The Essential Armoured Motorcycle Shirt and new innovation in rider protection apparel.
A lightweight, armoured shirt that is CE approved as a standalone “Class A” garment.
Designed to be worn on its own in hot weather with no other jacket required, the Urbane Pro is the ultimate lightweight, breathable, impact and abrasion resistant shirt.
It delivers freedom, comfort and protection on a motorcycle, like never before.
In changing weather conditions add warm or waterproof layers over the top, knowing that the Urbane Pro is still the CORE abrasion and armour layer beneath. The Urbane Pro also works seamlessly with Knox outerwear jackets, which expand to accept extra layers
This is another first for Knox who have been pioneers in armour since 1981 when the founder, Geoff Travell, created the world’s 1st back protector.
The first Knox Armoured shirt was released in 1994 and in the following 25 years, it has been the Knox mission to provide riders with close fitting protection, in one easy to wear solution.
With the introduction of the revolutionary Urbane Pro, CE approved abrasion resistance is built in, meaning an outer shell is no longer necessary unless you want to wear one.
Designed to be the most versatile, CORE garment for any rider, no matter what motorcycle they ride. Worn close to the body, the armour stays in place and won’t move around.
Made by Knox in the UK using technical fabrics specially selected for their abrasion, cut and tear resistance.
Skilfully designed and crafted by Knox from the ground up with added stretch panels for comfort and flexibility so you can forget you are wearing armour.

The Urbane Pro fits perfectly under an arctic park, so you can enjoy the ride all year round.
The product quality is phenomenal. The fit is perfect - jacket feels like a second skin. I wear a size L so my pick was XL, but if your belly isn’t instagramable enough, you may consider 2XL, as the jacket is ultra tight.
I love the concept of layering and the ability to ride in all normal clothes from your everyday wardrobe. My next purchase will definitely be the Thermal Quilt when it's available again.
As I ordered the jacket at the end of December 2020, the only inconvenience is Brexit as I had to add customs duty, VAT and an additional UPS charge to the price which made the jacket 50% more expensive.
Regardless, great purchase and I am very pleased with the jacket.

As a protection shirt it has to fit well to do it’s job and it is a tight fit which is good.
A little loose on the arms as I don’t have a muscular build. It would be nice if the waist area was elasticated
for those of us without six packs
It certainly gives you a feeling of confidence and I look forward to trying it out with loads of different outer kit.

Fit is brill!! tight but that is the point, love Knox ideas about layers just feels substantial.
I love the fact i can use this in the summer or winter with a good Jacket i see my next purchase will just have to be a Knox over Jacket. If your reading this know this these guys and gals hit a home run with the Urbane Pro Shirt!!
Big smile from the Green Isle.
Just one thing: If you wear a 'normal' jacket over the Urbane Pro Shirt, and ride at speeds over 100 km/h, you may ruin that jacket with insect impacts ....
This is as solid product that I truly believe saved me from a great deal of additional pain and misery. Highly recommended.
The quality of the shirt itself is simply AWESOME! It fits (now) perfectly and feels extremly safe! I‘m very happy with the quality and honestly it’s a real steal for the price! I would recommend it to every rider and I‘m sure it won’t be the last product I ordered from Planet-Knox! 10/10
Wear
The first thing that struck me was how heavy it is. Having said that, however, the weight is not noticeable once it is on.
I ordered a size larger than I thought I needed as, as Knox say, it is designed to be a tight fit and it certainly is! This has big advantages if, like me, your body has been sculpted to perfection by beer as the jacket also acts as a very good girdle!
The jacket is beautifully made and of excellent quality and when in use (in my case up to 40º plus Celsius) it keeps you surprisingly cool.
All in all an excellent product and very good value for money. I would recommend the Urban Pro Armoured Shirt to all my fellow bike riders

I really like being able to not wear a waterproof /windproof layer on hot days and also when arriving at the destination can remove and walk around in non-biking clothing.

My normal size is XL, but because I am a gentleman of a certain age, my belly has expanded out of proportion with the rest of me, so I rang for advice, and settled for 2XL. Perfect fit!
I wear it with a tee-shirt underneath, which is ideal for hot summer days. For cooler weather, a hoody or fleece, and for British Standard Rain, a rain jacket over the top. It makes for the perfect layering system, and I am confident that the armour stays where it will be the most useful, unlike the jackets I have worn up till now. The armour itself is the most comfortable I have worn.
So do I regret spending all that money? No, I do not!
Yesterday I got to wear the Urbane Pro with nothing over top for the first time. It was about 30 degrees out, and a perfect day for riding, and riding in my Urbane Pro was amazing. I stayed cool and enjoyed my ride with the knowledge that even though I was so cool and enjoying the lovely breeze, I was still fully protected if anything went wrong.
This thing is amazing and adaptable to all weather conditions by simply layering more over top of it as required.
Those outer garments don't even need to be expensive items that offer the usual motorcycle protection...because you are already wearing that!

I just threw a jacket over it when it rained. job done.
Superb piece of Riding Gear .. cant wait for the sun to come out again
Would anticipate wearing this from May-November here in temperatures from 20c-36c.
Highly recommended.
For sizing references (I used the size guide in this web and it was perfect) I am 1'73 m tall, I weight 70 kg and M size is really confortable. As it is somehow elastic I could wear a S size, but it would be a little bit tight for me.
In summer I will buy shoulder and elbow level 2 protections, but the back protector in the urban pro shirt is really good (other jackets built in protectors cover much less surface). I will do this because I travel a lot; if I was going to drive in the city, I won´t need any other protectors.
I don´t give the maximum rating because of the shoulder and elbow protections and because it does not have belt loops, but in a 0-10 escale I would give it a 9.
Service was top rate as well, all in all a well deserved 5 star item.
