Knox Urbane Pro Gloves - Air flow & Protection for summer riding
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- On the face of it, the Knox Urbane Pro gloves promise to offer just what you need for summer or hot climate riding. Breathability and airflow to keep your hands cool and comfortable, but not at the expense of decent levels of protection.
Their all leather Orsa MKII gloves have been my go-to summer choice up to now, but will these topple them? Some people are not too keen on the bulky knuckle armour of the Orsa, and although perforated the full leather glove can still get a little sweaty.
The bods at Knox have thrown a lot of their features into the new Urbane Pro glove, but do they deliver on what they promise out on the road?

Nice review Tony. These gloves look to be an ideal next choice for me! I like the not too in your face style and that cuff system is genius! At 100 quid they seem to be very reasonably priced for the spec. Well done Knox!
Congratulations on hitting 30K subscribers Tony! Well deserved growth of your channel. 👍🏻
Thanks Mark, much appreciated

Very helpful Tony. Thanks mate.
No worries Sir, enjoy!
will have to check them, have palm L/XL but fingers M and that fact giving me lot of problems to find good fit, nice review as always, 30K subs is a huge mile stone history good luck for 40K, cheers V!
Cheers V, I have. Similar problem with quite wide hands but short fingers. I’ve always found Knox to be a brand that fit me pretty well.
Bought some of these and find the measurements off, I alway have medium so measured up and their guide did indeed recommend a medium, but they were so tight especially when actually riding the bike and reaching for the levers, it's like my fingers tips wanted to burst through the ends of the glove and I struggled to take them off. Ordered a size up but waiting on delivery, will see how I get on. Otherwise the gloves actually look and feel great, quite premium.
Nice gloves.
Tony, great review, one thought, when you road tested your bike had hand guards, my bike also has hand guards and they divert just about 100% of the passing air over my hand, so if your hand gaurds are as effective as mine, how did you test the air flow through the material to your skin. I am really keen on a reply as I am desperately needing summer gloves.
Just copped the MK2, gonna cop these to complete the set
I’ve just got my MKII utility shirt and I love it. Will be a permanent part of my riding wardrobe going forward. Trousers to try next
Nice T!! Owner of Workshop Seventy 7 is a good mate of mine! 🏁🏁
Nice review too!
Thanks! 👍 David is a lovely chap, I did a photo shoot for him a while back and bought a t-shirt whilst there and drooling over the lovely machinery!
I was at 38 C in my Knox Orso 2. They were soaked and soggy after.
Hi Tony, great review video as usual.
It was good meeting you yesterday at the Goldtop shop.
Thanks Dave, good to meet you too
Love the trousers and shirt and I might have to give them a try.
The shirt is great, and I'd like to give the trousers a try too
I have a problem with their sizing. I’m normally a size L, ie large, but Knox has me as a size 2XL! I could understand if the jackets/shirt were made in the Far East, but for an English manufacturer, a bit strange.
The garments are supposed to fit tight. I ride in some warm weather (Atlanta Georgia USA) and the Knox Urbane shirt is not easy to get off when I have been sweating.
I was advised by Knox to wear a base layer shirt under my Zephyr Pro and Urbane Pro Shirt. I use either Adidas Alpaskin or Harley Davidson Mesh shirts, which soak up the sweat; as I ride in hot Andalusia.
Tony! My maaaan.
I bought these gloves and the touch sensitive fingers didn’t work at all for me. Probably will send them back. They r kinda sized small also. But very breezy tho great ventilation
They look good. Just ordered a pair. Hopefully no more sweaty palms on hot days. They seem to be available in bigger sizes than a lot of gloves too.
Cool, it'll be interesting to see what you think of them
@@mancavemoto I’ll let you know 👍🏻
@@mancavemoto had a few rides with these now and they’re great. Fit on the right thumb was a little tight but seems to be getting better with use, probably just my fat thumb 😆 nice to find some gloves that are available in larger sizes too (does no one else have big hands?)
Good comfort and enough airflow to keep your hands cool on really hot days and getting caught in the rain wasn’t an issue, hands stayed dry but then I do have hand guards on the bike which obviously helps.
Better feel than the thicker gloves I used to use, although that does mean you feel a little more vibration from the engine through the grips at higher revs, but that’s obviously just my experience with my bike specifically (Triumph Street Scrambler).
A very good glove overall and will be using them until it gets too cold. Will be interesting to see how they work with the heated grips in cooler weather.
I like these gloves. They look rather like those Rev'It ones. I bet these are better. I'll get a pair when I'm back in Europe along with a pair of their mesh pants. I'll pass on the jackets, though. I don't like them.
Good review, Tony.
Cheers Bud
Great reviews! Any updates on how they are holding up? I've heard that they fall apart quickly?
I’ve been wearing them a lot since the review, and still holding up fine. No issues so far
@@mancavemoto thank you sir!
I’ll do an update video at some point, or if I have any problems
Nice review! What's the t shirt???
It’s a Workshop 77 t-shirt…..
Curious how these compare to Knox Orsa MK3 textile and to a lesser extent the leather Orsa gloves
I have a set of the orsa leather gloves, and these are lighter weight with a little less armour
Will they be a good glove for touring Croatia next week in hot weather
I think so yes, plenty of air flow
Just watched this again.
I never got round to buying any kit last year when I went back to Portugal from Thailand, but I'm going back again next weekend, so I'll be stocking up on kit from Germany. No chance of importing anything from GB anymore. The big question: have these gloves held up in the last twelve months, Tony?
They've done pretty well, although I switched to a pair of Rev'it Caliber gloves which I found more comfortable, and being light grey are better on hot sunny days
@@mancavemoto I'll have a look at the Caliber gloves. Thanks, mate.
Compared to Rev It Sand 4, what is your opinion?
I've not tried the Sand 4 yet, but i'm hoping to soon. I do like Revit Gloves, but i sometimes struggle with the sizing
Me too is abit of a Knox fanboy,,, that being said I think those gloves are rather pricey,,,, Good but pricey,, I use a pair of Triumph mesh cruiser gloves in summer,, comfort for £35 (five years ago)
4:58 No Pun Intended 😆
How do we wash it?
I assume you can wash them at 30c in a washing machine, but you’d need to check with Knox
That's all well and good but 100£ is allot of money for a pair of gloves Tony. 🤔
You are right, I chose the Furygan Volt ,58 quid!🤔👍
Yes it is, but if they last and offer comfort and airflow in hot weather then I think its a decent investment. There are always going to be a cheaper option, but maybe not with this level of protection and the breathability combined? I pais £129 for a pair of Halvarssons Advance gloves, and they are still going strong four years later.
@@mancavemoto You are right too Tony,I bought a pair of Kushitani race gloves in 2001 and still have them,but apart from looking a little scruffy they are fine.You do after all only get what you pay for.👍
Kox gloves don't fit me, always fit funny on thumbs. I've a pair of androids and the gloves you are showing. Only gloves and I have maybe 20 pairs from various manufacturers that don't fit or feel right. Shame I love the urban pro shirt.
Yeah I bought some today in size medium (all my other gloves have always been medium) and the guide chart tallied up with that choice but they felt way too tight, literally no room at the finger tips to allows for clenching making it harder to reach and actually pull the levers in, and found them a struggle to take off. Pretty sure they shouldn't be that snug? I've ordered a size up to see how I get on as they are otherwise great gloves.
No chance I'm spending 100 squid on gloves
