Tried them and didnt like them. I found kevlar jeans and armored knee and shin pads more to my liking. If i am riding real agressive then I wear the track suit out.

Thanks. Anything in particular you didn't like about them compared to the other products? New to sport bikes and trying to put together a basic set of gear w/o collecting a bunch of stuff I'll end up wearing once and not liking, which is an easy thing to do purchasing online, as you apparently know. I appreciate the feedback.

I have them. I have used them every time I ride for the last two year. No complaints at all. I think they are great. I did end up ditching the stock knee pads in favor of something more substantial from a protection stand point. I think they are worth it, any extra protection you can have will only help.

haven't tried those but I might. I have a pair of kevlar riding jeans that are pretty loose and comfortable, but that also puts the knee armor out of position. I currently use Dainese Knee Six pads under my pants, but a more complete setup like that might be more comfortable.

I still haven't ruled them out either. Makes sense that the armor would stay better positioned with the snug fit, regardless of what your pants do, which for me is ride up since I'm reaching for the ground on both sides. Wish the seat height was just a bit lower.

I've used them and they're alright, but I switched to Dainese as they were more substantial and a better fit with more secure material. The Bohn Armor just felt sort of cheaper in comparison and the pads didn't stay in place as well as I feel the Dainese does. Also the material or netting that holds the armor fits really tight and is a bit of a struggle to get on. I purchased the Dainese gear through a sponser here..... MOTOWHEELS and it's really damn good stuff. There is also Force Field that makes roughly the same thing, but I haven't tried them yet.

These are kind of half answers to a half question.

The first half is, how do I look in these if I don't fall off?

The second half is, and I don't see an answer to this, what happens if I fall off, at (30, 50, 70, 100, 120, 150, 200) (kph/mph) on the (street/track), etc?

Kevlar jeans with high top tennies and magnum condoms in some conditions are cool, not in all.

WTF does that mean? Stop speaking in parables and say something if you have something to say. Otherwise, STFU.

Appreciate the input on the Bohn...think I'm leaning away from that the more I look at it. Revzilla has informative videos, and I like the Dianese stuff they review there. Need to get something that's warm weather friendly, and adequate but not overkill since I'm just getting back on a bike after a LONG time off. I'll take a look at MotoWheels...thanks.
