Bohn Armor?

#1 Unread post by Archaelas »

I am looking for my first bike still and have started looking at safety equipment as well. In my travels, I ran across "Bohn Armor" (www.bohnarmor.com), reinforced pants and shirts designed to fit under your normal clothes. I was curious about whether anyone had any thoughts on their product. I myself don't really want to wear synthetic or leather pants and so was really looking at something to go under my jeans since I don't want to sacrifice the protection either. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice you have.

The only protection you'll get with their under garments is the armor. It won't protect against road rash, which is just as bad of an injury (if not worse) than a broken bone. I like the idea of their under gear, but without the road rash protection, I don't see the point (IMO).

Cheers,

I was thinking of their stuff to go under a pair of jeans, leather jacket and Doc Martin 10 eyelet steel toe boots. Thanks for the input.
