    Icon jackets go from XS to XL and XL is a 12/14 so surely an XS would fit?
    They have some really cool black jackets (not all their stuff is pink)
    Does seem to be the way . Lol, most shops don't stock XS though, and I'm so picky, I'd feel bad if they ordered it in for me to try and I didn't buy it.

    If I'm spending that much of my hard earned money with a shop I expect to be able to try it on MY bike, after all, the ergonomics differ rather a lot from bike to bike

    They're flogging motorbike gear and they don't have a bike or two?

    Reminds me of surf shops. And Harley Davidson shops in the US. I don't buy stuff there either.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Motomail only has scooters (I think) which is the place I was talking about - obviously the bike shops have motorbikes.

    Surf shops? Thanks. Might try them next time I'm after some gloves.

    I'm no twiggy, but have found the neo mugello range great(I found at a suzuki MC shop, but no doubt others would stock that brand). I'm short and solid so found their comfort sizing brilliant. Their mens mugello range go up to 6xl. I was xl in the mens but the legs were too long and armour not in the right place, but the ladies comfort sizing fits perfectly, and I'm a 2xl in that. They are textile, but have zip out thermal lining, and are easy to wear, and move in. I seem to fit dri rider, nerve...etc... jackets, but currently wear a nerve jacket
    I'm not arguing, I'm just explaining why I'm right.

    Bigger bits...

    I got a big everythings and tend to go for mens sizes which I dont mind in mbike gear. I find lots of gear on Trademe of plus sizes for both genders in bike gear. I brought all my leather gear there but you need them tighter than usual not loose on mbike. Mind I paid top dollar for good gear.. as well

    techinc do up to a 20 in jackets and Mobig do a wonderful pair of trousers that will fit my considerable arse into them and still be a bit loose. Im fairly tall but its really easy to find good gear these days. i dont reccomend a mans jacket as it will be huge an uncomfortable across her shoulders

    Tripping round Welly bike shops las week, sizes were all teeny tiny. In Palmerston Nth however, totally different story, shops catered to the the larger fit lady sizes and stylish gear too.....one brand was Ixion but other escapes me at the moment
