Motorcycle jeans Knox Shield MK2, men's

The Shield MK2 are Knox’s strongest and most technologically advanced jeans yet. Their exceptional strength and high-performance Class AAA rating conform to EN17092-2:2020. For perspective, the AAA class is normally associated with leather race suits.

These are single-layer Class AAA stretch jeans with a tapered leg – a classic style for those seeking the strongest protection available. They are made from pioneering denim developed for Knox with Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibre. UHMWPE is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibres – 40% stronger than aramid and fifteen times stronger than steel.

UHMWPE fibres are known for high strength and durability while providing exceptional all-day comfort on a motorcycle. Elastane provides ease of movement while delivering the highest level of AAA protection. The unique denim weave delivers unparalleled strength for like-for-like weights.

The UHMWPE fibre repels moisture, helping the wearer stay dry, and draws heat from the body to help the rider stay cool. Its robust nature reduces concerns about regular wear and tear. The jeans are also hypoallergenic and will not cause irritation.

Two invisible zipped knee armour pockets provide easy external access for removing Knox CE Micro-Lock protectors, which are fitted as standard. The carefully tailored tapered fit looks perfect both on and off the bike.

Updated details include technical branding on the waist, Knox-branded rivets, key ring and waist button, plus YKK zips. Four deep pockets with an abstract charcoal print make the Shield jeans practical and stylish. Available in classic black. Machine washable for added practicality.
