I'd rather wear a textile jacket than spend $140 on a Tahiti.

As you slide down the road, the shirt would ride up, leaving your soft midriff exposed to the asphalt.

Kevlar sucks to wear against skin when it's hot. I worked in a sheet metal shop where we had to wear kevlar sleeves for cut protection.

I'm sure it's a great product. But a lot of cash for it. If you get one please keep us posted with a review

I always ask myself what I'd like to be wearing if I jumped out of my car between 25 and 85ish.. I don't always follow that but if spending money on protection that shirt wouldn't be high on tha list.

Itchy as hell. Maybe new draggin's are lined. Original, even when worn over a long sleeve tee itched too much for me. Got mine 7-8 years ago, gave it to a friend after trying to wear it several times. He gave it away to another friend and I lost track, you probably could get it cheap at Goodwill.

Good luck with that in 95*+ temps. You'll toast your nuts off in there. I'd go with chainmail. Much better airflow.
