Has Anyone Tried this Kevlar Shirt?

This looks interesting. I could see wearing this on a super hot day with a vest over it. You can also buy armor for it now.
Draggin Shirt

I also have a First Gear mesh jacket and an even thinner mesh from Cycle Gear, but they are till too hot in over 95 degree weather. I guess hot is hot!

Don't know anyone that has tried it. I know riding without anything will dehydrate you pretty bad on a hot day. Better to sweat and survive!

Both my son and I have one of the Draggin' shirts. My yellow one started off bright yellow and sun aged in a rather uneven pattern to a color resembling a manila folder. Drew's is black and has not seen the number of hours of use that mine has. They are nice and cool in the summer. I'd say that their sizes run just a little small.

I like the look of this! Did a search and read some good reviews of it. Looks like I found my next purchase.

I don't have the shirt but do own the denim jacket, I use it all the time and its a great daily use jacket for hot weather.
