Back protectors have come along way from the original visors that were arched across the spine of the legendary Barry Sheene. The latest offering from Knox is the Aegis back protector with vents to allow for maximum airflow and a low profile cut to ensure the back protector is unobtrusive when worn under close-fitting jackets and suits.
The back protector has been independently tested and approved to EN162102 Level 2, the highest rating under the current European regulations. With a honeycomb plate design and inclined cell wall the Aegis technology allows for maximum impact protection, and an adjustable and removable soft kidney section is included for additional protection.
Freedom of movement remains central to the design of the Aegis - flex channels allow the spine section to articulate freely, moving with the rider and allowing the Aegis to sit perfectly around the contours of the back, ensuring that protection is maintained in all positions.
The multi-position waist strap can be moved up or down by 2" (5cm), to suit differing lengths of torso, while the automatic shoulder strap slider system self-adjusts for a perfect fit every time.
Available in seven sizes, for men, women and children, the Knox Aegis sells for £89.99 in adult sizes. For further information, call Knox on 01900 825825 or visit knox-armour.co.uk.
