Knox pioneered back protectors in sizes and shapes to suit women and so are the obvious choice for the UK’s most successful female motorcycle racer. Maria Costello set the record as the fastest woman to lap the Isle of Man TT course, is a Sporting Champion for the Sports Council of England and recently received an MBE for services to motorcycling. She uses a Knox Contour back protector, along with Knox body armour fitted inside her Bering race suit.
Wearing the wrong size of back protector can result in an uncomfortable fit, limited protection and/or restriction to movement, so choosing the best fit is essential. Knox also led the way in developing ultra lightweight materials and at just 600g the Contour is the lightest back protector on the market that conforms to Level 2 of the EN1621-2 CE standard – the highest rating possible under current EU testing regulations. This is achieved by the use of honeycomb technology, with impact absorbing cells formed in a 5-layer mould to follow the contours of the spine. Comfort is further enhanced by the use of breathable Spacer Fabric, multi adjustable waist strap and shoulder straps that can be worn in vertical or cross-over positions.
The Contour is available in Small and Small Race sizes retailing for £99.99. See the fitment video at http://www.knox-armour.co.uk/product.html?product=contour.
Proving Knox don\'t ignore the minority, they have launched this Contour back protector for ladies, as you\'d expect from Knox this is very comfortable and fits nicely under leathers, we highly recommend wearing a back protector at all times, you cant put a price on back injuries!
Highly recommended.
