Hi guys.
I have had my Dririder gears since I brought my Scorpio 4 years ago. Still going very strong. I did purchase some Condura pants with removable liner from 1Tonne which wear great to. Unfortunately don't fit now as I brought them before I got preggers. The problem that I have is my build. I have quite big hips which overall I find it hard to get a nice fitting pair of jeans anyway.
I still wear my Dririder Nordic pants - They fit slightly more snuggly now as I have had a baby who is now 2.5yrs old. Still need to lose a few more kilos to get down to my ideal weight.
I don't want this to put me off getting out on the bike. I still have good gears but would like to purchase another set of pants which suit my build.
Any suggestions?

Get into Leathers - sexxy stuff.
And lots of custom fit options become available....and the smaller traders (sic) are not as expensive as many think.

Mobig for textile gear, for those of us with womanly hips but still go in at the waist. I get mine from the guys at MotoMart here in Hutt. Lovely chaps and they happy to order in for next day try on. As a guide I am about a 20-22 and fit either a 3 or 4 xl in Mobigs. Depends on how much room I want to leave for underneath layers.

cheers

Thanks Ratti. I have Dririder Nordic4 at the moment which were great pre having Jess, now they are a bit Snug. They are size L and my jacket is the same brand at a XL. I brought some textile 1 tonne ones that also fit pre jess too at a size XXL (way different cut) And now I can't get them up...lol.. So selling them.
was looking at leathers but idealling I just want nice gear that I can get on easily over my work uniform and clothes.

Do a tour of the bike shops and try on stuff ...

See what you do/dont like ...

OR ... find a seamstress and get your current gear altered ...
