At Redtread we supply our customers with what we consider to be the best protection for their off road tour in the mountains of Spain, Knox. It is our duty to provide them with a product that not only offers protection for the rocky conditions but is also comfortable to wear all day.
On a weekly basis, customers are fitted with Knox body armour, knee pads and gloves giving them the confidence of CE approved protection. Having used many of Knox‚Äôs products for a number of years and putting them through their paces, we feel Knox is second to none when looking for a product that is durable, comfortable and above all offers the all round protection needed when riding any motorcycle…something our customers agree with time and time again!

Great for wearing under Kevlar jeans or leathers.

The shorts did make my bottom ache on a long ride. Suggest a new profile for the padding.

Great fit comfortable and true to description.

Great fit. Wear medium pants and I’m size 32/81. Got the medium – they’re perfect and you can barely see them under my 511s. The armour is in all the right places too.

Hi Guys, I purchased my wife a pair of the Defender MTB shorts as I have been so happy with mine over the last few weeks. They are comfortable and can be worn under my jeans. My wife decided that she would like to try a pair also to offer her a little more choice when riding.
I must add that the delivery was amazing!! An order placed in Australia on a Friday afternoon and the good arrived on Monday afternoon!! We can’t have things that efficient even locally!!
Thanks again, have shared this information with plenty of friends who ride and we will continue to purchase from you.
Thanks again.

Good product heaps of protection un the right places, be aware that pritection comes at a cost this thing weights more than you would expect, not quite noticeable after you get used to it, but if you are weight concious keep that in mind. Havent use yet on a warm day.

I purchased these shorts for use under my Kevlar lined jeans and also my 1 piece leathers as neither of them have hip armour. These shorts are very comfortable even after 5 hours of riding, the silicone on the bottom of the legs keeps the shorts exactly where you want them. To sum up a great product by Knox.

Excellent shorts, very light weight, perfect under my jeans for on my motorcycle

Very good under motorcycle leather trousers, armour stays in the right places, far better than when the armour is in the trousers.

I’m very happy with the MTB Shorts, they are comfortable to wear for long periods and feel substantial without being too bulky. The service from Knox was second to none, with speedy delivery direct to the door. Many thanks Knox :thumbsup:

The Defended MTB shorts were ordered on a Friday and arrived in California the following Tuesday. Great service. I have just used them to go skiing. Excellent product and excellent service. The shorts are very comfortable. You don’t actually feel you are wearing protective gear….ALEX

I am using these for greenlaning, they are of high quality, fit perfectly and cover the gaps in my currently clothing. Totally recommended

I bought the Defender MTB Shorts after hitting the deck on my commute recently. It turns out the blue surfacing on London’s Cycle Superhighways turn into something akin to an ice rink for rubber when wet, yet still gives your skin a good road rash when you skid along it!
Since buying the Defender shorts a couple of weeks ago I have ridden over 100 miles with them and while I haven’t (fortunately) properly tested their impact resistance, I have found them to be remarkably comfortable. The armour is very flexible, not too bulky, stays in place nicely and does not chafe at all, even when riding low in the drops (ie flexed right over at the hips). The only reason they did not get the fifth star from me is that I did not find the chamois particularly comfortable on long rides to the extent that I have taken it out and cut out the velcro fixing pads from the inside of the shorts, which has solved the problem.
I’d love to see a bib short version to keep my lower back warm in winter.
In any case, I am really pleased with my purchase and am definitely going to buy one of the armoured shirts next.

Great product i use this for downhill mountainbike and so for no real hip crash so i cant say anything about the protection but the comfort is good enough that you wont notice them.

(verified owner)Defender Shorts really lived by its name.
Bought in November and to be honest that since I put them on.. it suddenly gave me a feeling of total support and a complete sense of protection.
It’s really worth it.
Once I am wearing it, it gives me an additional support while doesn’t feel bulky of over the top.
Wear it and forget it as it was there..
Totally worth it
Great job Knox
