Product Information
Full details
The Knox Micro-Lock Chest Upgrade is designed for riders seeking enhanced chest protection that integrates seamlessly with Knox Aegis Back Protectors. Its key benefit is the advanced Micro-Lock Armour, which remains soft and comfortable during normal wear but hardens on impact to absorb energy. A potential consideration is that it's an upgrade component, requiring a compatible Knox back protector for full functionality.

FAQs
What is Micro-Lock Armour?
Micro-Lock Armour is a proprietary protective technology from Knox. It remains soft and comfortable for everyday wear but has the ability to lock and harden upon impact, absorbing and dissipating energy to protect the wearer.
Is this chest protector a standalone item?
No, the Knox Micro-Lock Chest Upgrade is designed to be attached to a Knox Aegis Back Protector. It enhances the protection offered by the back protector but is not a standalone chest guard.
How do I clean the chest protector?
The soft mesh cover is removable and washable by hand with mild soap and cold water. The Micro-Lock Armour itself should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth and should not be machine washed or submerged.
What is the certification level?
This chest protector is certified to EN 1621–3 Level 1 standards.
Will this fit any Knox back protector?
This chest upgrade is specifically designed to fit the Knox Aegis Back Protector using its integrated fitting system. Compatibility with other Knox back protector models may vary.
Does the Micro-Lock Armour work in cold weather?
Yes, a key feature of Micro-Lock Armour is its temperature stability. It remains softer in the cold and maintains consistent impact performance across all temperatures and environments.
Troubleshooting
Chest protector does not fit securely onto the Aegis back protector
Ensure the Aegis back protector is correctly oriented and the fixing system on the chest protector is properly aligned with the corresponding slots or hooks. Check for any obstructions.
Armour feels stiff or inflexible
Micro-Lock Armour is designed to be soft at ambient temperatures. If exposed to extreme cold, allow it to warm up to body temperature or room temperature for a few minutes. It should regain its flexibility.
Cover is difficult to remove or reattach
Gently pull the cover away from the armour. When reattaching, ensure it is fully stretched and aligned over the protector before securing any closures.
