does an excellent job of eliminating the unfortunate wrist hyperextension which results in a deeply unpleasant broken scaphoid.

As well as effectively protecting the wearer’s hands, thanks to having Velcro closers, even the less dextrous among us can get them on and off without needing any outside intervention.

The simple, yet necessary stuff such as an overlay of silicone printed Clarino has been added. This gives the rider a reassuring amount of extra grip on the controls.

The reflective details are a nice touch.

Speaking of touch the Action Pro’s are even touchscreen enabled, but please don’t make use of this detail to post images to your Insta account while stopped at a set of traffic lights.

Knox Action Pro gloves are CE approved to EN 13594 and are available in any colour you can imagine, as long as your imagination is limited to black.

Sizes range all the way from wonderfully cute extra small to ‘Oh my God, what sort of palmar /dorsal type issue are you suffering from!’, triple extra large.

Drop by Moto Kingdom for these and the rest of the range.
