Gear help request for women

[gemiller]

I wanted to surpise my wife with a set of nice riding gear because I don't think her chaps and leather jacket will look right on my new busa, lol. I was looking for female or someone who shopped for femal gear help. My wife is 5'7" and about 120lbs like a size 5 or so.

What gear or brands fit well and aren't just junk. It took us a while to find cruiser gear that actually fit a wome right. Thanks ahead of time.

And before anyone says it,lol, there is nowhere that sells it anywhere close to me, only think I have close is a custom leather guy but he doesn't do sportbike gear.

Thanks again.

Not a female of course but I really like alpinestars gear. I own a jacket and a one piece by them and the quality is great. i think true to size as well. at least for me. She has a slim size so they may work well. good luck and post up some pics with what you get. One thing I have learned about gear is that it while there are deals out there to be had it seems to me at least, that this is a get what you pay for industry. There is no substitute for quality and safety my friend.... GOOD LUCK

Gear is one place I will not skimp, life can't be replaced as easy as a couple hundred bucks. After dumping my cruiser at a decent pace and walking away with no blood I have a huge thing for wearing all my gear always. I'll definately look at alpine star, it who I was looking at for myself also.

I hope she likes pink because that's pretty much all there is.

You know how women are.
If it does not fit perfect and looks the right way, they won't wear it.

So, I took mine to Cycle Gear and let her pick and fit amongst all the brands they have.
