Covec Ltd Honoured with King’s Award for Innovation — Oneskin Denim Sets New Benchmark for Motorcycle Riding Gear

British technical textile innovators Covec Ltd have been awarded the King’s Award for Innovation 2025 for their revolutionary Covec Oneskin denim—a breakthrough in single-layer motorcycle apparel that combines high-level protection with everyday comfort.

This marks the company’s second royal honour, having previously received the Queen’s Award for International Trade in 2020, recognising Covec’s global reach and commercial success. Together, the two awards highlight Covec’s unique combination of technological leadership and international influence in the world of motorcycle safety gear.

“Winning a second royal award is a tremendous honour, our Oneskin technology has redefined rider protection, and to see it recognised at the highest level is validation of the work our team has put in—not just to innovate, but to push global standards forward.” Keith Bloxsome, Managing Director

Covec Oneskin delivers CE-rated abrasion resistance in a single layer of denim—eliminating the need for bulky multi-layer constructions while offering class-leading breathability, mobility, and comfort. Since its introduction, Oneskin has been adopted by leading motorcycle brands and worn by riders across the globe, quickly becoming a benchmark in the industry.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise celebrate outstanding UK businesses across four categories, with Innovation being one of the most competitive. Covec’s double recognition under both monarchs stands as a rare achievement and a testament to the company’s sustained growth and technical excellence.
