Default Ladies rain suits

Now over the years i've notice you girlies have some different lumps and bumps than us guys. I've also noticed that some places even make leathers specifically incorporating these differences.
The question is do they also make specific girlie shaped rain suits or do you make do with generic ones???

I found that even the HG ladies' rainwear was a funny shape - really long in the body, So i bought a cheap set of rain gear from a camping shop - a tenner each for trousers and cagoule, and bought them big enough to fit over my leathers for when I was touring - pack up nice and small in their own little bags. V handy.

I use mens

Infact, I also wear mens textile kit.

The kits which are acommodating for my lumps and bumps make me look like rubbish and dont fit well at all.

As far as I can tell nobody makes rain suits that fit men either.
