HAND ARMOUR FOR WINTER - KNOX ZERO WITH OUTDRY

Knox Hand Armour completely redefined the way we think about motorcycle gloves when it was launched in 2009. Now Knox will be the first manufacturer to produce a waterproof glove using innovative OutDry® technology. Hand Armour for winter use, the Zero offers reliable waterproofing and temperature control alongside patented scaphoid protection and BOA fastening. Traditionally motorcycle gloves are made waterproof by inserting a membrane between the outer shell and inner lining (below right). Although this system is reasonably efficient for keeping hands dry, it leaves a gap between the shell and the waterproof barrier, where water can stagnate and create an unpleasant wet, cold sensation. That's why so many winter gloves become heavy and water-logged in rainy conditions and can take days to dry out. The OutDry® system is based on a patented lamination process: the waterproof and breathable membrane is bonded directly to the external glove's shell by the action of pressure and temperature, creating a unique body which seals the stitching and any other potential water entry point (below left)

This lamination process blocks the wind on the glove's outer surface, reducing the effect of wind chill and, since there is no gap for air between the shell and the membrane, cold air cannot circulate. This allows a layer of warm air to develop, dramatically reducing the risk of condensation from excessive perspiration, maintaining stable hand temperature.
Featuring the dialled-in Boa Lacing System used across the entire Knox Hand Armour range, which uses a dial to draw ‘side pods' over the wrist for multi-adjustable closure, the wearer can get hands in and out of the ZERO quickly and easily, even operating the Boa dial with a gloved hand. Boa's micro-adjustment helps to eliminate tight spots and restriction to blood flow, which can contribute to cold hands and fingers, and allows proper positioning of the ZERO's cuffs over thick winter riding jackets, helping to keep out wind and rain.
With drum-dyed aniline leather on the fingers and back of the hand, and a tough yet supple goat leather and Amara Grip Pad with silicon for increased feel and grip on the controls, the Zero uses top grade materials.
Protection is also important in a winter glove, as wet and icy conditions can increase the risk of accident, so the ZERO features Knox's Low Profile Scaphoid Protection System with abrasion resistant Shoeller Keprotec reinforcement at the palm.
Due in UK showrooms early in 2011, the Zero is expected to retail for around £130.  For further information contact Knox on 01900 825825 or visit www.knox-lab.com .
