Guest Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi all, I am after some kit for my misses (Motorbike kit). I will go textile route, and already have a helmet but will need :- Trousers, jacket, gloves, and boots. My wife is tiny, she is 4' 9" and a size 6-8 (depending on brand) her foot size is 3 1/2. Do we think I should go for ladies sizes or (as sometimes happens with her) buy kids stuff. Also any ideas on good suppliers in South Wales?. Any help will be gratefuly received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Morning Rosie If you the fleabay route think twice maybe about the boots I bought mine from a shop and glad I did I'm a size 5 and had to buy 6 n half !!!

Susieque Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 In my experience it can be quite difficult finding a decent stock of ladies gear - the choices in some of the usual stockists can be pathetic to say the least. I've also found it essential to try things on!! Sizing seems to be totally different to that of ordinary clothes! When looking for textile trousers I tried on XL and they were too small!! I'm a size 12 in normal clothes, and anyone who knows me would say I'm definitely NOT XL!!!Try things on, make a note of brand and design name then try and find them on ebay for a cheaper price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks all. Went to a dealer today choice was rubbish but we did sort out a few sizes for brands. My misses tried on some boots and we will definately buy them from a shop as the sizes vary too much. They had no kiddies stuff but I'll look on the recomended site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susieque Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 This is the place I got most of my gear from - a little shop in Hitchin that caters just for ladies! Not a huge stock and not cheap stuff but maybe worth a look. http://www.girlsbike2.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Bought a waterproof jacket and trousers (all padded and protected) off ebay for £26 (plus £10 p+p) look brand new and apparently only worn 3 times . Looks like a bargain but we will see when delivered. Bought new leaher gloves also off ebay for £10 and will see what they are like when delivered. We will buy boots from a shop because of the fit . But all in all it's going pretty good so far. I just want the little lady safe and dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a list of the stores on the website with locations. Knowledgeable, helpful staff, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
