Having tried one on today, I’m seriously thinking of a Knox Tor jacket; the fit is great, and the logic of holding protection where it’s needed is not really questionable.

However, I’m also planning on investing in an airbag, probably the Alpinestars Tech-Air Plasma 5.

Unfortunately, Knox tell us that the jackets have not been tested with airbags, and so not to use one underneath! But to use one over the top would defeat the purpose of a mesh jacket.

So, we all being grownups, who are allowed to think for ourselves, and to make considered decisions, has anyone ignored the advice/instruction, and worn an airbag beneath such a jacket? If so, how did it go?

My local shop does have demo airbags… maybe they’ll let me try one beneath a Tor jacket…hmmm
