Knox Shield MK2 women's jeans

The Shield MK2 are Knox’s strongest and most technologically advanced jeans yet. This is due to their amazing strength and high-performance Class AAA rating that conforms to EN17092-2:2020. To put this in perspective, the AAA class is normally reserved for leather suits. They are single-layer Class AAA stretch jeans in a high-waisted slim fit, designed for riders looking for the strongest protection available.

Made from pioneering new denim developed for Knox with Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre. UHMWPE fibre is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibres – it is 40% stronger than aramid and fifteen times stronger than steel.

UHMWPE fibres are known for their high strength and durability, while still offering added stretch for exceptional all-day comfort on a motorcycle. The fibre also repels moisture, helping the wearer stay dry, and helps the rider stay cool by drawing heat away from the body. Regular wear and tear is much less of a concern due to the unique, robust nature of the UHMWPE fibre. Finally, the jeans are hypoallergenic and therefore will not cause irritation.

There are two invisible zipped armour pockets with easy external access for removing the low-profile knee protectors. Knox CE Micro-Lock Compact protectors are fitted in the hips and knees as standard.

All of this is delivered with a stylish, flattering fit that looks perfect both on and off the bike. Updated details such as new technical branding on the waist, Knox-branded rivets, a key ring and waist button, as well as YKK zips, finish these Shield jeans to the incredibly high standards on which they are built. Four deep pockets in a charcoal abstract print make gearing up in the Shield a delight.

The Shield jeans are available in classic black with a choice of a regular 30″ or short 28″ leg length.

Sizes XS–3XL.

Care and storage: hang the garment in a dry, ventilated environment away from sunlight and direct heat sources. Do not leave it on the floor or under heavy objects, as this may cause the protectors to deform, tear or become damaged. Do not fold the garment or protectors in half. Keep away from chemicals that may damage the material and reduce its protective properties.

The impact protection and fastening system should be checked regularly, at least once a year, for obvious signs of wear. Worn or damaged protectors, or protectors whose condition is in doubt, must be replaced immediately. It is recommended that protectors be replaced every 5 years, regardless of their condition. Protectors that have been impacted in an accident must be replaced immediately. Carefully remove the protectors from the garment before washing. Protectors should only be cleaned by hand.
