KNOX ACTION PRO - URBANE PRO MK3 - HONISTER
Let’s start off by cheekily cramming three products in one spot and highlighting Knox’s core armoured layers. Trust us when we say they all deserve a spot on this list. Which one is right for you depends on the kind of riding you do!
You have the choice between the Action Pro, Urbane Pro and Honister, respectively rated A, AA and AAA. Knox armoured shirts can be worn on their own with no other jacket required. They are all constructed using abrasion-resistant mesh which provides amazing airflow in hot conditions, while their form-fitting nature means the industry-leading Knox Micro-Lock armour will always be in the right spot. Extend their usability by throwing any other layer on top to cater to the weather.
All Knox Armoured layers are available in a men’s and a women’s version.
REVIT ECLIPSE 2
Next on the list is the newest iteration of a very popular jacket in our range: the Rev’It Eclipse 2. It is one of the lightest jackets in our range and provides amazing airflow. It is constructed from strong mesh on the chest, stomach, back and under the arms. The impact zones consist of a 600D polyester that will offer protection in case of a slide. Your elbows and shoulders are kept safe from impact by Revit’s slimline Seesmart armour and there is a pocket for an optional Seesoft back protector. This combination grants it a CE Level A safety certification.
The Eclipse 2 is available in a men’s and a women’s version.
BELSTAFF TEMPLE
Next up is a returning staff and customer favourite. The Belstaff Temple is perhaps the jacket in this line-up that looks least like an outright motorcycle jacket. It has less venting than the ones above but the mesh panels on the shoulders, arms and waist combined with the lightweight nature of the jacket will still make your hot weather rides a lot more comfortable.
The Temple is a CE Level A certified jacket and comes with super subtle D3O armour in the shoulders and elbows, with a pocket for an optional back protector. The Jacket is now available in 5 colours.

FUEL ARIZONA
Leave it to Fuel to design a completely utilitarian jacket and manage to make it look uber-cool while they're at it.
Featuring huge mesh panels crafted from abrasion-resistant heavy polyester on the front, arms, and back, airflow won’t be a problem. The rest of the jacket is crafted from luxury suede panelling, keeping a vintage aesthetic for what is a technical modern summer jacket underneath. Top-grade impact protection comes in the way of Level 2 CE armour inserts at the elbows, shoulder, and back, so you’re more than covered in that department. The Arizona sports a CE Level A safety rating.
MERLIN SHENSTONE
Merlin's Shenstone jacket is ideal for those hot summer rides. Its impact areas are constructed from abrasion resistant 8oz Cotec Wax Cotton material, while massive panels of robust mesh on the chest, back and sleeves allow for tons of airflow. The jacket comes with perforated D3O LP1 armour in the shoulders and elbows and includes a level 1 D3O back protector. This garment has received an AA safety rating according to the latest standards, no small feat for a jacket as breathable as the Shenstone.
Even the hottest of days can turn sour with rainfall and the wind can get a bit chilly when it gets dark. This is why the Shenstone is equipped with a zip-in, removable Reissa Active waterproof membrane which will do an excellent job keeping rain and wind away from your body.
The Shenstone is available in a men’s and a women’s version.
