Product Information
Full details
The Knox Aegis Back Protector is a high-performance safety essential designed for motorcycle riders, skiers, and mountain bikers who prioritize impact protection without sacrificing mobility. This CE-certified Level 2 protector features a unique sliding spine design over a shock-absorbing honeycomb structure, providing robust safety that adapts to your body's natural movement. While it offers industry-leading protection and ventilation, new users should take time to adjust the multi-position straps properly to ensure the protector remains secure during high-intensity activities.

FAQs
Is this protector suitable for all types of motorcycles?
Yes, it is versatile enough for sport, touring, and adventure riding styles.
Can I wear this while skiing or snowboarding?
Absolutely. The flexible design is specifically engineered for multi-sport use.
Is the Aegis compatible with my existing chest protector?
The Aegis is designed to be compatible with Knox CE Approved Chest Protectors.
How often should I wash the liner?
You can wash the liner as needed, typically when you notice a buildup of perspiration after intense activity.
Does the honeycomb core degrade over time?
The structure is designed for durability; however, it should be inspected for cracks or damage after any major impact.
What does CE Level 2 mean?
It indicates the protector has passed rigorous testing to absorb more impact energy than the standard Level 1 requirements.
Troubleshooting
Protector feels loose or shifts while riding
Re-adjust the multi-position waist strap for a tighter fit; ensure shoulder straps are tensioned correctly.
Difficulty moving the neck while wearing
Loosen the shoulder straps slightly or reposition the waist belt lower to allow the spine plates to shift downwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Aegis, begin by wearing your riding jacket or mid-layer to gauge where the protector should sit. Adjust the waist strap to ensure a snug fit around your lower back, then adjust the shoulder straps so the top of the protector sits high enough to cover the upper spine without restricting head movement. The unit is designed to be compatible with optional Knox CE Approved Chest Protectors for comprehensive torso coverage.
For care, simply unclip the removable liner from the main structure. It is recommended to wash the liner on a delicate cycle and allow it to air dry to maintain the integrity of the spacer fabric. Wipe the external plastic plates with a damp cloth if they become soiled after off-road use.
