Women's motorcycle jeans Knox Shield MK2

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 seeking the strongest protection available.

Made from pioneering 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.

Style Notes

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fibres are known for their high strength and durability, while still offering added stretch for exceptional all-day comfort on a motorcycle. UHMWPE 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 fibre. The jeans are also hypoallergenic and 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 with a stylish, flattering fit that looks perfect both on and off the bike. Updated details, including new technical branding on the waist, Knox-branded rivets, key ring and waist button, together with YKK zips, complete these jeans to the highest standards. 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” leg or a short 28” leg.

Sizes XS–3XL. Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, usually the smallest part. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, often 7.5inches (20cm) below your waist. Inside Leg: Measure from the top of your inside leg to your ankle while standing for a more accurate measurement. Two leg lengths are available for women: 30″ (Regular) and 28″ (Short Leg). Measurements are body measurements; do not measure over clothing. Hold the tape firmly, not loosely. If you measure between sizes, we recommend going down one size. For example, if your waist measures 27inches, choose 26inches.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE 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 items, as this may cause 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. Maintenance: The impact protection and fastening system should be checked regularly, at least once a year, for visible signs of wear. If the impact protectors are worn or damaged, or if there is any doubt about their condition, they must be replaced immediately. It is recommended that protectors be replaced every 5 years, regardless of their condition. If the protectors have been impacted in an accident, they must be replaced immediately. Washing: Carefully remove the protectors from the garment before washing. Protectors should only be cleaned by hand.
