Who This Is For

The Fly Knight X is the budget version of Fly's premium Knight 2 line — same vision-first design philosophy, lighter artificial leather construction, triple-density foam for graduated impact absorption. The 'X' designation across Fly's lineup signals the accessible tier: same design DNA, different materials, lower price. Reviewers consistently praise the lightweight feel and field of vision. The triple-foam construction is meaningful — softer inner layer for comfort, firmer outer layers for impact distribution. At $184, this is positioned squarely against the Hayabusa T3 ($129) and Cleto Reyes Cheek Protector ($199), offering the Fly UK brand pedigree at a competitive price point.
