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. 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.
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.

Great product, light and good to wear under other jackets or hoodies if weather is warm. Lose one star as pockets are far too small. Need to work on pocket size to be useful. Should fit phone as a minimum.

The urbane pro shirt is great for the hot summer. My wife wears this in south France, where summers really are hot. It allows lots of air to flow through. I cannot vouch for it’s abrasion resistance as we have not fallen off (touch wood). Like all Knox products the armour is very comfortable. Again, I luckily have not had the opportunity to test the effectiveness of the armour. The pro shirt is very well made and sturdy. I think it will last a long time and its washable which is a necessity. Its true to size and it is not stretchy like the action shirt so you need to get exactly the right size. Great product.

I love my armored shirt, great fit, durable!!!!

I absolutely love this jacket. It’s comfortable on hot So Cal days and has a stylish, corseted fit.

The Urbane Pro is a life saver in the Summer. Not only does it allow you to enjoy riding in comfort with total protection during the hottest months of the year. It is also stylish and fitting and a great travelling companion. It takes up much less space than any other motorcycle jacket and you can simply wear your favourite every day jacket over it if the temperature drops a little. I often wear it with a nice leather jacket or with my down jacket on a colder day, and when I get to my destination I have a normal jacket with me. Also the armour is nice and flexible and it fits snugly against your body, giving you peace of mind. The back armour is a bit heavy, but you don’t geel it when you wear it. Its comfortable enough.

Best motorcycle jacket ever. Cool to ride in summer only with this jacket, it gives protection but isn’t too warm. But also great in wintertimes, because you can combine it with any jacket without lacking protection. Love it. Best Buy!

Perfect choice – for colder days with a leather jacket, for warmer days with just a thin windproof one. Surprisingly soft and nicely snug, always stays in place. The pockets are really small though, that’s the only imperfection.

Just Amazing

I own a previous version of the Knox armoured shirt, which I have been very happy with (even thought it is slightly small on me). This version was on offer with a jacket purchase, so I decided to upgrade. Very happy I did, it is much more comfortable, and actually a jacket on its own. Was out in 5 degrees this morning and wearing this under the Levett jacket really kept me nice and warm.

I never ride without safety gear, so this is just perfect for commuting or for quickly getting a sixpack from the gas station. It feels very safe, yet quite cosy and I wear it under all of my jackets
Andrea
A great summer jacket for the Australian heat. Unfortunately the stitching on one of the pockets has come undone which is disappointing given the price of this jacket.

Looking for a jacket that will provide every safety feature and be so lightweight and non-bulky at the same time? Then look no further. Knox are one of the UK’s leading motorcycle garment companies that incorporate both safety and style, without their products being too bulky or heavy. I have just purchased the Knox Women’s Urbane Pro and I cannot put into words how happy I am with it. It fits perfectly which means the armour does not move around and stays in place – this in comparison to other jackets where the armour will constantly move and become irritating whilst riding. The Urbane Pro was previously recommended to me from a family member who said the garment is perfect for summer as it is breathable which not many jackets are and hence you become overheated when riding in summer but not with the Urbane Pro. If you are looking for a jacket that shall go above and beyond, choose Knox Urbane Pro.

(verified owner)I love this jacket! So light and airy while feeling solidly safe. The guys at Knox were so helpful over their online chat to help me with sizing as I was in between sizes. For reference, I am 36-26-37 (a size 8/10 l, but with a bust which can make me a 12 in some jackets). I ended up ordering both a small and medium for comparison, and although the medium appeared better sizing on paper, I found the small to be a better fit for me; it is stretchy around the chest and so there is plenty of give to accommodate without leaving me feeling stifled. I also felt that it fit better around the neck, and the elbow armour felt more snug. My sister-in-law (size 10) happily bagged the medium! Superb jacket, nothing not to love, and whilst it’s not the cheapest I feel it’s very cost effective as you can layer over with any jacket or top whatsoever knowing that you have your PPE below. It is also a nicely flattering cut. This is my first purchase from Knox, but I will be a returning customer!

(verified owner)Absolutely amazing bit of kit. I’ve never wore a more comfortable and lightweight jacket, and stunned it has AA rating as well.
I have a large chest of 38inches and find the 12 to be a perfect, snug, bodily fit. I’m normally a 10, and do find the arms to be a little baggy and not as tight fitting as the body but it’s still a VERY comfortable fit. You can really feel the quality of the materials used, perfect to just put a thing base layer and it flows alot of air. I wear mine with a jersey for visibility on nicer days.
The armour is second to none and have even hung up my Knox back protector. It forms to your body after about 5/10minutes of wear and sits perfectly. The back armour covers well.
I’m 5ft 3 for reference, 56kg, size 10 with a 36 bust.

This jacket is literally perfect! It’s stretchy so fits the female form. It’s not bulky but is super protective. Wear on its own on a hot day, or throw on a hoody or wind proof jacket on cooler days. It’s the jacket for all riding conditions. Size down as it’s stretchy 🙂

(verified owner)Ordered from Australia. Arrived in 5 days. Lovely quality, feels awesome on. Nice and cool. I even had a friend look at it and go order one. I used the size guide. I’d class myself as a medium but according to the size guide came out a large. That’s what I ordered and it fits great.
