In 26 years we’ve never had to have a formal warranty policy. We’ve sold thousands and thousands and thousands of products with virtually no issues. We take pride in the quality of our products and we endeavor to ensure that all of the components of our products, whether it be the fabric, stitching or trims, are top-quality!

Occasionally, on older garments 2, 3, 5, 10 years down the road we might have a zipper failure or an occasional seam come loose, but these instances are rare….very, very rare and are normally the result of regular wear and tear.

As such, we’ve always handled any issues on a case-by-case basis as our goal is to take good care of our customers. We always do our best to ensure our customers are happy and satisfied. 

As of late, however, we’re getting more and more customers that are having “issues”. Once we dig a little deeper into the issue we are finding that it is not our product but actually more “user error” or sadly, dishonesty. 

We’ve tried to build our brand with integrity, compassion, and care for our customers and their safety, yet lately, we are feeling a little bit taken advantage of. 

So, here goes…a formal policy. 

Bohn Body Armor Warranty:

• Failure of materials for up to 2 years
• Failure of workmanship and craftsmanship for up to 2 years

If a problem occurs with a Bohn Body Armor product and the problem is caused by manufacturing defects in material or workmanship, we will, at our discretion, either fix or replace the product in accordance with the warranty terms and conditions stated here. This warranty applies only to the person who has purchased the product or to the person who has received the product as a gift.

Our guarantee applies to all Bohn Body Armor items purchased online through our website or through an authorized Bohn Body Armor retailer. Please note, every item is subject to an evaluation by our team.

We also cannot be held responsible for loss, damage or cost resulting from the use or loss of our products. Please note that general wear and tear, including but not limited to the breakdown of colors and materials over time, is not considered a material or manufacturing defect and is therefore not covered by our warranties. Stuff gets old and wears out. If you need to replace a fabric shell, we make that easy for you to do. If you break a zipper, we have a replacement kit available. 

Bohn Body Armor will not honor fake or fraudulent warranty claims and reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to reject any warranty claims that we suspect to be fraudulent (see list below of actual customers’ warranty “issues” that are fraudulent).

Let’s be frank….We’ve been selling our Body Guard garments (shirts, pants and shorts) for 26 years. We’ve used the same fabric, dyes, elastics and zippers since then. We know when an item has not been cared for and we can spot a lack of care a mile away. So please be honest when you are claiming a warranty issue. We want our customers to be happy an safe, let’s work together to make this possible. 

Here’s what’s not covered:

• If you get your sock stuck in a zipper, you yank on it and the zipper breaks, it’s not warrantied
• If your waistline grows and you rip your pants because now you are not in the right size, it’s not warrantied
• If you burn your shirt sleeve on your pipes, this is not a breakdown in our materials, this is not warrantied
• If you leave salt, sweat and grime on your pants from riding all summer and then toss them in a corner without washing them the entire winter and then go to use them in March and the elastic fails, this is not warrantied
• If you wash your flannel on hot water and you destroy it, that is not warrantied
• If you leave your shirt over the back of a chair in the melting sun for a few weeks and the color comes out of the shoulders, that is not warrantied
• If you store your pants in a 30-degree garage and then put them on and the knee armor cracks when you walk in them, this is not warrantied
• If you wash your white Airtex or summer mesh shirt with colored items in your washing machine and it turns colors, this is not warrantied
• If you put your summer mesh pants on like you’re a fireman getting ready for a fire and the pants rip, this is not warrantied
• If you wash your all-season lycra pants with a garment that has velcro and the fabric pills, this is not warrantied
• If your armor is sitting too high in your gear and your armor breaks at an articulation point, this is not warrantied. If you are new to motorcycling or not a motorcyclist and are unfamiliar with how your armor should fit, please see the product page under the care tab at the bottom. 
• If you put on 10 pounds over the winter and you tear the seam on the back of your flannel, this is not warrantied.

Hopefully, you get the gist.
