Reviews Knox’s armoured shirt is protective, versatile, and cool enough for summer while allowing layering for chillier rides
Customers praise this jacket for its excellent quality, thoughtful design and strong protection.

Several customers note that it performs brilliantly in warm weather, with good airflow and lightness, while others mention it can feel snug or require sizing up. Overall, it is seen as a versatile, well-made option worth the money.
Feels great and part of you - easy to move in and no wrinkling or bagginess
I've been really impressed with the Urbane Pro Mk3 so far. It's genuinely comfortable to wear, both on and off the bike, and the fit is spot on for me. I haven’t experienced bunching or riding up in the wrong places. The armour stays exactly where it should, which gives confidence that it'll do its job if you ever need it to.
The seasonless concept is what sold me on it and so far it's living up to the idea - one shirt that adapts to different conditions rather than needing separate gear for every season. Early days, but everything about it so far suggests this is going to be a long-term staple in my kit
This is newest favorite jacket at the moment. Just really well made
I think this is one of the best bits of bike kit I own. I never rode without leather before I purchased this. Several times now I have gone for rides that would be too hot for leathers. We rode back from Aberystwyth to Walsall in 36 C heat this summer. Would of been unridable in leather. I found the thumb straps annoying so i just cut them off. Phone pocket is just big enough for a Galaxy phone. Might be snug on a bigger phone. Other pockets are a bit small. Comfortable on 130 plus mile rides.
I've tried a few armored shirts and this is by far the most comfortable and makes me feel most protected. The chest protector is a great addition
The only thing that caught me off guard was the weight — not a complaint, just unexpected. I wore a base layer, the Knox jacket, and a waterproof fleece over it because the first outing was in the rain. The armour stayed perfectly in place and the jacket felt great from the start. I’d planned to add a thicker layer underneath, but honestly, I didn’t need it.
As soon as the rain stopped and the sun came out, I warmed up quickly and ditched the waterproof jacket. The airflow through the Knox was brilliant and made the ride really comfortable. I’m genuinely loving this jacket — it’s already my number one choice.
The mesh on this armoured shirt allows the air to pass right through. Great on a hot summers day.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Knox Urbane Pro MK3 is extremely well made, comfortable and offers a great combination of protection and flexibility. It fits snugly, keeps the armour securely in place and is surprisingly comfortable to wear. The quality is outstanding and the design looks great in black. Very happy with this purchase and highly recommended!
Have had Knox gear before and liked the look and quality needed to upgrade so went with the Urban pro 3. Good fit and feels comfortable on ,amour and full length back protection complete an all round great piece of kit.
Bought this in the heatwave when I was cooking in my leather jacket. it's kind of a cross between a shirt and a jacket. lovely and airy on its own, goes well under something else. even looks pretty cool. it's going to be pretty useful for a lot of the year, whether on its own or layered up. not cheap but seems beautifully made too. 100% a good buy
Very breathable mesh, good level 2 armour coverage, thoughtful features and a decent fit make this a great choice for warmer weather. Yet to try it with layers over as it cools down or rains, but I like the versatility.
Recently purchased trousers was so impressed I bought the Jacket with the next level armour.
Fits brilliantly the armour stays in all the right positions making you feel protected should the need arise.
During this hot period I have been riding in just the suit which has kept me amazingly cool and for when the weather changes I can slip on optional clothing for warmth.
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.
Fantastic in summer nice and comfortable and safe!
Very comfortable and lightweight with lots of protection perfect for the warm weather
Great safety features and easy to fit ordinary clothes over.
Very comfortable jacket great in hot weather so cool don’t really know you’ve got it on and as normal excellent delivery service thank you
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.
