DescriptionThe whole story▼
Light Grey is the coolest-looking and coolest-wearing version of the men's Knox Tor. The pale shade reflects more sunlight than black, which matters on an armoured shirt designed for adventure and touring in hot weather, on tarmac and gravel alike.
Underneath the colour it is the full Tor: an EN 17092 Class AA garment with Micro-Lock Compact Level 2 armour at shoulders and elbows and a full-length Level 2 back protector, strong enough to be worn without a jacket.
Key Features
- Class AA to EN 17092 as a stand-alone riding garment
- Level 2 Micro-Lock Compact shoulder, elbow and full-length back armour fitted
- Lightweight high-tenacity stretch fabric with In-Motion mesh
- Four front and one rear zipped pocket, four internal pockets
- Visor wipe and key clip in the chest pockets
- Raglan sleeves with adjustable rivet cuffs
- Prepared for an optional Knox chest protector
What Knox Built the Tor For
Knox has been making armoured shirts since the 1990s and applied that experience to adventure riding with the Tor. The aim: a shirt you can wear all day on a big trail bike, that stays comfortable when you are standing on the pegs and that still protects properly when you are on the ground.
Certification to EN 17092 Class AA means the garment as a whole passed abrasion and seam tests at that level, so it counts as protective clothing by itself rather than an under-layer.
Protection in Detail
The Micro-Lock Compact armour is Knox's thin, flexible protector range, here at Level 2 in shoulders and elbows. The back protector is full length, also Level 2. Because the shirt fits close, the pads do not twist or slide on impact.
There is a Velcro attachment inside the front for a Knox chest protector, so you can complete upper-body coverage later if you want to.
Comfort on Long Days
Knox describes the Tor as lightweight and super stretchy, and the construction backs that up: high-tenacity nylon with five percent spandex for the main body and a two-tone In-Motion mesh for airflow. Raglan sleeves give freedom in the shoulder, and adjustable rivet cuffs let you set the wrist opening around your gloves.
Reflective piping, reflective zip pulls and a reflective Knox print at the front and back of the neck make sure you are visible after sunset. A PVC Knox badge sits on the sleeve.
Pockets and Layering
Five zipped external pockets, a key clip, a visor wipe and four internal pockets make the Tor a self-sufficient travel garment for day rides without a tank bag. When rain arrives, Knox's Tor Shell in Light Grey slips on over the shirt and packs back into one of its pockets afterwards.
Washing the Light Grey Tor
Because a pale shirt needs cleaning more often, it helps that the Micro-Lock Compact pads come out easily. Remove shoulder, elbow and back armour, close the zips and wash the shirt following the care label; refit the protectors once it is dry, checking that each one sits flat in its pocket.
What You Should Know
Light Grey shows dust, mud and chain lube far more readily than black; plan on washing it more often (remove the armour first). The Tor offers no rain protection by itself and no insulation.
The chest protector is optional and has to be bought separately.
Colour
The Light Grey Tor reads as clean and technical, and in the sun it stays noticeably cooler to the touch than darker shirts. It is also easier for other road users to pick out against dark tarmac and forest backgrounds. The trade-off is dirt: grey highlights every splash from a puddle, so this is the shirt for riders who don't mind a regular wash cycle.
