There's no scope for women's leather gear... why aren't we important?

Yeah my bum is big too - all the better to sit on!
The sizing for women's gear seems to be weird too - I am a size 12 in the top half and I wear an XL which is the largest size in the range I like.......... I find it amazing that a 12 bust is XL - what about 14,16,18,20 etc boobs???

I think it is just a matter of time before more womens gear is available - I was at a womens dirt bike riding course and they let us loose in Cycletreads - most of the womens bought complete outfits - pants, tops, armour, boots, gloves and helmets - there is huge potential there, all these women that were wanting to wear the "cute/pink" fox gear and spending up large. They all had really flash dirt bikes too.

Of course I was there in my borrowed gear with my $400 2 stroke bike letting the side down........

the guys will say to let anything bigger hang around in the fresh air. best get that one out of the way.

Im a tall size 20 and i can get gear that is a really nice fit. Im not to worried about flash and bling tho. it might be harder to find stuff if I needed bling as well.

And that is why I often end up buying mens gear because chicks who need motorcycle gear are teeny tiny little things that perch on the back of their fella's bike, so only need to make stuff that goes up to a size 12, tough shit if you have boobies beyond a size C cup...... fuckers! No, no, I'm not pissed off.....

Try Kerrie at http://www.msw.co.nz/index2.html

She specialises in womens gear.

Have you checked out the Icon range? Skinny leg (thigh) leather pants with boot leg bottom's - feminine as....... ($129.00 US) Anyone able to parallel import? There's an importer in Australia. Check it out - the dude at cycle treads has spoken to his boss about importing fem biker gear - but his boss thinks there's NO DEMAND!!! The boots on Icon are amazing - and well priced when you think about how much shapeless Draggin jeans costs.

**Ratti** · 19th February 2010, 18:37

same argument love...skiny leg trou arnt gonna do my shape any favours. Or any other mature woman...and we ride a lot more often than you might think. so the dude at cycle treds is sortof right. the demand is here, but the logistics of what to stock is enough to put anyone off.

**Quasievil** · 19th February 2010, 19:51
