Title: Anyone use Bohn Body Armor?
Post by: mp183 on June 13, 2004, 07:32:01 PM
I give up on trying to buy a pair of pants with some protection that I can use in the summer.
I'm thinking of getting the Bohn pants. My only question is how hot will
it get if I'm going to wear jeans over them?

Those look really sweet, sorta remind me of my paintball sliding shorts.  The armor will stay in place, unlike on some pants where the armor pads might float around in a crash.  And there's a heavily armored version.  Unfortunately, the Bohn pants don't provide abrasion protection, so after the initial impact, skidding down the road on your butt will leave some nasty rash when your jeans wear through!

Looks like a good product overall!  :)

if those are spanex, they're gonna get hot as hell, i'm thinking of trying to find some pads, and just attaching them inside a pair of jeans, pretty much the same idea, i'll see how it goes

How did I miss that?
The cool air is the way to go.  I think I'll give it a try.  If I do I'll give you guys a report in the future.

What I don't like is their "your friends will never notice" argument. WTF is wrong with my friends knowing that I care about staying in one piece?

That is for the insecure person that cares what other people think  :lol:

Some people need to grow a back bone and know when to tell their friends to shut the f*** up.

On topic though, that air cool armor looks pretty slick.  Its a bit of a turnoff that they don't say what the "exclusive elastic mesh" is made with.

Have you tried Draggin' Jeans (http://www.dragginjeans.com)? They're made with kevlar in the seat and the knees, and you can also order a pair with body armor stitched into the panels at the hips, knees and butt.
