Exactly what it says on the tin! The Knox Urbane Pro Shirt is designed to be worn on its own in good weather with no extra layers are required. Just add a warm or waterproof jacket for protection from the elements.
Absolutely, the Knox Urbane Pro Shirt Mk2 can be worn all year round. It is the most versatile garment on the market, due to its lightweight and breathability for hot weather. In cold weather just layer up over the top with warm and waterproof layers. Its perfect for layering.
In line with the EN17062 standard the Urbane Pro Shirt features thumb loops to ensure correct fitment to the arm and to mitigate the garment moving/sliding during a fall. The shirt features a new improved security belt loop system on the inside to ensure riders can secure their trousers to the shirt. A Velcro strip on the chest area allows an optional Micro lock chest protector to be fitted.
The Urbane Pro Shirt features two exterior pockets, one on the chest and one back pocket large enough to store a rain jacket if required. The Mens Urbane Pro Utility Shirt features 5 tough duck canvas exterior pockets, where as the Women’s has 3. Both styles have 2 handy interior pockets.
The Urbane Pro Shirt is designed to be worn as a CORE protection garment for any rider. This means the rider can layer up with a hoodie or jacket if preferred.
The shirt is supplied with CE approved Micro-lock Level 1 low profile shoulder and elbow and a full CE approved level 2 Micro-Lock back protector. An optional chest protector can be added. It is also possible to replace men’s LV1 Shoulders and Elbows to men’s Level 2 shoulders and elbows at the point of purchase. An additional Charge is made to cover this upgrade.
This is a machine Washable garment – remove armour before washing. Always read the wash care labels.
The Urbane Pro Shirt is designed to be a close-fitting garment, we recommend visiting the sizing section below and for a comfort fit select the next size up. Alternatively if you are unsure please email sales@planet-knox.com or contact us on our live web chat.
The elbow, shoulder and back protector armour is all removable.
Class AA is a certification level which is part of EN17092 – the European standard for motorcycle protective clothing. The garment is tested for dimensional stability, impact energy absorption, impact abrasion resistance, seam strength and structural closure, tear strength, sleeve restraint and finally fit and ergonomics. Of course, the product needs to pass all of these tests to be certified. There are 5 CE levels (AAA, AA, A, B, C) which are all tested differently dependant on the use of the garment (i.e. AA – is a class usually reserved for motorcycle textile suits).
The main difference is that we have taken a huge step forward in fabric construction with the Mk2.
The MK2 shirt uses new and exclusive Knox materials that have been engineered for improved abrasion, tear and cut resistance. As a result, we have been able to improve the performance of the Urbane Pro Mk2 and gained a CE classification of AA, which is a standard normally reserved for heavier leather and textile jackets.
Importantly this has been done without a gain in weight, thickness, and no loss of comfort, or breathability. Other subtle differences include new branding. A Knox badge celebrating Knox’s 40-year heritage, new discreet Class AA branding on the inside and a reinforced security belt loop system on the inside which secures the shirt to a pair of trousers.

(verified owner)Bought this to go to South Africa, but it could be some time in the future due to covid, so started using it.
The jacket is comfortable and practical, but its the versatility that adds a new dimension to your riding comfort. Hot weather wear it with a tee, in summer add a light wind or waterproof–travel light. In winter combine it with an insulation layer and a full gortex outer. Great piece of quality kit!

(verified owner)Just received my Urbane Pro Utility MK2. Does what is says on the tin, high quality, well made, ventilated jacket with an excellent level of protection. Fits comfortably under other jackets or looks great on its own. Sizing is very good, I am just over 6ft with a 46inch chest and 36inch waist and bought a XXL which fits snug on my chest and arms although it’s a little lose around the belly, but overall very comfortable. The jacket is heavier than I expected but after a few hours riding I forgot I had it on. Very pleased with it 🙂

(verified owner)Having just taken delivery, I haven’t been out in the Urbane Pro Utility 2 yet but it appears to be a quality piece of kit. At 6ft tall and carrying a bit of excess weight (105kg) the XXL is close fitting but very comfortable. I’ve no doubt it’s going to be a great buy for an upcoming Spain trip and I’ll leave a further review once I’ve put it through its paces. Fantastic service from Knox. Thank you.

(verified owner)Quality clothing, bought it for France but needed it here this summer. Great fit, very comfortable, works perfectly in hot weather. Go to jacket for hot days. Also useful the way you can attach to your belt for additional safety in the event if an off.
