Angela Collen Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hi harley, I only do warmer weather riding, no rain, as I have 40 year old bike, I have rst leather jacket full armour, though had to update back protector as only level 1, got D30 thinner style,very comfortable, tee-shirt underneath, helite vest and then high vis vest big enough to allow for inflation of vest,mens oxford trousers as better armour,oxford ladies boots, very comfortable but you need to go up a size, if I didn't have helite vest I would definitely go for added chest armour, can't believe most jackets don't have 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 One thing often overlooked that I find really helpful. Gel insoles for your boots. You can get them very cheap and worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Collen Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Agree with husoi, little things can make life so much more comfortable, there's so much variety in clothing these days, I would always use full armour, look for clothing that has level 2 armour if possible and the thin versions available are much better/comfortable to wear than bulky foam ones, clothing is very personal, sportsbikeshop.co.uk has a lot on offer as early season,you must decide the conditions you will ride in and buy accordingly, eg waterproof needed? Or warm weather only like me? If you can go to a shop it's good to try on various brands as we are all different shapes, I went down in mens kevlar jeans a waist size and perfect fit, be aware of womens clothing with just pink/purple stripe can be less quality but more money, I always wear hi vis vest, you can buy bright pink ones if you prefer,because cars need to see you,even more so if you are a passenger as rear ending is a real danger, you must decide look of clothing and degree of armour etc you want , just remember if you come off even sliding down road can cause nasty injuries, happy shopping, stay safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 There's a company in Guildford that specialises is women's motorcycle clothing. Good quality stuff and decent prices with a good website. My daughter uses them. Motolegends is the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
