Bohn Armor - Second year (female) newbie here. . .I bought the pants mesh with armor. Their chart size is pretty accurate and ordered for my height (4'11") Although, I had to buy a new pair of jeans, the next size up and more room in the thigh to accommodate the armor around the hips and tail bone. Hubby says that I do look a bit more curvy, but that's a good thing since I don't have much of an hour-glass figure anyway. :wink:

Overall the product works well. I ride a Yamaha 250cc and it took a while to get use to the tail bone pad. It's a little cumbersome when taking a nature break, but that doesn't deter me from using them. I like the peace of mind of having extra armor and I can't remember when a bug last hit me on the shin or knee. The last test is to wear them in the upcoming Summer in commuter traffic.

Ride safely!

Message: I Received my Adventure Pants and have been wearing them for a week now. They are absolutely great. I commute 200 miles round trip to work everyday. It is great to be able to wear the
attire I need for work and yet still be protected. As you know in Mississippi it get hot.  Lately we have recorded record highs with high humidity. I was so impressed with the pants that Yesterday I ordered the AirTex Shirt. I am sure it will make the ride a lot cooler compared to my armored jacket.

Thanks Bohn for making such a great product.

Message: June 13,2009 I hit a deer with my 2000 Daytona 955i.  That is all I remember for the next 2 weeks. When I became aware I found I had a severely broken R wrist and a loss of 2 feet of my intestines. I was wearing Bohn armor pants and shirt with full armor and the best helmet I can buy. The doctors all said if I would have had more broken bones or lots of road rash or other grievous injury I
probably would not be here today. It was your armor along with my helmet and the grace of God that kept me alive that day. I am a true disciple of ATGATT now, it saved my life. It was and still is a long recovery but I am alive and doing well. I hope that perhaps someone in your R&D department is working on some type of protection for the belly area. According to all statistics involving motorcycle wrecks That area of the anatomy is injured in a high percentage of crashes. The bad news is the Bohn gear gave it's life for me, so now before spring arrives here in Western Pa. I need to save enough to once again get the best protective gear in the world.

Thank you so much.  If you need a better testimony send me an e-mail and I would be glad to do that for your company.

Sincerely
Wilbur Hickman

i just wanted to say thank you. i received my pants and they fit great. i was so worried i wasn't going to find anything, my hips are sorta wide. so i was having trouble finding anything to fit, that wasn't dragging at my ankles. now i'm protected again.

Message: Just wanted to thank Bohn-Armor for the protection your pants provided. Both my wife and I were wearing your pants (along with head, torso, feet and hand protection) when a deer jumped into
our path at 75 mph (interstate driving). The impact from the deer broke a few of our bones but the Bohn-Armor pants clearly saved our bones from impact and our skin from the 150' asphalt slide that followed. Other than a little road rash on the side of one knee, the Bohn-Armor clearly saved us from significant damage. Both the medical staff and law enforcement couldn't thank us enough for the gear we were wearing. Without it, they assured us the coroner rather than the ambulance would have transported us
from the scene.

It may be a while before we ride again (bike was totaled) but if and when we do, we'll have our new Bohn Armor protecting us.

Thanks!

Hi, I bought your airtex armored shirt and pants at the international motorcycle show last December in Long Beach, CA. A few weeks ago, the weather was perfect for riding, even a little hot, the type of day that i would normally ride with just an tank top, and definitely no jacket. I did however decide to use the airtex shirt for the first time by itself without a jacket, since it is light and breezy. At some portion of my commute that day, two vehicles, a very bad road and maybe a little of my own arrogance got the better of me. Despite the hard collision with the asphalt and my ego, I walked away with just a couple of scrapes and bruises. Witnesses were surprised I had not broken my shoulder, arm and a number of other bones.

Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that your product has made a believer out of me and the select few who saw my kamikaze flight through the air. I can only imagine ;the numerous injuries that I luckily avoided by wearing the armor.

Thanks, keep up the good work and ride safe.

Subject: Me and my friends don't ride without it.
I was out for a leisurely Sunday ride on my 2005 Suzuki GSX-R 1000. Anybody who knows what that is, already understands that "leisurely" means anything below 100. I was getting on the New Jersey Turnpike on what was (unbeknownst to me) a decreasing radius turn littered with gravel and glass. My two-day-old steering damper was set up too light causing the steering to shake under braking. This left me unable to bleed off speed for the decreasing radius. Then I realized the turn was also littered with glass and gravel. That secondary shock caused a temporary target fixation, which I eventually overcame and got the bike back on course.

Unfortunately, the lean angle required to do so was too much for the gravel and glass. Me and the bike went down at about 50 mph on the rocks and glass. It was as if I was still riding the bike but both of us were laying on our left sides. I slid for about 40 feet on my side. The Adventure Pants saved my knees and hips which were both sliding directly under the weight of the bike. The knee-pad slid to the side and luckily was directly between the side of my knee and the pavement. This left the front of my knee somewhat exposed but I got away from such a nasty accident with a shallow scrape on my knee only about the size of a quarter. As a result of my wearing the pants (and other protection) I was at work bright and early Monday morning, a bit stiff but essentially uninjured.

I see these sport bike riders in shorts and T-Shirts and realize they are truly retarded. Obviously, many of them have not yet gone down before. Unfortunately, for many, I'm sure it’s a lesson learned too late. Its just not worth the possible loss of your knees and hips and other parts or the painful recovery when you can simply purchase protection to wear under your clothes from Action Station.

Thanks for helping to protect me and my crew.
