Chick gear questions

[mrblink]

My chickie rides a Ninja 250, and she is pretty tiny, so finding gear is almost impossible.  She's 5'4", between 100-105 pounds.  She wears size 0-2 pants, and XS-S tops.  We tried some JR Phoenix pants in XS, and they looked like larges that were sewn up small in the back (all bunched up).  Gericke pants looked like high-waters - knee pads on her thighs, but fit everywhere else.  Small Gericke leather jacket was too big.  Does anyone else have this problem, any solutions??

In some of the catalogues I've looked at, there are often sections with sizes of gear for children...I wonder if she might be able to find a kids size that would work for her??  I know some very petite ladies that sometimes look for kid sizes in clothing stores...so why not.  Worth a look.

A friend of mine is very small, and she races an SV. She's been through the same thing.

There are some places that specialize in women's gear:

Kid's stuff tends to be crap. They don't seem to care about the quality or fit.
