Knox Shield MK2 Women's Jeans

Knox Shield MK2 Women's Jeans

The Shield MK2 jeans from Knox have it all! Single layer construction, exceptional durability and a CE Class AAA The highest level of certification a piece of motorcycle apparel can achieve for abrasion resistance is CE Level AAA, as defined by the EN 17092-2:2020 standard. This rating is typically associated with high-performance riding gear, such as race suits, designed for the extreme conditions of track and high-speed road riding. The testing protocol for AAA-rated garments is significantly more stringent, reflecting the higher risks associated with these activities.
During the Darmstadt abrasion test, the materials in Zone 1 of a AAA-rated garment are subjected to a much higher rotational speed of approximately 707.4 rpm. This simulates a slide on a concrete surface at a road speed of approximately 75 mph (120 km/h). The material passes the test if it does not develop a hole larger than 5mm in any direction after the abrasion. This demanding requirement provides riders with the highest level of assurance that their gear is built to withstand the intense forces of a high-speed slide, offering critical protection when it is needed most. To earn the final rating, the garment must also pass rigorous standards for tear resistance, seam strength, the impact protection performance of the included armor and additional factors. rating all packed into a stylish slim jean that looks great on and off the bike. Knox's specially developed stretch denim features Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, which is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers – it's 40% stronger than aramid and fifteen times stronger than steel. This fiber also has properties that keep you comfortable by repelling moisture on the outside and pulling heat from the body on the inside. Not only is Micro-Lock knee and hip armor included for low-profile impact protection, but the knee features two invisible armor pockets with zipped external access for easy removal. Knox thoughtfully designed the Shield MK2 jeans inside and out to ensure a summer riding jean that is supremely wearable and exceptionally protective.
