KNOX ORSA OR3 TEXTILE MK3 GLOVES
THE RENOWNED ORSA TEXTILE, NOW WITH IMPROVED STRENGTH.
The Orsa Textile Mk 3 is a great fitting glove. A mix of perforated leather and tough four-way stretch mesh rib on the back of the hand. There are abrasion-resistant finger guards and honeycomb gel is used over the floating knuckle area which is housed in a strong but flexible outer shell. Soft but strong breathable Clarino is used on the palm for maximum feel and dexterity.
Orsa textile gloves are touch screen enabled and the finger ends have a seamless finger wrap for extra comfort. A new SPS impact system is the most recent development of the Knox patented Scaphoid protection system.

Knox SPS
Scaphoid injury is the most common hand injury caused by the grab effect when the palm of the hand makes contact with the ground.
The Knox SPS works by attaching 2 parts to the palm of the glove, making a bridge over the scaphoid. These plastic parts act as a slider eliminating the grab effect and scaphoid injuries. This has proven to be a very effective system for riders with no loss of flexibility, discomfort or interference with the controls when operating the bike.
Knox SPS is patented technology under the following Patents No: EP1594378 & US8671463
