If you need tailbone protection and do not ride a motorcycle, you can try our ultra-comfortable armored shorts which include tailbone armor, hip and thigh armor.

For more information, please visit custom motorcycle tailbone pads.

Unlike many other types of commonly available motorcycle protection, our armor is multi-impact compliant. That means it remains fully functional even after repeated hits. There is no need to replace your armor after an unscheduled dismount unless it is significantly damaged.

This new tailbone armor is European-designed and manufactured (by SAS-TEC Germany) to provide maximum comfort as well as maximum protection. The viscoelastic soft foam is lightweight and conforms to your anatomy for all-day wearability yet reacts immediately to disperse the force of even minor impacts away from the human body. Its system of interlocking polygons allows it to flex and move with the rider but lock into position to provide full-coverage protection.

Maybe you are looking to replace the useless foam that comes with many suits and pants? Upgrade your suit to Bohn Armor! Many suit manufacturers simply use comfort foam to pad out shoulders, etc., which provides little to no actual protection. After all, their business is to sell you a nice suit, not armor!

This tailbone armor piece allows you to replace the outdated tailbone armor in your pants or shorts without having to purchase a new shell, making it easy to continue riding in your favorite Bohn gear!

Q&A

Q: What is Level 2 armor? 
A: Here&#;s the official answer: CE Level 2 limb armor conforms to CE Level 2 standard if the average transmitted force of nine tests is less than 20 kN for limb armor and 9kN for back armor.

Translated into everyday English, CE Level 2 armor dissipates force better than CE Level 1 .

Q: Do I need Level 2 Armor?
A: Truly it is a preference as to what level of protection you are looking for. For most street and dual sport riders riding safely and within the speed limit, CE Level 1 protection is sufficient. Companies still produce Level 1 armor and some are made with even the newest technologies. At Bohn Armor, we&#;ll be riding with the new Level 2 product as it is designed specifically for our garments to make them extremely comfortable, lighter, more ventilated and come with the latest technology. We feel that our newest iteration is our best yet!

Q: Why are your thigh and tailbone armor pieces not CE-rated?
A: While our thigh armor and tailbone armor are made with Level 1 certified materials used for the hip, knee, shin, shoulder and elbow, what most people don&#;t realize is that those particular armor pieces cannot be officially certified Level 1 OR 2. There is just no certification/test for that. We offer those pieces for extra added protection where most other companies don&#;t.

We want our riders to be safe and the thighs and tailbone are also quite vulnerable to injury and road rash. However, what is really fantastic about the thigh and tailbone pieces is that they are made from incredible materials so they are super thin, and lightweight and still provide the best protection available for those areas. No other company can say that about their pants! 

Q: Is this D3O®? Does it harden on impact?
A: D3O® is a non-Newtonian polymer which means that it is soft and malleable in a non-stressed state but it instantly hardens when sudden stress (impact) is applied.

The Bohn Level 2 Armor, on the other hand, features progressive absorption as demonstrated in Newton&#;s Third Law of Motion (for every action [force] in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction). That means the air that is embedded within the cells of the foam resists force in direct response to how much force it is being subjected to. This characteristic allows the armor to effectively dissipate force at both high and low-impact speeds.

Q: What is the average lifespan on the Level 2 Armor?
A: Depending on the amount of riding you do, as well as your individual riding conditions, the viscoelastic foam could potentially last up to ten years.

Also, keep in mind that armor technology improves greatly every few years so you should find that each new set you purchase is much further ahead in quality, fit, feel and technology from what you had before.

Q: How do I take care of the armor pieces? What&#;s the best way to store them when I&#;m not riding?
A: We recommend removing the armor from your Bohn gear from time to time to clean it as detergent residue, salt (including body salt) and moisture can stick to it and negatively affect the armor.

Armor pieces should NOT be placed in the washing machine or dryer, but may be wiped clean with a damp cloth if they become soiled. 

During the off-season, we recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is always a good idea to give everything a thorough cleaning before storing it away and we also recommend not storing it in a rolled or folded position as that can cause undue stress on the armor, causing it to wear out quicker.

Q: Does it need to be replaced after a crash?
A: Bohn Level 2 Armor has long-lasting crash construction and is meant for repeat use. If you go down, merely inspect for visible damage. If the damage is significant then you will need to replace the armor piece(s), if it is simply scratched, you do not have to replace it, simply sand off any hard or sharp edges and continue to use.

Q: Will these fit in the Bohn gear that I already own?
A: The new Bohn Level 2 Armor pieces have been designed to fit within the existing pockets of your Bohn Armored Pants, Shirts and Shorts. They are universally sized so they are also compatible with most other brands of protective gear.  

Q: What side of the flexible flat armor goes against my body?
A: While your first instinct may be to insert the armor with the interlocking part away from you, it is actually designed to have the solid part as the outer surface. The channels between the polygon &#;nubs&#; allow for more airflow to the skin, which leads to a more comfortable ride overall.

Q. Can I use these protectors in the cold?
A. Yes you can. But you need to warm them to your body before you use them in the cold. See the tab for care for more information on this. 

Q: I am sensitive to latex. Is your armor safe for me to wear?
A: The comfort of our customers ranks second only to their safety. The Bohn Level 2 Armor is latex free.

   Motorcycle pants question

   Question about motorcycle pants, not chaps, but actual pants with the knee pads in them, etc. Are they meant to be worn over pants or not with pants at all?
   Thanks in advance,
   Jim

   You can get both types! I have a set of Can-Am 'Over-pants' that have zippers right up the outside of each leg to make them easy to put on/take off that are designed to go on over your normal street clothes; and I also have a few of the 'wear as your clothes' types that are quite presentable too; they come in styles that include jeans, chino's, cargo pants, and more; plus of course, there's always leather pants too!!
   
   All of those are available with some degree of kevlar/aramid type lining &/or armour like removable knee pads, some even have removable hip, thigh, &/or tail-bone pads too!! And no rider's wardrobe would be complete without at least SOME of the protective gear that you can get which is close fitting enough to be worn UNDER your 'normal' street clothes. That gear can be pretty handy, and ranges from simple kevlar/aramid long-johns & tops thru to full on armour embedded in high tech compression gear. It all depends on exactly what you want it to do & the type of ryding you're planning on... but please remember that it's not always what YOU do or intended to do that means you might need this sort of protective gear! And while the kevlar/aramid type fabric can save you from losing a lot of skin, it's the armour that saves bones, limbs, &/or important appendages.
   
   Help any?!

   Many "Riding" pants can do double duty by wearing them over street clothes as well. If the pants come with inner liners, you can remove them to make room for the street pants.
   "Over-pants" tend to be looser fitting than Riding gear.

   I wear Klim Baja mesh pants. On a week long trip I wore shorts and them. Klim is the best protective gear around. I also have Klim latitude pants that I wear as rain pants over jeans and fall and spring. Both over jeans and shorts.

   As Peter A said: they come in both flavors. They tend to be on the heavy side if made from leather that is thick enough to provide good protection.
   
   That's the nice thing about chaps...you get the extra protection, but can go down to street clothes when you don't need. it. And the change out is quick and easy.

   I wear Aerostich pants. AD1. I wear them over sweats, as I want the warmth. In hot weather, I wear khaki, but wear the aerostich if it rains. Best I&#;ve found. I&#;ve only been riding 50 years, so I have more to learn. What works for me might not work for you. Try different things. All I know is for the last 300,000 miles or so, my AD1 pants kept me dry and warm. YMMV

    Good info folks! I have three sets of specialized riding gear not counting rain gear and I&#;ve found that Deluth clothing company sell many kinds of jeans that some have knee pads, some extra room for the boys, some that are quick drying and some they call Fire Hose pants. I have a few pair and I like them. IMHO it&#;s worth doing a search for this company. They also sell so much more stuff. No, it&#;s not my company. I&#;m just passing along what I think some my like. cueman

    I've got a pair of Joe Rocket Ballistic 7.0 overpants. I wear them over jeans. They've got a removable inner liner that is both waterproof and thermal. The outer layer sheds water pretty well although it's probably not waterPROOF. I rarely wear the inner liner as it's REALLY warm. I ride down into the upper 30s on a regular basis and with these and my normal jeans, I'm comfortable.

    I've worn both over pants and under armor. In winter here in Calif. where I am it really only gets down to high 30's for the most part and my riding is done is 40's in the winter to 90s+ in the summer. Right now I wear the Bohn under armor pretty much 100% of the time with jeans and long johns if needed. In the summer its the under armor and either jeans or Sedici over pants, pads in or out just depending on comfort.

    To add to the mix: Because its easier to pick the winning lottery numbers than predict the weather in an hour from now:
    - I have a pair of Textile pants for winter which include the pads etc, they are too hot to wear over jeans etc, and are a proper fit.
    - I have a pair of MC Kevlar jeans with the appropriate protection for summer use.
    - I also have a pair of light colored (light brown) Kevlar chino's that go over either the Textiles or Jeans for when its very hot (38deg c and above) to reduce the heat absorption of the black textiles and Dark Blue jeans, and make life a little comfortable.
