4 out of 8 people found this guide helpful.


There are motorcycle jackets, boots, helmets, and gloves made just for women.  The sizing has historically been pretty small but as the women's motorcycle market has grown to above 10 %, the industry is taking notice and building some very good products just for women. Just take a look.

Women's Riding Jackets:  VEGA examined the women's market and made a corportate decision to build gear just for women.  In the last few years, they have introduced two women's riding jackets, three styles of riding boots, and were one of the first companies to offer riding gear in pink. Check out some of these products and the women only features in each of them.

RIDING JACKETS

This is the ultimate year round riding jacket for women.  It has been built to ensure there is plenty of room through the chest for those of us who are well endowed.  It has elastic side panels that provide for our women shaped hips too.  There is a velcro wasit belt with plenty of adjustment.  This jacket while built for women doesn't give up any of the many cool features of the same sort of jacket made for men.  It has a full sleeve insualted zip out liner for warm or cool weather riding, reflective piping on the front and back of the jacket for night riding, CE approved race track approved removable body armor in the elbows, shoulders and spine area made for ultimate impact protection, and it's completely waterproof and breathable ensuring you won't get wet from the rain or from sweating yourself to death.  It looks so good on that you'll forget you are wearing a piece of riding gear.  It comes in solid black or red.  Women sizes SM thru XXL are available.  The best part is that it sells for only $89.99.  See more like this at our ebay store by clicking on the following link:  Ladies Riding Jackets at helmets-n-more.com ebay store

LADIES MESH RIDING JACKETS

The VEGA Nitro Mesh Riding Jacket is the best quality best value mesh jacket on the market.  Just like the VEGA Waterproof Riding Jacket, this jacket is made for women with plenty of room in the chest and hips and the sleeves cut shorter for women.  Velcro closures are at the wrist and on the hips along with commerical elastic that gives when and where needed.  It has a full sleeve zip out insulate liner and a removable CE approved body armor in the elbows, shoulders, and spine areas.  You won't believe the air flow your body gets while in this jacket in warmor hot weather.  With the liner out while you are riding down the road, it's like being in a hot car with no air conditioner and rolling the window down.  The jacket is considered a three season jacket (spring, summer, and fall).  It comes in pink, red, royal blue, and black.  Women sizes Small throu XXL.  Best of all, it retails for only $89.99.  To see more information on these types of jackets, just click the following link:  Ladies Mesh Jackets at helmets-n-more.com ebay store.

LADIES RIDING BOOTS

VEGA makes three different riding boots for women.  Different in styles but also different in that they are made for women, made for riding, and made for walking.  All their boots are made of leather and have an good sturdy rubber sole.  They have a shiftpad sewn into the toe so the gear shifter won't wear a hole in your boot and vents for air which is great for warm weather riding.  Two of the VEGA boots are ankle boots and wear just like a tennis shoe but built for riding.  Customers tell us all the time how comfortable these boots are once they get off the bike.  These are available in women's sizes 5 to 11.  Half sizes are not available so if you wear a half size, just move up to the next whole size.  These boots also run a little wide about a C width.  They retail from $59.99 to $69.99.  To see more information on these boots, click on the following link:  Ladies Riding Boots at helmets-n-more.com ebay store

LADIES OLYMPIA RIDING GLOVES

Olympia Gloves makes many styles of women's riding gloves.  They are made specifically for women at the factory which means no more too long fingers.  They make gloves for the woman off road rider, the woman crusier rider, and even for the women sportbike rider.  The also make vented gloves, armored gloves, mittens, and gortex cold weather gloves.  The best feature of Olympia riding gloves is that they use full grain leather. That is, they use one piece of leather to sew their glove.  Many companies use that same one piece of leather and split it into two pieces of leather to make two pair of gloves.  This is what they call split grain leather.  Further, Olympia drum dyes all their gloves.  They take the leather and soak it in a drum vat so the leather will take on the full color of the glove.  Many companies stretch the tar out of the piece of leather and then spray paint it. Split grain and spray painted gloves are a whole lot cheaper but the quality sure is lacking.  Sooner or later the glove will fade back to a brown and the split grain leather won't hold up like full grain leather would.  To see more information on Olympia gloves and look at all the cool styles, just click on the following link:  Ladies Gloves by Olympia at helmets-n-more.com ebay store
