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. Zipped pockets for securing valuables or a mobile phone.
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 Urbane Pro Utility Shirt features 5 tough duck canvas exterior pockets. Both styles have 2 handy interior pockets.

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.

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!
