I've been looking for something for hot weather rydes, does anyone here have experience with the Bohn body armor? They've got an Airtex shirt that looks really interesting, but no dealer network, so no hands-on to see what I'm getting.
thanks,

john

That stuff looks nice but pricey. Have you tried a mesh jacket?

I've got a Tourmaster Intake 2, it's good up to about 80 degrees, I'm looking for something that's just mesh and armor (and light).

Here are a couple of reviews, although not S/L's.

I've never had that particular shirt, but I've had other Bohn gear before, and they are quality stuff, you *do* get what you pay for.

Did you get the shirt? If you did, I was wondering how it's working out.

Quality stuff. Only thing is you look like a bodybuilder even with your jacket off, since that stuff is worn as an undergarment. Which for the slight of build, might be a good thing?

Try Arthur Fulmer line of products that make a line where the winter weight jacket is removable .... By winter weight I mean for Fl. But we get below 30 F a couple weeks a year"

I've been hoping for a hands on experience, I see a lot of good reports on their website, looks like I'll have to be my own informant, I'll let you know when I get it.

I ordered the pants and shirt from Bohn. Came the next day. Quality stuff. Fits like a glove. It's been over 100 f here for a couple of weeks now. I just don't ride in this kind of heat. I will do a ride report when it cools down a bit.
