Life changing! I ride on the hottest days and don
25 July 2025 by Susan A
The feeling like your under the grill when riding in direct and hot sun is gone! There is a mesh on the back of the calf which effectively cools your legs down but there is plenty of protection to the hips, knees, outer thighs and coccyx so they feel like they are more protective than my RST and Oxford Jeans when wearing them. They fit really well and are more comfortable than riding Jeggings and wash easier looking like new afterwards.
Since I have bought these I have been out on the hottest days where I wouldn't have risked the over heating before. I bought 2 pairs as they are seriously worth it in the hot weather .

Perfect!!

Honestly these are the best trousers I’ve ever tried on, they fit in every way, the armour is exactly where it should be and moulds to your body.
I cannot recommend these enough, especially for the ladies.
Wore this for several days in 24° heat and maintained an even temp, no annoying sweaty spots where the armour sits, went through a rain shower and still kept me warm while riding, and dried out super quickly.
In fact since getting this I’ve not worn any other trousers.

Great Summer Protection or Undergarment
06 July 2025 by Steve C
I bought this product as I find riding in M/C jeans and cargos too hot during our mini heatwaves and they do the job well. You can also use them as an undergarment like other Knox products. I've also worn them on the trails removing the knee protection and wearing leg braces over the top. This stopped they knee braces rubbing my shins and gave me hip coxix and abrasion protection. Great product so far.

Perfect

Fit is true to size (snug) all armour is where it should be for protection, feels very secure especially with having thigh armour, Spot on for under enduro/motocross pants.
Guys at Boston are always helpful.

Supreme Comfort.

I have waited decades for Motorcycle Trousers like this !...Finally, here they are, courtesy of Knox ! As a motorcyclist since 1968, many brands have tried to make the ideal kit ...as far as I am concerned, Knox have achieved their objective with the Action Pro 2 Trousers, comfort similar to wearing Under Armour Challenger 4 way stretch trousers...heavier, yes, ...for obvious reasons, but so close it's uncanny. My only gripe is, that I would like to have seen them with AA armour ,at least in the knees...and that's it !... Fit and quality of materials is beyond reproach...in my old opinion...nothing comes close.

Description
The Action Pro Trousers MK2 are new for 2025 and are even more advanced, stylish and adaptable than their predecessors. A unique unisex cut has been developed for the Action Pro MK2 that flatters all body types, male or female. The new athleisure trousers offer unrivalled stretch, abrasion resistance and impact protection while remaining discreet, and is now more breathable than ever. Designed to be worn on their own or can be worn under motorcycle jeans. Certified to EN 17092 - 4:2020 Class A.
Made using Sorona® Agile from Dupont, a sustainable fabric which is an eco-efficient fibre partially made with plant-based polymers. The fabric has a subtle piquet texture, and high levels of strength, stretch, and stain resistance. Paired with Knox's four-way stretch mesh for unrivalled airflow and monochrome contour fabric for a sporty feel.
Now with two welded zip pockets on the thighs, the rider can store their belongings securely in an easily accessible place. The thigh and hip armour pockets are discreet and hidden on the inside, alongside a brand new adjustable waistband making the Action Pro Trousers MK2 suitable to be worn on their own, not just as an undergarment.
Designed with much larger mesh panels for 2025, making the trousers more breathable than ever. A zip-entry at the ankles, complete with subtle branded mesh elastic, has been added for ease of access and makes gearing up a breeze. The reflective details on the calves are activated by light, meaning the rider will always be visible on the go.
The Action Pro trousers contain an amazing amount of impact protection, unrivalled in coverage for motorcycle trousers. A full set of low profile and discreet New Micro-Lock Compact armour, not only in the hips and knees but also on the thigh and coccyx too. The Micro-Lock protectors are easily removed for washing.
Micro-Lock Compact protectors are the most progressive from Knox, with advances in all key areas. Up to 60% lighter, thinner and more supple for all-day comfort. They are engineered to move easily with the body when riding and have excellent form recovery. A patented Flex and Adapt, side closure system, opens and closes naturally and gives uninhibited movement. The closure system also provides unbroken coverage, ensuring the rider always remains protected.
