WORLD LEADERS IN BODY PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Spearheading the new line-up is the Contour Gilet, a safety vest that incorporates the ultra light Contour back-protector with an Advance-X chest-protector. Produced in direct response to requests from riders for a comfortable garment combining CE-approved back and chest protection that is easy to wear under leathers, the Contour Gilet can be slipped on and zipped up in seconds. The vest is manufactured from arrow netting, an ultra-strong sport mesh, designed to look as cool as it keeps the wearer. This garment delivers serious levels of protection. The Contour follows the contour of the spine and offers maximum coverage of the back area, including side impact panels, yet weighs just 600g. It exceeds the tough new European EN1621-2 back-protector standard by 30% and additional protection is provided by a covering of tear & abrasion resistant Schoeller® Dynatec material down the centre. At the front, a fully CE-approved Knox Advance-X chest protector does the business. Produced from honeycomb polypropylene, this creates a ‘crumple zone’ capable of absorbing significant amounts of energy from an impact. The Knox Contour Gilet is expected to retail for £139.99 inc. VAT when it goes on sale in 2006. See it on Stand T277 at the NEC Motorcycle Show.
