We celebrate the arrival of spring!

Today we would like to celebrate Valborg and that spring finally has arrived. We do that by having a toss. We will choose by picking names among all the wonderful people in our network, that have followed KORI experience one way or the other. The 1^st name we pick, wins a KORI Coyote, the back protector that unfolds into a backpack! The 2^nd name we pick, wins KORI Hare, the popular sport sock, now also in knee length!

The protector should feel light and not interfere with the overall experience!

 This weekend, our test pilot, Lina Sundgren together with Ski Unlimited went up in beautiful Lofoten, this time they brought a bunch of ski enthusiasts which they  have  guided through ski tours, fishing trips and refreshing bath in hot tub. When Lina is skiing, she uses our new back protector concept KORI Ocelot, which will be launched at the upcoming winter season 2013/2014.

Lina has been skiing with KORI Ocelot for some time now, on ski tours both in Lofoten, Italy and France. She finds it important that the protector feels light and does not interfere with the overall experience of the tour "What's really great is that this tour I noticed that I actually did not even think that I had a back protection on and that’s really good!"

What Lina appreciate with KORI is that it is so soft and smooth, she also likes the new closure solution of the chest, the former plastic buckle is replaced with a low profile hook in aluminum that gives a slimmer and more comfortable fit and "It feels more durable with it!”

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

We often get sort of the same questions regarding the KORI Coyote concept, here are some answers to the most common questions:

Do I wear KORI under the jacket?

Yes. For optimal protection the back protectors are worn underneith the jacket, as close to your spine as possible. KORI back protectors includes D3O Viper PRO which is the absolute softest and most flexible back protector so you do not have to worry about the feeling of having a hard and limiting protection when you're driving - it' should be comfortable to have a back protection on!

Isn’t it warm to wear a back protector under the jacket?

Sure it gets warmer to have a back protector compared to having a loose back plate in the jacket. But KORI is well ventilated and have a 3D-structures polyester mesh against your back that allows the moist air to vent away from the body. However, it is important to also have good material in the clothes you are wearing under the protection.

Can you really put a whole motorcycle equipment in the backpack?

Absolutely! Jacket, pants and a helmet goes down the back protector when it is folded out as a backpack, it may be difficult to understand that an entire motorcycle equipment fits inside a backpack, but we have proven and surprised many with the volume that KORI can provide when it is folded out.

Why does KORI costs more than other back protectors?

KORI is simply better than all others in every way! Firstly, we make sure that all our products have unique design solutions and features that our competitors do not have, both in function, fit and durability. We also make sure to maintain the highest quality in all our production. All our products are made in Sweden, with the quality and the environmental impact that we feel that we can stand for!

Why have not I heard of KORI before?

KORI is a new concept, a new brand and a brand new company. We came out on the market in 2012 and we spread slowly and surely over the world. We have decided that instead of spending large budgets on offensive marketing, we focus on being responsive to what the market demands and work to meet it through innovative design thinking and optimal solutions – and that way you finally find us anyway!
