Riding all year round has its challenges, especially through the often cold and wet winter months, often leaving riders saturated with heavy and waterlogged riding gear as well as stinging hands from the cold. That wet riding gear can often take days, if not weeks, to dry out completely. Furthermore, if the same gear doesn\u2019t get a chance to dry out, it can almost spend the whole wet season without fully drying. This clearly isn\u2019t ideal and can lead to other issues such as mouldy fabrics and bad smells.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll take you through the solutions from Knox to keep you dry, comfortable and making the most of your wet weather riding. This is our guide to the best waterproof motorcycle gear!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

At Knox, we pride ourselves on innovative thinking and innovative products, often finding unique solutions like our Urbane Pro collection to improve performance and rider comfort. Our solution to waterproof rider wear is the same and incorporates into our layering system. Rather than having a highly complicated single solution textile jacket with zip in\/out thermal layers, drop layer waterproof membranes and armour and abrasion built in, we build it up in layers.<\/p>\n

This means that we can provide abrasion resistance from the armoured layer under neath (like the Urbane Pro) which is worn all year round, then we add thermal when required and finally add waterproof layers when its wet. The result is that we can make a very dedicated waterproof layer that has limited seams and therefore more reliably waterproof, a garment that is laminated, thin, light and packable. In practice this means that our waterproof garments are 100% waterproof, soak up almost no water, dry incredibly quickly and you are able to pack them away as and when required.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Welbeck and Willow waterproof jacket<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Starting with our Mens and Womens over jacket, the Welbeck and Willow. We have carefully tested and constructed our jackets using high performance materials. The base fabric is made from a Polyester tri-laminate with a built-in lining to protect the integrity of the membrane. This membrane provides a barrier to water but also allows breathability whilst riding. The Zip and seam area around the zip can often be the cause of water intrusion so we have taped every seam on the garment and included a robust and tested storm flap to ensure this does not happen.<\/p>\n

As a further line of defence, we have made these jackets with a matt finish YKK Aquaguard zip. The jackets are finished off with elastic waist and cuffs to ensure secure fitment. As these garments have a very lightweight construction, they can be packed away for easy storage into the small bag provided. Other features include reflective panels for night visibility and 3 interior pockets.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
