Knox Shield MK2 women's motorcycle jeans

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, Class AAA is normally reserved for leather suits. These single-layer Class AAA stretch jeans feature a high-waisted slim fit for riders 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 their high strength and durability while offering added stretch for exceptional all-day comfort on a motorcycle. The fibre also repels moisture, helping the wearer stay dry, and draws heat away from the body, helping the rider stay cool. Its unique, robust nature reduces concerns about regular wear and tear. The jeans are also hypoallergenic and therefore will not cause irritation.

Two invisible zipped armour pockets provide 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 in a stylish, flattering fit that looks perfect both on and off the bike. Updated details include new technical branding on the waist, Knox-branded rivets, a key ring and waist button, plus YKK zips. 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 range from XS to 3XL. Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, usually the smallest part. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, often 7.5 inches (20 cm) below your waist. Inside leg: Measure from the top of your inside leg down to your ankle. Stand while measuring for greater accuracy. Women’s leg lengths are 30″ (Regular) and 28″ (Short Leg).

Please note that these are body measurements; do not measure over clothing. Hold the tape measure firmly, not loosely. If you measure between sizes, we recommend going down one size. For example, if your waist measures 27 inches, choose 26 inches.

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 beneath heavy items, as this may cause the protectors to change shape, tear or become damaged. Do not fold the garment or protector in half, as this may damage the protector. Keep away from chemicals that may damage the material and reduce its protective properties.

Care: The impact protection and fastening system should be checked regularly, at least once a year, for visible signs of wear. If the protectors are worn or damaged, or if their condition is in doubt, replace them immediately. Replacing the protectors every 5 years is recommended regardless of their condition. If the protectors have received an impact in an accident, replace them immediately.

Washing care: Carefully remove the protectors from the garment before washing. Protectors should only be cleaned by hand.
