Q&A

Q: Are the pants abrasion resistant?
A: The main design function of our Motorcycle Pants is impact protection. While the armor pieces do offer you some abrasion resistance in a fall, the pants themselves are not reinforced with Kevlar or Cordura.  Our goal with our pants is to keep the armor right where you need it if you need it. The armor stays snug to your body and won’t flop around unlike other riding pants do. 

Most of our customers wear our pants with a pair of jeans or riding pants and find that those two alone provide plenty of protection in a crash. However, adding a pair of Kevlar pants over these motorcycle pants would be the perfect combination. 

Q: Will they look bulky under my jeans?
A: Not at all. Often times no one will ever know you are wearing them. 

Q: Won’t these pants be HOT?
A: No, not at all. These Motorcycle pants are quite cool. They are made of a very soft, stretchy Lycra^® that helps to wick away moisture and help keep you cool.  We recommend you read the reviews to determine if these will work for you. 

Q. Do I need to purchase a larger sized pair of riding pants so these fit over them?
A. In our experience (and 1000’s of others) you do not need to purchase a new pair of larger pants to fit over our motorcycle pants. 

Q: Do I have to wear underwear with these?
A: That is a personal choice that we leave up to our customers, but most riders choose to wear undergarments with their Adventure pants for cleanliness, hygiene and modesty reasons. Remember, the pants have a ventilated crotch area.

Q: Can I get them with a fly?
A: Yes, please let us know you would like a fly version by leaving a note at check out.

Q: What is the difference between your Adventure and Cool-Air pants?
A: The Adventure Pants are made from a stretchy, mid-weight Lycra^® fabric with a ventilated crotch panel.  The Cool-Air Pants are made entirely from a stretchy, lightweight elastic mesh material. Both types of pants have tailbone, hip, knee/shin and thigh armor. Adventure pants have consistently been popular among our all-season riders. The Cool-Air motorcycle pants are popular for people who ride in very hot and humid climates. 

Q. I am in between sizes, how do I know which one to choose? 
A. Great question. If you are in-between sizes or you are having trouble fitting into our size chart, give us a call 888-922-9259 or email us at [email protected] We are more than happy to help. Indicate your waist, inseam, height and weight if you would like.

Another option: Oftentimes customers will order one size fully armored and then fabric shell in another size and return fabric shell of the one that does not fit. This saves time and money in the long run should you order the wrong size.

Q. I want to order for a friend but I am not sure of their size.
A. If you are ordering for a friend, give us a call – 888-922-9269. We can help size that person or you can always opt for a gift certificate.

Care

With proper care, our garments can last years.

Our pocket design enables you to easily remove the armor and wash your fabric shells for many years of use.

Follow the steps below to ensure long-lasting wear and care:

1. Pull the fabric back on the armor pockets to remove the armor. (Note: failure to remove armor may cause damage to the fabric shell.)
2. Wash the fabric shells on a low temperature setting and Gentle Cycle .
3. Be sure not to wash Bohn fabric shells with items that have Velcro, hooks or accessories that could catch and snag the fabric.
4. Dry shells on low temperature or hang dry.
5. When dry, reinsert the armor pieces into their respective pockets and pull the pocket flaps into place. This ensures the armor will stay in place.

Please NOTE:

• Our garments are made with Lycra^® and must be washed regularly. Salt air and sweat left on the garment can break down the Lycra^® in the garment so it is imperative that the garments be washed regularly and not stored for long periods of time with salt or sweat. 
• Also, pilling can occur if the garment is consistently rubbing against something that agitates the garment (ie. tag, plastic, loose seam, etc.), so please be certain you do not have anything in an overgarment that could agitate the fabric. If you start seeing pilling, turn your jeans, pants or jacket that you wear over your Bohn garment inside-out and feel for the item that is rubbing on your garment. 

**Improper care (ie. lack of laundering) and pilling of garments is not warrantied. 

We wish you many years of riding protection!
