Knox’s new Tor armoured shirt and waterproof shell combo claims to have been inspired by the Lake District, but it’s named after the granite-peaked hills found in the South West of England. However, either location would provide the perfect setting to test out its capabilities.
Designed for tackling adventures both on- and off-road, the slim-fitting shirt is made from nylon with Spandex incorporated to provide stretch. There is plenty of mesh panelling used across the chest and back to provide ventilation, and it’s fitted with Knox’s Micro-Lock Compact CE Level 2 protectors at the shoulders and elbows, along with a full-length back protector.
When the weather turns more inclement, it’s time to add the shell over the top of the shirt. It’s made from ripstop nylon with a 10K-rated waterproof membrane and has sealed seams to keep the rain out. It’s a pack-away design that folds into its own pocket for easy stowage. A full-cover reflective print means its subtle looks become more distinctive, and far more visible, in the glow of headlights.
The AA-rated shirt comes in a choice of black or sage green with a charcoal grey shell, or light grey with a matching light grey shell. All come in sizes S-5XL for an SRP of £399.99.
