The original Knox Urbane Pro was an instant hit and is one of those rare products that speaks to the wider motorcycle market. No matter what type of bikes you are into, the universal appeal and versatility of the Urbane Pro will cater to your needs. It can be used as an armoured mid-layer as well as an abrasion-resistant, vented summer jacket.

If there was one thing lacking from the Urbane Pro's design, it would be storage options. In comes the Urbane Pro Utility, at its core exactly the same as the original, but equipped with 5 tough duck canvas exterior pockets.The Urbane Pro Utility is an armoured shirt that places the impact protection exactly where it should be: close to your body. Knox have implemented their proprietary Micro-Lock armour in the shoulders, elbows and back. Micro-Lock armour is flexible and malleable no matter what temperature you're riding in, but instantly hardens upon impact and disperses the energy. 

The Urbane Pro Utility does not just offer excellent impact protection, though: it is constructed using high tenacity stretch nylon and tough, breathable arrowmesh. Both of these fabrics were chosen for their abrasion-, cut- and tear-resistance. This means that the Urbane Pro passes the new CE regulations for motorcycle gear and is classified Level A. In other words: this is all the jacket you need. 

Stretch mesh panels give the Urbane Pro Utility added flexibility and comfort, and you'll soon forget you're wearing protective gear at all. It also makes this an ideal garment for riding in hot temperatures, with the mesh allowing airflow throughout. Getting a bit nippy? Wear your favourite jacket or sweater on top. Or your suit jacket. Or your pyjamas. It will have your back whatever outer layer takes your preference. When empty, the pockets sit close to the garment without adding too much bulk, so there won't be any unsightly bulges with an added layer on top.
