Anybody ever tried Bohn-Armor pants?

    I am a Florida rider and trying to figure out what to wear on the bottom. I would love to wear shorts, but enjoy the use of my legs too much...

    I ran across some things called Bohn Armor pants (Google them and you will find the website) that are basically to be worn under any pants and supposedly are cooler (temperature-wise) than jeans.

    There are a lot of kevlar jeans out there, but I like the flexibility of being able to wear Dockers to the office, or jeans on Friday or whatever without being locked into a specific kind of pants or having to change pants when I get to the office.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    While I am on the topic, does anyone have any recommendations for some cool (temperature-wise) motorcycle jackets for a Florida rider?

    Check out Moto Morph from FieldSheer.
    The inner liner comes all the way out.
    The outer layer zips off. Its not a full out layer, instead most of it comes off and reveals mesh arms, chest and back.

    I suggest this jacket because it cool enough when moving, and if riding at night/cooler days you can toss the outer layer back on. The inner layer is suppose to be water resistant (bonus for any area). I tend to wear looser 2x winter jackets and bought a 2x and got a simlar fit even w/o the inner linner. It should be great even in winter with an extra inner jacket.

    I got mine from the first link. It seems that most of these vendors all get their items from the same warehouse - If you check sizes/colors all the stores seem to be out of stock of the same item.

    I also got my GMax 68S (Max Graphics in White/Black) helmet from the first link. The helmet has ALOT of vents. Some claim its a bit noisy because of it, but I wear ear plugs and being my 1st helmet I have no comparison.
