Very happy

I wanted to upgrade the foam pads in my Goretex jacket. I also have the Urbane Pro which fits underneath if I take out the insulation layer. Decided to buy this when I saw the sale price. Not much more than the cost of the armour alone, and it fits under my Goretex with the insulation layer.

Comfortable and protective
04 April 2024 by Zeka S
You can hardly feel that you are wearing armour with this jacket and allows me to wear casual leather jackets on top of this or other motorcycle jackets to increase the safety rating of the product without all the additional bulky armour within the jacket. Highly recommend only drawback is it's A rated, so I look forward to Knox producing a double or triple A version.

My first Knox product.
01 April 2024 by Paul S
I wanted an armoured lightweight jacket for the summer to wear under normal, non-armoured clothing so as not to have to spend a fortune on separates, the price of which can be ridiculous.
The first item I purchased was too tight and too bulky so I decided to take it back in person so that I could try the other jackets that were in stock.
I decided on the Knox Action Pro Shirt, because it was so comfortable and could easily be worn with moto-cross style shirts or even my checked padded shirt over the top.
Really looking forward to some warm weather now so I can try these combinations out.
Many thanks to Adam at SPORTSBIKESHOP near Boston. Really helpful and nothing too much trouble despite how many times he got sent back into the stores for yet another jacket.

Feels great- good protection level too
23 March 2024 by D H
Purchased recently as I do occasionally get to too warm when riding but don't want to sacrifice protection levels. Have worn it on a couple of warm afternoons and have been really pleased with it. Very comfortable and I can wear it under my normal bike gear too. Looking forward to summer.

Armour where it should be
29 February 2024 by Anonymous
I bought this armoured shirt as I wanted motorcycle protection that was more comfortable, flexible and versatile. The action pro shirt definitely ticks that box for me.
The armour feels like it's in exactly the right place. It feels reassuringly secure without being restrictive. Another plus point for me is that it can be easily worn under other jackets. Layering up makes more sense for me rather than trying to find one jacket that is protective, warm in winter, cool in summer, waterproof and looks good. With this, you have a good level of protection and you can added additional layers that suit the weather and time of year.
The only slight negative for me is that the thumb loops feel like they're slightly in the wrong place so they stretch quite a bit at an awkward angle. It's a minor point though and after a while you don't notice them.
I did try the urbane pro before this as I wanted a AA rated jacket ideally but I found that one restrictive, so went for this one instead. It's A rated but that suits most of the riding I do and I will always have another jacket over the top.

Feels secure
29 May 2023 by A W
Good shirt feel comfortable in it and I love the belt loops that keep it in place, for the British summer so far it's actually too cold to wear on its own so I just stick my normal jacket on top for warmth and extra protection with no problem. Only issue is the thumb loops are a bit too tight for my longer arms.

Knox Action Pro Shirt
26 March 2023 by Jon B
I ride a modern classic motorcycle and like to wear attire which matches that of the same theme. This can be difficult but after making this purchase I can now wear what I like over the top! The Knox Action Pro Shirt is absolutely fantastic for what I need (especially as I only ever travel at slower speeds on mentioned motorcycle).
Anyone riding a modern classic wanting to look dapper in the DGR would benefit from the under protection this provides.
Would definitely recommend sizing up (as fit is snug as per purpose of garment).
Sportsbikeshop gave amazing service as usual with quality product.
Thank you.

This is just what I wanted, I wear it under a aramid hoodie and it works perfectly. It's very well made and really comfortable. Order a size up if you don't like a snug fit!

Excellent knox action pro shirt

Feels so supple and comfortable especially on elbows. Not like other body armour. Really good fit and flexible, only been on one ride for about 4 hours. Makes you feel secure and protected. Top class product and top class service from the guys at Boston sportsbikeshop.

Description
Armoured shirts are at the heart of Knox protective apparel. They were first invented by the brand in the 1990s. They've been a signature style ever since. Wearing a close-fitting armoured shirt is the best way to protect a rider. It ensures the armour is comfortably held in the right places, rather than it moving around in a loose jacket. With Knox, motorcycling is rendered Seasonless. There is no spring, summer, autumn, or winter wear. Instead, riders have one hard-working, layered outfit. This is built with an armoured shirt at its core. It can then be adapted to suit all weather conditions by either adding or subtracting layers. Discreet body armour can be found in the Action Pro armoured shirt. This armour sits in a super stretchy shirt. This has been designed to all types of motorcycle riders, and it offers superior abrasion and impact resistance. The Arction Pro shirt isn't just for motorcyclists. It's also suitable for other adrenaline sports including eBike, MTB and Off Road riders as well as those doing Snowsports, all looking for valuable protection. The shoulders and elbows are approved to EN 1621-1:2012 L1 and Level 2 back protector is approved to EN 1621-2: 2014 L2 CB. These Micro-Lock protectors are guaranteed for five years when registered. In the Action pro shirt, abrasion resistance comes in a package that is form-fitting, lightweight and breathable. Athleisure aesthetic and performance wear meet in this shirt to give the wearer optimum protection with optimum comfort. This is thanks to its construction. Being made with sustainable Sorona® Agile, an eco-efficient fibre which is partially made with plant-based polymers from Dupont, this fabric has a subtle piquet texture, yet has high levels of strength, stretch, and stain resistance. This makes it a perfect fit for the hard-working Action Pro. Armour in the back, shoulders and elbows can easily be removed for washing the shirt. The Action Pro is CE approved to EN 17092 - 4:2020 for road use with a Class A certification. It can be worn on its own for warm weather riding, or when it turns cool or wet, the wearer can simply add a warm or waterproof layer from the Knox Seasonless Collection.

Questions and Answers
Does this jacket have good enough abrasion resistance to wear on its own or with a normal hoodie. Would it offer the same protection as a textile jacket? Many thanks James
January 19, 2023Unfortunately, this is a personal choice. Whilst the armour shoulder/elbow is level 1, back protector level 2 , chest protector available separately, you will find higher level of abrasion resistant with some textile jackets with this armour.
