Default Female motorcycle clothing - where to buy

The other half is after a whole job lot of motorcycle clothing. Nothing flash or to expensive.

I was wondering what website you guys would recommend for a job lot. Boots, helmet, gloves, and textiles.

Any one know of any sales, places selling last years stock, or just a cheaper than most website?

Advice much appreciated thanks guys n gala

To be honest I wouldn't reccomend buying it all online, motorcycle clothing has to fit right and ladies sizes seem to be more random than men, my Mrs has a really hard time getting stuff to fit.

Not sure where you are but I'd reccomend taking her to a large store and trying to haggle a discount for a bulk buy.

Could not agree more. Last year my better half decided to come out with me so needed everything. She likes her stuff to fit just right and being 5 foot nowt & size 8 it took a bit of getting. Helmet from one shop, gloves from another etc etc. A right PITA but worth it as last year we had several 800 mile plus weekends with no moans about kit.

Yeah well she's about 5"4 and size 8 as well. I was going to go to a large bike shop near me and try it all on with her, then compare prices online. That was the idea anyway

Ride mag ran an article some while back on a shop which specialises in women's motorcycle kit. If I get a chance I'll try and find it over the next few days.

If you are comparing prices online I've seen some great deals on fcmoto.de recently

It's all shipped from Germany but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I'm a size 8-10 and found Held sell some very nice Kevlar jeans in size 8, 9 and 10 so you get a good fit. They aren't cheap, about £200 but unlike most Kevlar the fabric is cross woven into the denim so no lumpy patches around your knees and bum so they look like normal jeans. I've just done 2000km round Thailand in mine and get were supremely comfy. I think they are called Crackerjane. I'm wearing them in these pics... And yes I know I won't be able to fit in them if I keep having ice cream for breakfast!

Thanks guys! Those jeans look pretty good I'll check it out. It's a bit above what she's wanting to pay but might be worth it!

Cheers l3nny I'll check that site
