Knox have invested all they know about protection in the AEGIS to create the most technically advanced back protector available. Named after the mythological protective shield of Zeus, king of the Greek Gods, the new AEGIS back protector is the result of an intensive 12-month R & D programme.

Statistics show that over 25% of injuries to motorcyclists rated ‘maximum’ or ‘critical’ (the ones that cause crippling injuries or death) affect the spine yet there are still a significant proportion of riders unwilling to use a back protector. So the design team at Knox concentrated on tackling comfort, safety and style to resolve the issues raised by riders as significant factors when choosing a back protector.

By developing solutions to these issues Knox have produced the most technically advanced and user-friendly back protector available today.

Fit

Wearing the incorrect size of back protector can result in an uncomfortable fit, limited protection and restriction in movement, so the AEGIS is offered in 7 sizes engineered specifically for children, women and men.

It has a multi position waist strap system that may be adjusted not only for length but also moved up and down, giving precision fitting. It also ensures that the rider can fix the back protector in the correct position so it does not ride up during use. All sizes have a new integral shoulder strap slider system too that allows the straps to adjust automatically.
