Cut resistance on palm: ≥2N (Newtons) Seam strength: Main seams ≥6kN per millimeter. Tear strength: on palm ≥ 25N and back hand ≥ 18N (Newtons) Impact safety – Carbon finished knuckle armour, CE Level 2 certified knuckle impact protection Scaphoid Bone protection: KNOX® Sport SPS (Scaphoid Protection System) Part #301 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.
