The Airtex Armored Shirt and the Cool-Air Armored Shirt from Bohn Body Armor are both designed for warm-weather riding, but they have key differences in materials and airflow:
-
Material & Breathability
- Cool-Air Shirt: Made entirely of lightweight, stretchy mesh, providing maximum airflow for the hottest conditions.
- Airtex Shirt: Made of a combination of mesh and solid fabric, offering a balance of airflow and durability while providing a bit more style too
-
Cooling & Ventilation
- Cool-Air: Best for extreme heat or humid conditions since it's fully ventilated.
- Airtex: Still highly breathable but offers slightly more coverage, making it more versatile for varied temperatures.
-
Best Use Cases
- Cool-Air: Riders in hot and humid climates who prioritize maximum airflow. Also great to wear "under" clothes having the least amount of fabric.
- Airtex: Riders in warm to hot climates who may need a bit more durability.
Both shirts offer the same CE-Level 2 armor for protection and are designed to be worn under a jacket or as a lightweight outer layer. If you ride in extreme heat, the Cool-Air is the best choice. If you want breathability with a little more style go for the Airtex.
