KEY FEATURES
HANDROID MK5
Scaphoid fractures are one of the most common hand injuries in motorcycle accidents and are the most difficult to heal. They happen when a rider instinctively tries to protect themselves by putting their hands out to save themselves in a fall. When the hand makes contact with the road surface, the glove grips (grab effect), hyper-extending the wrist and breaking the scaphoid.
The Knox patented Scaphoid Protection System(SPS), incorporates 2 small, discreet pads that are strategically sewn to the glove palm. The SPS is made from low-friction materials that eliminate the grab effect, allowing the glove to slide away, which minimises the risk of hyper extension and a broken scaphoid.
The addition of Micro-Lock to the Knox SPS Impact technology enhances the glove's overall protective capabilities. Micro-Lock is a smart, temperature-stable impact foam that offers superior energy absorption properties, reducing the amount of energy transferred to the rider's hand.
Combining Knox Scaphoid Protection with Micro-Lock provides an extra layer of protection for the rider's hands.
Secure, comfortable, and customised fit .
The micro-adjustable dial allows for a precise fit by tightening or loosening the laces with ease. This ensures that the glove fits snugly around the rider's wrist, providing better control and comfort while riding.
The strong lightweight laces and low-friction lace guides are designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use, ensuring that the system remains functional and reliable over time.
BOA® wrist closure system offers a customised, secure fit for motorcycle gloves, making adjustments easy and quick while ensuring comfort and durability. The lifetime guarantee that accompanies the system provides assurance of its quality and reliability.
Unique finger spines to protect against impact and abrasion.
An advanced protective feature designed to increase the glove's safety and performance. These Exoskeleton spines are strategically integrated into the glove's construction along the fingers, providing added support and reinforcement for optimal protection against abrasion and impact forces.
The exoskeleton spines enhance the glove's overall abrasion resistance. In the event of a slide or fall, abrasion resistance helps safeguard the rider's hands from road rash or other injuries.
Now with MICRO-LOCK for added protection.
The Handroid long cuff incorporates a new sleek, single-sided polished LDPE wrist cuff, for improved strength, abrasion resistance and impact protection, and a new branded wrist-retaining strap for added security. This low-profile design enhances dexterity and flexibility on the controls and offers a more comfortable fit. With added MICRO-LOCK armour built in for impact absorption
These features provide a combination of comfort, protection, and flexible ease of use for motorcycle riders, making the gloves an excellent choice for riders seeking enhanced safety and performance.
Ethically sourced 0.8mm Kangaroo Palm
Ethically sourced 0.8mm Kangaroo palm in a motorcycle glove offers numerous benefits in terms of strength, feel, protection and comfort. Kangaroo leather is known for its high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion.
It is considered one of the best materials for motorcycle gloves due to its unique structure which allows it to be thin, but at the same time being stronger than cow or goat hide. Being relatively thin means improved feel but despite this, it offers excellent durability and protection in the event of a crash, safeguarding the rider's hands from potential injuries and road rash.
CE certification to the EN 13594 standard signifies that a motorcycle glove has undergone rigorous testing and meets the European Union's stringent safety requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE). This certification offers several benefits to the rider, ensuring that the gloves provide an appropriate level of protection, comfort, and performance.
Gloves certified to EN 13594 are designed to provide optimal protection against various types of injuries, such as abrasions, cuts and impacts.
