Knox specialise in body protection across a number of high action sports.

Their Motorcycle range is highly recognised.

Providing a child can reach the footpegs of a motorcycle and they are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, children of any age are permitted to ride as pillion on a motorbike.

Knox have recently introduced a great addition to their already extensive range, a childrens Kompakt Back Protector.

The Childrens Kompakt weighs less than 250g but amazingly provides protection that meets and exceeds the current CE Approval System, testing at EN1621-2, Level 1. Proven to offer the wearer significant amounts of protection, the Childrens Kompakt is a great way to encourage a positive attitude within children at an early age, to wearing safety equipment.

Measuring 37cm x 23cm (15 inches x 9 inches) this back protector has been produced for children from 140cm (4'6 in height) making this suitable for children of an average height, aged 10 years and over. Torso length should be approx 350mm (see chart below).

Naturally strong, the hexagonal honeycomb interior is proven to absorb mass amounts of energy in an impact, acting in a similar manner to a car's crumple zone.

Comfort is enhanced with a spacer fabric backing for breathability and an adjustable Velcro waistband with Increased Posture Support (IPS) for a close fit.

Available in 1 size. Suitable for children with a torso length of approx 350mm.
