Looking for more/better gear for my wife . . .

fishnride · 10-21-2007, 11:05 PM

Yeah - I'm a guy . . . .

but my reason for being here is to find out about gear for women that doesn't look so 'manly'? My wife loves to ride her 600RR, but I hate it that she won't consider wearing leather pants or boots. She says that the leather pants and boots are ugly. . . . And yes, I've had an off where I had some not so nice injuries for her to see. Granted - she does wear the leather riding jackets, helmets, and gauntlet gloves that I've gotten her - but hey - I'm a leg man, and she isn't doing much to keep them safe.

Does anyone have a suggestion for some feminine, yet effective, gear for her?

Thanks in advance -

Alpinestars makes the Stella line for women. These are Stella Track/bat pants/

If she really wants to be matching but have the luxury of being able to just use a jacket, there is a nice two piece from A*s.

I would recommend A*'s over anything else. Their quality is great and if you do have an issue they stand behind their product.

Those are nice!

I tried on a pair of Frank Thomas leather pants at Cycle Gear that fit and looked great. However, I'm not sure how I feel about Frank Thomas.. never owned anything from that brand before.

I wear Alpine star and joe rocket. I can't wear mens gear as I am only 5' tall. and I am curvey about 150# (working on that) but I also do not want girly girl leathers. Of course you can always order Vansons but there goes the budget (at least mine) for a few years.
Good luck
