You love feeling the freedom on your motorcycle, but the weather can be unpredictable. The solution? A well thought out layer system! Learn how to be optimally equipped for every trip with our products.
1. The base layer: First line of defense against the weather
A good base layer is like a second skin. It should efficiently transport moisture away from the body and at the same time provide thermal insulation. Materials such as merino wool or advanced synthetic fibers, such as those used in the *Knox Long Sleeve Shirt Max* or our MaxlRIDE Adventure T-Shirt , are ideal. Not only do they offer excellent breathability, but they also have antibacterial properties that prevent unpleasant odors.
In addition, you can quickly rinse them in the hand basin with warm water in the evening and the next morning they will be dry and ready to continue your journey. This also saves luggage.
2. The middle layer: Your protective shield in every situation
In the middle class, the protection factor is crucial. Materials such as Kevlar or Dyneema are used here, which are processed in products such as the *Knox Urbane Pro Shirt* . These fabrics are not only extremely abrasion-resistant, but also surprisingly light and flexible. Integrated, CE-certified protectors in key areas provide optimal impact protection without compromising freedom of movement.
The protector shirt should fit snugly, but not cut in and give you enough room to move. The removable protectors should be Level 2 certified. And ideally you can add a chest protector.
The key advantage of the protective middle layer is that you can now wear anything over it. From a cool long sleeve to a moto jersey or a casual overshirt for rides in the city to a weatherproof jacket for long tours.
3. The outer layer: durability and comfort in one
The outer layer must protect you from wind, rain and cold. Materials such as Gore-Tex or similar technical fabrics used in the *Knox Dual Pro Jacket* are an advantage. These fabrics are not only waterproof and windproof, but also breathable, allowing moisture to escape to the outside. Additional features such as sealed seams and waterproof zippers maximize protection.
In colder regions, a removable, thin but warming inner jacket is ideally integrated. You can usually roll these up tightly and store them away.
4. The interaction of the layers: flexibility in every driving situation
The secret of the layer system lies in its flexibility. Depending on the weather, you can add or remove layers. Knox Seasonless products, for example, are designed to work seamlessly together to give you the best protection and comfort. But with the right base and middle layers, many of the high-quality products from other brands in the Bad & Bold online shop also work as an optimal and stylish outfit. This means that you can concentrate fully on your tour, whether in bright sunshine or in a sudden downpour.
5. Practical tips for your equipment
- Choose materials that wick away moisture and provide thermal insulation.
- The middle layer should be abrasion and cut resistant while offering freedom of movement.
- The outer layer must be robust, waterproof and breathable.
- Look for additional features such as reflective elements for better visibility.
Conclusion:
An effective layer system is essential for every motorcyclist, especially on longer rides and multi-day tours. With products from Knox Seasonless, for example, you are well prepared for any weather condition. They offer the perfect mix of protection, comfort and style so you can enjoy every ride to the fullest.
