Question for the ladies!

..about motorbike gear in general.

Does anyone else on here find that the ladies sizes available (for both leathers and textiles) come up ridicolously small?? Now im not what you would call fat/big (im size 8-10) but I struggle to fit in ladies wear. i.e the small & medium is too small and the large is too big. My alpinestars bat jeans are size 12 and ive now decided that they are way too small around the waist but too baggy in the leg.

Bought some textiles today (spada pants & buffallo jacket) in a small mens because I felt like I couldn't breathe in the ladies kit. They also fit really strangely around the hips and bum (or as the sales man put it "they do make you look rather erm...voluptous" )

Just wondered if any of the other ladies on here found the same thing or if Im being a fusspot

Oh, and if any of the guys would like to add their experiences of finding right fitting kit, feel free!

I know what you mean but the problem I find is that they don't do ladies leathers/textiles small enough . I am a size 4 ladies. I managed to find one set of Dainese textiles that fit . I am thinking about having some made to measure and no an 8-10 is not big at all ...

I know what you mean...........

My leather trousers are from the male section as i was up to 2 sizes up in the females before they were getting close to fitting!!!!!! The sales guy told me to try the males on found the right waist size to my normal size of clothes and they fitted straight away!!!!!

funny that. iv often thought about trying ladies gear to see if it fits better than the blokes stuff im a bit slight of frame and even the small stuff doesnt fit how i want it too

Maybe it depends on the brand. I've found that Richa stuff fits me fine (and in the right size).

Post some then

My first set I had problems was size 12, had to get size 14 trousers and jacket.
Then went down to size 10 n got Hein and Gericke set they fit a treat, no problems in any areas. now on the hunt for another new set as new RED SV

different brands seem to come in completely different shapes and sizes - HG stuff swamped me, A* is just an odd shape ( just seems to be the blokes stuff sized down rather than cut for girls), but my dainese 2-pieces and richa trousers fitted perfectly until I put on a stone .

try on lots of stuff, and go see Jo in Highgate!

all too short are leather pants. The only ones that fit my long legs are my Richa textiles and my draggin jeans, but the draggins are on the long side. Both sets of leathers are too short and the zips burst...I'm hardly porky! I ended up buying taller boots
