Women's Gear-questions/recommendations?

**Femmekat** · 07-14-09, 01:15 PM

Since hardly any shops stock ladies stuff to try on...I'll be ordering blindly online I suppose. Firstly, anyone have recommendations on websites that have lots of ladies stuff? When I was surfing around, seems like all the big places carry the same small selection...

I am looking to get boots, pants, and/or leathers in the future and am wondering how the brands run as far as size goes... I know with helmets some run smaller/larger so any input about your experience with sizing would be great...

Also recommendtions/reviews on pants/boots?

Thanks gals!

I really encourage you to try and find a dealer to buy through. I bought my leather jacket at motomarket (http://www.motomkt.com/) in Acton- def worth the visit they have a lot of women's gear in stock. Also, most dealers have the catalogues there and you can order through them and *most of them will cover any shipping charges (especially if something doesn't fit and you need to send back).

I wear the alpinestars stella boots- I even have two pairs of them, yes they are that good. They perform great on the street and I race with them on the track. They're comfortable and I find the price reasonable.

I wear Vanson leathers on the track. I bought mine in the seconds rack for the bargain price of $450. I def recommend checking them out, they have a cool store and quality gear. The brand new stuff is super pricey though, be warned.

Seacoast in derry carries women's leather

Also, My good friend george works at Brocton cycle. They have a ton of gear in stock. If you ask for him and tell him Brendan sent you, he will take care of you very well. I promise you.

kat- what kind of pants are you looking for? Leather, textile, jeans?

**Femmekat** · 07-14-09, 01:34 PM

Ummm.....Probably leather, willing to consider jeans too. Probably not textlie, they just seem so crunchy.

I really like Icon's jackets for women. We have a ton of women's jackets here but it would be a good 45 mins or more for you

Ditto.

Be careful of women's gear on line, some brands/models are geared more toward fashion than protection.

Brockton Cycle and Bettencourts are close together and have an assortment of gear.

I have always ended up with mens gear though due to my height.

Ok. One pair I would actually not recommend is the A* stella cat pant (leather). I had a pair and thought maybe it was a size too small (though I always wear a sz 3) because the snap kept unsnapping. But my little sister has them now and has the same issue and she's considerably smaller than I am. Its just a poor snap to use on leather pants- the pants are also very minimal and though they would protect better than jeans, you can probably find a better versatile pair of leather pants for the money.

I myself wouldn't mind some riding specific jeans, but I've heard plenty of complaints about them. Icon doesn't even make them anymore and dragging jeans are fugly

not to mention I've heard several complaints about them falling apart, the build quality is very poor on them.
