I tested lots of mesh jackets and some high end supposedly “high airflow” jackets like the Klim Marrakesh but none of them came close. The Knox Urbane MK3 was the only one that was suitable to wear in temperatures north of 25°C for any length of time and being AA rated to boot. I even wore it with a Dainese airbag on a long ride with temps over 30 and stayed relatively cool. The only jacket I’d consider in hot temperatures, a fantastic bit of kit for the summer. These are meant to be worn close to the skin and be a relatively tight fit but I found I needed a size up from my normal sizes. Sportsbikeshop customer service was fantastic as usual.

Great top. Great fit. Does the job. Very nice to ride in, in very hot weather. Lots of ventilation, and enough room underneath to layer up when the weather cools off. Great service as always from SBS, thank you.

Feels very protective this shirt. The weight is its only downside,
It's very well made and feels very protective. Great in summer where i wear it with just a jersey over the top. It vents well.
Included protection is good but the whole thing is a little heavy. Saying that, can't say I really notice it when its on.

MY PERFECT SUMMER JACKET!

I've just bought the Knox Urbane Pro MK3 men's jacket in silver chain mail, and I look like a knight in shining armour, only kidding, it's more greyish than silver. I've got about a 42.5" chest, and I'm usually a large, but I had to buy the XL size (see pics). The problem I always have is that I've got wide shoulders, so sometimes clothing is a bit tight around that area. Plus, I also bought the chest armour for added protection, you have to factor that in as well. The jacket is very impressive, it's excellent quality, and best of all it's from a UK based company, Planet Knox, who are based in Cockermouth, Cumbria. I tested it out on the first really hot day we've had in 2026 in the UK, and what a result! I was very impressed with the airflow and the light weight, even with all the armour fitted. It was about 23°C in the shade, and I rode the whole afternoon for a good few hours in the hot sun wearing just the jacket. You could feel the airflow around your body; it kept me very cool, and it was extremely comfortable to wear. The jacket also looks great when you've got it on, as well, and I also like the way I'll be able to layer the garment up with my other gear when the seasons change. It means I'll be able to take the armour out of my leather and my Gore-Tex textile jacket, and wear the Urbane Pro underneath as base layer.

Every other "summer" motorbike jacket I've bought has made me sweat like a pig, and that includes my very expensive Klim Marrakesh! They simply didn't have the airflow of the Knox Urbane Pro because of their design and the materials used. After many expensive failures over the years, I've found what seems to be my perfect summer jacket, and at last my search is finally over. I highly recommend this summer mesh jacket if you're looking for one, it's well worth the money. Good luck, and ride safe.

Glad I chose this over a armoured hoody

Absolutely loving this urban shirt.
Fit like a glove from the moment I tried it on.
I buy 42" chest and bought a Large.. nice and snug.
I throw a hoody on over the top, the ringlets are great for keeping the sleeves in place, great touch.
You feel the air flow mainly on your arms, which is so nice when riding, leaving me nice and cool.
Elbow, shoulders and full back protection give you that confidence. I love it.
Would definitely buy again & recommend.

Hankering for one of these for quite a few yrs since they came out price, available sizes etc got in the way.
Managed to buy one for upcoming warmer weather alongside the duel pro jacket for cooker mornings. The vest/shirt is a godsend for cooling effect whether its at 40 + mph or in standing traffic.I tried the 2XL but settled on 3XL after help from a nice female member of staff helped out finding the 3XL on the shop floor.. 2XL Seemed like i was fighting for room going up a size give me more shoulder room/ arm length... two pockets on outside phone pocket inside samsung S24 ultra fits nicely.
Armour sits nice its quite heavy but reassuring colour silver/black is a nice contrasting colour i have long arms so fitted nice and do gym work so accommodating bigger builds. I love this and the duel pro jacket with liner fits like a glove in 2XL
Sportsbikeshop staff rushed off feet at boston but helpful.

Worn once so far, good quality finish. Useful additional pockets. Like the finish of a visor cleaner on a retainer on the outside pocket. I am a medium usually and fit was spot on. A bit heavier than I thought it would be.

A Summer Must Have

Fits so well and is very comfortable. Excellent in hot weather as the mesh lets so much air through without compromising safety. On a long tour through various weather patterns, its a must. Can layer over or under to suit your preference. Packs away quite small too. Quality materials and Excellent pockets.

For someone who gets hot and sweaty when the thermometer gets above 10 degrees this is the best thing ever invented.
Love it, wear it with a cool base layer or a heat base layer depending on temps, so comfortable and looks the dogs danglies. Very snug fit, can look a little unflattering if you have a belly…should come with a free gym membership.

Just not a great fit for me, at 5ft 2 I found it too long in the body and arms. The size which did best fit my body was too loose for my liking on the arms. But we are all different shapes. Did seem very well made though.

Feel great. Doesn’t feel like armour in separate jacket which is stiff and heavy. Feels light as it’s close to body and feels flexible after a few minutes wearing. Waiting for the new Modra jacket now to go over.
