Quote from: Maduro Mistressaaronstj - the REALLY expensive ones are. And if you can get it, that's what you want - it's the strongest leather out there. (Trust me, I'm from Kangaroo land!)

badger, that pic was taken in the first hour I had my bike (when my "real" helmet, gloves and jacket were on backorder. I got all my stuff in the next couple of days after that and then never got any more photos

LOOOOOONG story on why I moved here. In short.
Came here for college.
Found a husband.
Moved with hubby to cheeseland.
Divorced husband.
Still stuck in cheeseland. (My cats are here!)
And we have a cigar lounge that you're still allowed to smoke in so I'm a-o-kay!

Because I've heard negative things about Joe Rocket from a couple of sides, I've been looking for a different make of waterproof jacket.  I'm looking at the Aquavent and the Sirocco.  The Sirocco looks like a better jacket...


But they don't make it for women.  

I ordered the men's MotoGP Alpine pants because they drop a pocket on the women's.  It just boggles my mind - why?

scratch - nice site - thanks!

It looks like they only have one jacket and one pant option each of leather and textile for women, though, and it doesn't have armor.

Roadster - actually if you click on any of the guys stuff it says in little print (avail in womens sizes 8 - 20)

Available in Australian sizing
Men's XS - XXL (95 - 120cm chest)
or Women's 8 - 20
Or made to measure
.....


In all honesty - I want something like this, but I have ah, hips, shall we say - she looks so friggin comfy though - I hate her!  :x

Ah, IC.

Well, you should go try it on...     Nearest Ducati store.  Try on some Dainese leathers and sit on a 749 and make vruum noises.  That's what I did.

you really made vroom noises? LOL

my nearest dearler is about 80 miles from here. And then I'll want to buy a ducati and I've already set my mind on my next bike.

That, and I don't think I'd be able to fit my left foot in Dainese leathers - sigh...

In Europe (never ever in the US, of course) they have a day where you can go meed Rossi's "personal leather tailor" and get measured up for a custom suit and have him and his crew make it.

I hate everybody right now - I would KILL for an opportunity to do that.

OK after reading all of that.  Those girls look like hookers(the Joe Rocket ones) or really bad elvis impersonators ie flared pants.  If you like hookers cool, if you like hookers with road rash even better.  These leathers were probably designed by men who have no idea what women want or need especially in any type of athletic or competition type thing.  It is all sadly reminesant of the uniforms in "A League of their Own".

It is ok if a girl rides a bike as long as she looks cute?!!!!

I actually tried on those JoeRocket chick leathers (the black ones with tan trim).  The jacket fit sorta ok, but seemed like it flared out alot at the bottom.  The pants were amazingly sexy...but low-rise? No way could I wear the pants without them zipped to the jacket.  I do not need plumber-crack from leathers!!

I love seeing (and laughing at) girls on the back of a bike, with low-rise pant hanging halfway down. Do they not feel the breaze?

Me too :kiss:

One girl I know, who happens to ride a sportsbike, is awesome to ride behind. She is a bit on the squidly side as far as gear goes, and her t-shirt always hikes up her back. You get a great veiw of "The Tramp Stamp".

If they don't feel it now, they will when they crash...

What the heck is a tramp stamp?  :dunno:
