I've been debating getting the Bohn armor for a while now - it looks like a pretty nice setup. Maybe when things warm up a bit... Until then it's my FirstGear textiles w/the insulating liner in all the way.

One thing no one ever seems to discuss is how the bulkiness of some solutions affects comfort - the FirstGears are nice, but with long johns and the liner in, they bind and are uncomfortable when my feet are up on the pegs. I'm tall and have aftermarket rearsets for my Speedy 4, so this probably isn't a problem for most, but I have yet to find a totally comfortable solution...
