Why are all ladies bike jackets and trousers frumpy

Unless it’s just me who can’t find stuff I like

Any suggestions on good fitting comfortable jackets girls

Where do you all buy yours???

Personally I have a couple textile jackets - one Jofama and one Triumph. And a Richa leather jacket. The Richa jacket is reasonably feminine they other two less so, but personally not an issue for me - my hate is more that ladies gear is pink and flowery! So I prefer the more boxy, masculine shape of some of the others.

Best fitting and most feminine you're likely to find is Motorgirl. Their Sherrie leggings is the comfiest item I own, actually has space for curves! If I was for buying a new jacket I'd probably go for one of theirs, sizing is brilliant, fit is really good, and they're pretty without always being pink!

Think I got an email from J&S yesterday with their range of Ladies Bike clothing. Take a look, I'm sure prices were reasonable. We do have a J&S shop close to us and I know there are several around the country. As with all bike clothing and sizing these days you will need to try garments on for fit. Hope that helps

I feel your pain !..I know exactly what you mean .

I spend hours online looking for gear that is safe but not frumpy! & as for anything with pink on it .

We went to the NEC bike show in the hope of finding some decent gear but it was rubbish !

My issue is new boots at the min ,I’m gifted with wider calf’s ! .

Hope you guys are both good xx

My winter gear is frumpy, & mostly textiles but come the warmer weather leathers (trousers & jacket )are much more comfortable & nicer to look at ….come to the TT!

Drc leathers between Rotherham and Sheffield are very good. They do made to measure and you can do your own design.

Look at Roadskin trousers. I have a pair their of kevlar lined denim jeans that are brilliant, really comfy and I don't feel like I'm wearing something adapted from a male pair of jeans. My summer jacket is a leather one made by Richa and is feminine and comfy (being brown it's definitely not too girlie looking) it has elbow, shoulder and back armour.

Old fart has been riding bikes for 48 years and he will not let me wear something that he feels isn't up to the job of protecting me. Check out Ace Sport in Norwich as they do a range for females and they are reasonably priced. Himself has been using a pair of their textile trousers in the winter since 2006 and hasn't had any issues with them. RST also have a good range of clothing for females which is worth checking out

Hopefully Road Skin will have an outlet at TT again this year as Mrs F wants some. I bought some back in 2019 when they were there and like poster says they are a great fit. Mrs F wants to try before she buys as the sizing on me was a bit strange. I had to get smaller than the size I usually bought in jeans

I'm not qualified on this obvious sly but Goldtop have some women's jackets that I don't think are frumpy. In fact they look amazing! They have a shop near Standtead Airport so miles away from you.

I can't comment on how they fit ladies.
