Armored Shirt
 
2 Attachment(s)
Anyone own Bohn and besides the fact that it is ugly as fuck, what do you think about this?I'm honestly tired of screwing around with my suit's armor and I'm thinking that this might replace it. Besides, my suit has a soft back pad and I hate using my back protector. Thanks for your input.

I have one from AXO that is complete shit. it's better than nothing... but it's not the quality of a lot of armored shirts...

the one thing i'll say I really like (though mine falls short compared to others) is the kidney belt... makes a big difference

Yea I had a 616 shirt but my old dog ate it!:lol: Bohn is well respected and the original price is $169 plus the armor ECE cert so...:idk: It sure is ugly though. It's either this or a suit liner which will make getting my suit on and off a lot easier.

yeah it was sure nice taking the jacket on and off.. but it was a lot hotter in my jacket than the normal armor was mainly because it blocks where the vents are! :lol:

I think if I had to do it again Bohn is who I'd go with... I think they have several options though...

They do... this ugly one is on SALE though!!! This one is on sale as well... Might be a good set up for you and other dual sport guys.

I dont have a shirt, but I am very pleased with the quality of the back protector I have.

I have a better idea... I'm going to buy it, crash and then brag about what a great rider I am, how wonderful my gear was and then give up street riding altogether...:lol:

I have a 661 Vapor Pressure Suit I use for DS riding. All I wear over it is a jersey. Fits great, plenty of adjustment points and tons of ventillation. I wear a knockoff underarmour compression shirt under it.

It would probably fit fine under some leathers if you took the built-in armor out.

When it's REALLY hot in the summer, ALOT of MX guys wear JUST the armor shirt...
