SometimesSansEngine Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 My wife is 6 foot 1 and at her wits end (not with me)Does anyone know of any decent motorcycle clothing for the taller lady?Women's jackets always seems to come up short in the arms.She can't wear men's jackets as that doesn't allow for space for... well... her bosom.As for trousers, long leg for women often seems to mean 32 inch leg, which means she'd be riding in three quarter lengths. She's tried men's trousers on but women seem to have wider hips than us (presumably to facilitate childbirth, which we don't need to worry about).If I help her crack this I could end up husband of the year, so help me be a hero everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SometimesSansEngine Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 She has a set of Bull-it jeans from them, they're OK for her but only without any armour in. To do that she'd have to go up a size but then they'd be huge on the waist.So she's aware but also looking for a bit more choice, which is something I guess us men usually enjoy - if a certain brand/style doesn't fit you specifically there's an alternative to try instead.

fullscreenaging Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The only advise I can give you is to give www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk a call and see if they can give you any advice on what they stock. They have the largest stock of motorcycle clothing in the UK. They do a free returns policy so if something doesn’t fit, then you can send it back for an alternative size. Pros: You can try on in the comfort of your own home. Cons: it can take a while longer to get the right fit occasionally. Their head office and shop is in Boston, but they have just opened up another shop in Milton Keynes, which I’m guessing is still to far from you. Their sales model is internet based though. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, so I’m sure you will get the info of which brands are better for the taller person. Good luck and let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SometimesSansEngine Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 So we took a ride to Helmet City Somerset in Cheddar today on the recommendation of a friend. Very friendly place, offered a cup of tea as soon as we walked in and my wife managed to find some Goretex Richa trousers that fitted perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
