as far as quality goes, which company is better? bohn or dainese? i got some icon field armor shorts, and frankly, they don't feel like they would do much in a crash. they feel like a lightly padded spandex boxer-briefs. looking for a replacement shorts.

the bohn's seem more substantial, but i am wondering why the dainese costs more. is it a better brand? won't be using these for the track because... we have no track. just protection against a crash. is there anything better in this price range from a different company? thanks for any help.
