Tony, great review, one thought, when you road tested your bike had hand guards, my bike also has hand guards and they divert just about 100% of the passing air over my hand, so if your hand gaurds are as effective as mine, how did you test the air flow through the material to your skin. I am really keen on a reply as I am desperately needing summer gloves.
will have to check them, have palm L/XL but fingers M and that fact giving me lot of problems to find good fit, nice review as always, 30K subs is a huge mile stone history good luck for 40K, cheers V!
I like these gloves. They look rather like those Rev'It ones. I bet these are better. I'll get a pair when I'm back in Europe along with a pair of their mesh pants. I'll pass on the jackets, though. I don't like them. Good review, Tony.
Kox gloves don't fit me, always fit funny on thumbs. I've a pair of androids and the gloves you are showing. Only gloves and I have maybe 20 pairs from various manufacturers that don't fit or feel right. Shame I love the urban pro shirt.
Me too is abit of a Knox fanboy,,, that being said I think those gloves are rather pricey,,,, Good but pricey,, I use a pair of Triumph mesh cruiser gloves in summer,, comfort for £35 (five years ago)
Yes it is, but if they last and offer comfort and airflow in hot weather then I think its a decent investment. There are always going to be a cheaper option, but maybe not with this level of protection and the breathability combined? I pais £129 for a pair of Halvarssons Advance gloves, and they are still going strong four years later.
@@mancavemoto You are right too Tony,I bought a pair of Kushitani race gloves in 2001 and still have them,but apart from looking a little scruffy they are fine.You do after all only get what you pay for.👍
Nice review Tony. These gloves look to be an ideal next choice for me! I like the not too in your face style and that cuff system is genius! At 100 quid they seem to be very reasonably priced for the spec. Well done Knox!
Just watched this again. I never got round to buying any kit last year when I went back to Portugal from Thailand, but I'm going back again next weekend, so I'll be stocking up on kit from Germany. No chance of importing anything from GB anymore. The big question: have these gloves held up in the last twelve months, Tony?
They've done pretty well, although I switched to a pair of Rev'it Caliber gloves which I found more comfortable, and being light grey are better on hot sunny days
@@mancavemoto had a few rides with these now and they’re great. Fit on the right thumb was a little tight but seems to be getting better with use, probably just my fat thumb 😆 nice to find some gloves that are available in larger sizes too (does no one else have big hands?) Good comfort and enough airflow to keep your hands cool on really hot days and getting caught in the rain wasn’t an issue, hands stayed dry but then I do have hand guards on the bike which obviously helps. Better feel than the thicker gloves I used to use, although that does mean you feel a little more vibration from the engine through the grips at higher revs, but that’s obviously just my experience with my bike specifically (Triumph Street Scrambler). A very good glove overall and will be using them until it gets too cold. Will be interesting to see how they work with the heated grips in cooler weather.
I have a problem with their sizing. I’m normally a size L, ie large, but Knox has me as a size 2XL! I could understand if the jackets/shirt were made in the Far East, but for an English manufacturer, a bit strange.
The garments are supposed to fit tight. I ride in some warm weather (Atlanta Georgia USA) and the Knox Urbane shirt is not easy to get off when I have been sweating.
I was advised by Knox to wear a base layer shirt under my Zephyr Pro and Urbane Pro Shirt. I use either Adidas Alpaskin or Harley Davidson Mesh shirts, which soak up the sweat; as I ride in hot Andalusia.
I bought these gloves and the touch sensitive fingers didn’t work at all for me. Probably will send them back. They r kinda sized small also. But very breezy tho great ventilation
