Dual-Fit
A unique Dual Fit Underarm Zip System changes the fit of the jacket on the arms and body. Open the zip and the jacket becomes bigger allowing armour and warm layers to be worn comfortably underneath. Off the bike, remove the armoured layer and close the underarm zip system for a perfect fit.

It’s tight fitting and stretches due to elasticated material which is something I had to get used to.
If you like looser fitting jackets you’ll have to go a size up I expect.
My only concern are the removable cuffs which look like they’ll do their job but are attached using tiny buttons
(really small – I have slender fingers and have problems attaching these) and every time I remove the jacket,
no matter how carefully, most of the buttons come undone!
This will definitely become annoying when the weather is cold and wet (when you need the cuffs) and
you have to fiddle with these buttons all the time.
The collar has the same buttons but is easier to get at making it a little easier.
I think zippers instead of buttons would be the only thing you’d need to improve this jacket.

The Jacket I bought is an excellent garment and with the option to open out the arms via the zipper the under armour fits a treat.
I bought a size up as I wanted to wear a summer leather underneath and use the All Sports Jacket as my winter outer layer.
The rain and wind have not penetrated at all and I feel comfortable with the flexibility on the bike.
There are enough packets and these too are weather protected.
Another great buy from Knox for me.
I am impressed by the level of quality of the construction, materials and detailing of the product. As a product designer with a sharp eye I’m quite picky on these things, but I love the the simple elegant design, fit and detailing of the All sport jacket.
Unfortunately for me size S was still way to big. I am 170cm tall, but have a short upper body. Feeling sad I need to return the jacket, because I would love to wear it even when not on the motorbike.

I just got my L's here in Sydney, Australia and was looking for proper motorcycle wear to keep safe on the road for the short commute to the office in the city.
Visiting motorcycle apparel shops here was disappointing over and over again. Jackets were expensive, bulgy, did not fit in all the right places and felt like they were designed to fit on a mannequin, not a human being. I almost resigned myself to riding with less protection rather than buying something expensive that I'd hate.
Enter Knox. Reading a blog post and watching videos from urbanrider.co.uk convinced me to check them out. Complete 180deg.
Products: I purchased a mens Medium all sports waterproof jacket + Medium Urbane armoured shirt.
The aesthetic was exactly what I was looking for: modern, understated, urban. Seperating armor from jacket was so obvious it almost feels inevitable. Why aren't others doing it yet? But for me, the feature that sealed the deal was the dual-fit zipper system. I can't say I'm super fashion conscious, but at the very least a jacket should not make me look like a kid wearing his dad's jacket, right?
Naturally, I was concerned about fit. Buying something that cost a decent penny without trying it first was unnerving, plus returns from Australia to UK wouldn't be cheap.
Enter Jennifer Shone. Chatting with her on Live Chat allayed all my fears about sizing. 10mins later, I was confident in my purchase and made it.
Ordered on a Monday, received in Sydney on a Friday via UPS.
Wow.
Great packaging, and the jacket felt waaaaay better than I imagined. Clearly blows any other motorcycle jacket I've seen here in this price range. and the YKK zips...... ooooooooo...... The longer I wear the jacket, the more I enjoy the little details the designer put into them. Wearing the jacket makes you feel like someone really thought things through, and put a lot of care, love and attention into the details.
Zero regrets, will certainly be purchasing more items from Knox in the future, and can't wait for a store here in Sydney Australia to carry all your products. Take my money already!
