HAZARDS THAT THE “GLOVES” WILL PROTECT AGAINST.

• Prevention of some laceration and abrasion that occurs when the hand hits the ground or road surface after falling from a motorcycle.
• Reduction in the severity of contusions and fractures, with the prevention of some fractures. -Reduction in the severity of
  injury to the wrist and Scaphoid.
• Reduction in the severity of injury when the hand becomes trapped between a motorcycle and the road. Likely prevention of contamination of open fractures by road dirt when the gloves are worn.

HAZARDS THAT THE “GLOVES” WILL NOT PROTECT AGAINST.

• Severe bending, crushing or torsional forces particularly those which occur if the hand becomes trapped between a
  motorcycle and another vehicle or the road.
• Massive penetrating injuries to the hand.
• In particular, broken fingers or wrists may not be prevented by the gloves.

FIT AND ERGONOMICS

In order to benefit fully from the protection offered by the gloves you should ensure that the fit meets the following criteria.

(i) That no discomfort is caused by the glove or the protective parts when you are in your usual riding position and that you are easily able to reach the controls.

(ii) That you are wearing the correct size of glove. (If the gloves are too tight they may restrict circulation which causes tingling in the fingers and speeds a loss of feeling, making the hand become colder. – If the gloves are too big your hand will move inside the glove which will compromise machine control.)

(iii) Handroid gloves are designed to fit Over the cuff of a garment. Tuck the garment sleeve into the glove and tighten the Boa cuff, ensuring that there is no gap between the garment and the glove.

(iv) All other Knox gloves are designed to be worn Under a garment cuff. Ensure the garment sleeve is long enough to meet the glove and can be fastened securely over the glove.

SIZING

The size range has been designed to comply with the requirements of EN420 which specifies minimum dimensions of the hand. Knox gloves are available in the following sizes:

ADJUSTMENT: Gloves with Boa dials. To open the gloves pull the Boa dial which releases the lace and opens the cuff. Release the velcro wrist security strap and put the glove on. Close the wrist security strap, push the Boa dial down and turn clockwise. This dials in the lace which closes the cuff to give a secure close fit.

Gloves with Velcro wrist closure: To open the glove pull the cuff strap open. Insert hand into glove. When the glove is on, close the cuff strap. This should ensure a tight but comfortable fit.

Note: Zero and Strom gloves are designed to sit under the jacket sleeve..
