Default Some More Gear Help

My daughter is getting her first street bike soon. We are looking for some gear for her to both ride in and for her track days. We spent over an hour in Cycle Gear today trying on anything that looked like it would fit, but no luck.

I want her to wear leather (over protective Dad) and be two piece that zips around 360 degrees.

She is 5'1", waist: 33, chest: 35, arm: 25, inseam: 25. She weighs about 110 (I think) The sites I have checked just don't seem to match her measurements.

Can anyone here help me out some?????????

No women's gear in the store to be found except some mesh and she doesn't like that. She tried on A* leathers (size 30 and 32) Frank Thomas (I don't remember the sizes) and Dainese leathers. The waist would fit but the length was way too long. We are planning to go to Atlanta, GA next weekend, maybe we will have better luck there.

Her inseam is really going to be a challenge. I am not sure what my daughter's insem is, but the Teknic Venoms fit lengthwise. She is 5' and 88#. Good luck.

You could contact Hybrid, the mod of the Help Me Fix It forum here. He does custom leathers, maybe he could hook you up.

Thanks AC!

Right now we are constantly going over things before she gets on the road with me (and only me). She most likely grow a bit more before she is in the saddle. She WILL be doing at least two or three track days before November. And the MSF course of course. She is completely set on leather.
