Gear Review me forward slightly. I really focused on that as I rode. Each person’s rear is different, but for me it actually made my seating position slightly more comfortable. The pants have a zipper on each leg to facilitate putting the pants on and taking them off. The designers were smart enough to let the leg of the pants ride slightly above the ankle. The zipper is completely unnoticeable no matter what type of boots or footwear you choose. I highly encourage you to go to their website for a complete list of specifications. I’ve never found a product that was perfect. Bohn is no exception. Wearing this gear under your clothes makes you look like you have muscles. That’s good, but I immediately noticed that there is no stomach pad. I have discussed this with Bohn and they have assured me they will look into six-pack stomach armor. Once they correct this obvious oversight I would say the Bohn Armor is as close to per- fect as is possible. I really like this gear and it is defi- nitely worth the price. In fact, I just ordered the All-Season top for riding in slightly cooler weather. They also offer a Performance-Thermal ver- sion. Bohn has offered CMA members a 10% discount.

Bohn pants. I wore the top over a wicking t-shirt and it was just the same as if it was just the t-shirt. Then I wore the Bohn over a wicking t-shirt with a loose fitting MX jersey over it. Moving there was no notice- able difference with or without the Bohn. Both the top and pants are very comfortable. In fact, I pretty much forgot I had them on. Bohn is manufactured in the USA. I’m happy to report that I did not crash test the gear. However, having been involved in several motorcycle accidents, both on road and off, I have no doubt that this gear will provide excellent protection. The pants have seven points of protection. The top has five. The mesh material holds the pads in per- fect position. And check this out, all the armor stays in place. The knee armor stays on the knees when standing or walking. Unlike many armored pants, Bohn has tailbone armor. My motorcycle seat has a pocket. The tailbone armor moved
