NEC Products Special 2007; Cold Killers Range
Planet Knox has revised its entire range of Cold Killers with an emphasis on protecting riders from the potentially lethal effects of hypothermia.Hypothermia is a condition in which your normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F) drops below 35° (95°F). It’s usually caused by being in a cold environment, but is also possible in mild weather, for example, if you get soaked in a rain shower and do not dry off properly, particularly if there is also a cool wind.
The water evaporating from your skin brings down your body temperature. Knox has given its Cold Killers range a distinctive new look for 2007 too. All items feature a new sculptured design that follows the contour of the body and every product now fits the wearer better and is more comfortable.Crucially the incredibly effective Cold Killers 3D+ fabric is retained and is now used on all products in the range. 3D+ is windproof and breathable, with a check-fleece on the inside that allows better air circulation, to prevent sweating.
This is important because if you sweat on a cold day the moisture can accelerate hypothermia. First to be released are the Sport Top and Pants, which are tailored for a more sculptured appearance that is enhanced by the silver/grey piping. There is a full length zipper on the left side, so the Sport Top is easy to put on and Knox has added a quarter length zip from the collar on the right side, so that the front section can be opened once the wearer arrives at a warm destination.In spite of all these changes, retail prices remain highly competitive, starting at a modest £12.99 for a neck tube. Socks and gloves sell for 14.99 and the Sport Top II and matching Sport Pants are available for £49.99 and £39.99 respectively.Cold Killers clothing is available at the 2007 Motorcycle Show, held at the NEC, at a wide range of stands.
