Starting in 1981, Knox launched the first commercially available back protector under the Pro-Tek brand. This was followed by the award-winning Pro-Tek Elite suit in 1988, which was the first motorcycle jacket to feature built-in protectors in the elbows, shoulders and back. They really started something as in just a few short years everyone had copied the idea and almost every jacket on the market had integral protectors. Knox continued to innovate and launched the world's first CE-approved body armour, along with the 'Knox' brand in 1995.
