I think it looks like something a redneck Klingon would wear to a golf course.

Yes, although I'd have to be on fire before I let anybody see me in that thing.

I need a new one for this year, that black Bohn Extreme looks like the ticket, and I've had good luck with all my Bohn back protectors and fancy underwear.

I have the back protector too and I like it. If you get it let me know how you like it. I have been eyeing the armored pants for a while.

If you've ever feel brave enough to motocross in 100+deg Texas heat, you will be on fire. And about 5min away from heat exhaustion.

Yea I had the 661 (616 ha what a doofus I am) and it definitely got hot in the dirt but under perforated leathers on a street bike, it might be okay.

Texas heat?

Is that hotter than normal heat, because the heat around here is pretty fucking hot.

Peak summer forecast reads "ranked 2nd to the temperature of hell".

Meh. 95+ 90% humidity last summer. It doesn't matter what you wear in those conditions, you ain't gonna be happy.

Last time I picked up Soldier of Fortune magazine I saw a lot of dudes wearing the same thing...

I wear this year round under all my jackets. -20f to 120F outside. Doesnt matter. It fits tight and I feel like the armor will stay in place better if I were to roll/slide during a wreck better than just the jackets armor. Even a tight fitting jacket, the armor is "loose" feeling.

I do recommend that if it has velco parts, see if it's a "micro" felt or "coarse" felt. If it's micro feeling then get some coarse felt sewn over it because it just wears out and the "male" part of the velcro on the straps wont have anything to bite into. I have to stretch mine tight to get some good felt for good bite.


In the pics I forgot to pull up the front past the main big velcro strap. There are velcro patches that keep the upper part attached to that big strap.
