Style Notes

The Honister MK2 offers the highest level of CE protection at Class AAA, with added stretch and superior breathability, and is intended for riders who require the highest level of performance when riding in warm/hot weather.

Elevating the Honister to Class AAA, with unrestricted air flow, is no small achievement. Class AAA usually comes with weight and heat penalties, translating into a thick, hot and heavy garment.
With the Honister MK2 however the result is high performance, stretch comfort and unrestricted airflow.
The Honister MK2 has been years in the making for Knox. Building on its predecessor, the armoured shirt utilises a new high tenacity fabric that has been specially developed, as well as super strong engineered mesh panels carefully designed to add in even more airflow for 2025.
Wearing an armoured shirt is truly a different experience compared to wearing a traditional motorcycle jacket. No more ill-fitting baggy jackets or leathers that get too hot. The Honister MK2 is streamlined, breathable and comfortable and offers the highest form of protection without compromising on looks. An improved cut gives the Honister MK2 an attractive fit that suits all body shapes and the new design of a stylish flat collar improves rider comfort in the heat.
Three weightless welded pockets sit on the external of the jacket, as well as internal pockets specifically designed for the rider’s mobile phone and earbuds. The rider can tailor the fit to their body perfectly with a brand new side adjustment system on the hem and adjustable rivet closure system on the cuffs. The Honister MK2 features all-new updated branding to the front chest and back, and signature prints hidden inside the zip guard. Complete with subtle reflective details on the front, back, and even throughout the zip pulls ensure the rider always stays visible.
All the zips in the Honister MK2 jackets are by YKK. There are two zipped side pockets and one zipped large back pocket. The Honister MK2 comes complete with Knox’s signature security belt loop system fitted on the inside, so that riders can secure their trousers to the jacket.
Discreet, high performance Knox body armour can be found in the Honister armoured shirt. The shirt is fitted with Micro-Lock Compact, the most progressive protection from Knox.
Micro-Lock Compact is engineered to move easily with the body when riding and has excellent form recovery.
A patented Flex and Adapt, side closure system, opens and closes naturally and gives uninhibited movement. The closure system also provides unbroken coverage ensuring the rider remains protected at all times.
Micro-Lock Compact Level 2 shoulders and elbows are approved to EN 1621-1:2012 L2 and a Level 2 back protector is approved to EN 1621-2: 2014. An optional chest protector can be purchased and fitted separately.
The Honister Mk2 is part of the Knox Seasonless® Collection. With Seasonless® there is no spring, summer, autumn, or winter wear. Instead, riders have one hardworking layered ensemble with the armoured shirt at its core. Easily adaptable to suit all weather conditions by either adding or removing layers.
