Given Knox’s track record, it was only a matter of time before we saw this - their true pièce de résistance. After the unmatched success of the CE Level A Urbane Pro, then it’s more protective successor the MK2, there was no direction left for Knox to go. The Honister is an armoured shirt CE Approved to Level AAA - the highest class available, usually reserved for one-piece leather race suits. This achievement truly cannot be understated - this is an armoured base-layer that offers the highest level of protection on the market, without sacrificing any of the breathability or lightweight comfort of its predecessors. It is nothing short of groundbreaking.
Knox redesigned the Armoured Shirt from the ground up to achieve this. Named after the mountain pass closest to Knox HQ, the Honister is constructed from a brand new combination of hyper abrasion-resistant CORDURA® polyamide, and tough mesh panelling. Low-profile Level 2 Micro-lock armour is included at the shoulders, elbows, and back is slimline, and fits close to the body - exactly where it should be. Soft to the touch, and hardening on impact, it’s held in place thanks to built-in stretch material, essential for rider comfort on longer journeys and for ease of movement. A Micro-lock chest protector can be added as an optional extra.
With hardy YKK zippers throughout, featured on the handy pockets for your personals, the Knox Honister is sleek too. Minimal and discreet branding is coupled with hidden reflective elements for added safety in low-light conditions. Thumb loops keep you secure, and a soft interior neck collar will keep you as comfortable as can be. If this wasn’t enough, the Honister is machine washable - simply pop the armour out, and follow the wash instructions.
The Knox Honister truly is a game-changer. If you’re new to the Armoured Shirt world, then know that this is the pinnacle. It unlocks true freedom to express your style however you choose on your bike. In the heat, wear on its own, or with just a Tee over the top. Pop on a denim jacket, or your favourite vintage leather. If the weather turns, just layer up however you see fit, with a waterproof and/or thermals - you will always be as protected as it is possible to be if you are wearing the Honister Armoured Shirt.

- Go to summer jacket 1 people found this helpfulExcellent fit and very comfortable. Plenty of airflow and my go to summer jacket either touring or on my sports bike.Having unfortunately hit the tarmac whilst riding, I was delighted that the armour did its job very well. I was also wearing Knox handroid and the scaphoid protection saved my wrists! You can’t go wrong when you buy Knox. Highly recommend
- Perfect fit, looks like I’m 0 people found this helpfulPerfect fit, looks like I’m not wearing any armour with a hoodie on top and thats with the chest protector as well!
- Looks good and high quality 0 people found this helpfulLooks good and high quality
- Honister Jacket 0 people found this helpfulGreat jacket, high quality, not too heavy and highly vented, comfortable and not itchy on the arms if you have a TShirt - if its cool you will need a base or over layer. Sizing ok but when you're a 55 year old beardie bloke it always seems you need to upsize for your love pillow, it needs slimline, normal and "relaxed" cuts for the gut area.... Anyway, recommended
- Poor stitching for the high price 0 people found this helpfulI wear this vest for week .and oready start notice the stitching falling u can see clearly the material used for stitching its sow teen .even the mech around the arm .I head to use latter to burn all the fabric getting loos Don't advise anyone to bay it now .but when prices go down or in sale we'll be great product Knox is new in clothing maby in future well get better with finich but I think they should don't charge there product like high and brand ho have years off experience with motorcycle clothing.
