1 Piece Leather Women’s Motorcycle Suits
It can be extremely difficult to find an off the rack 2 piece leather suit that fits, let alone a 1 piece.
Most dealers can’t afford to stock a full size run of women’s suits, so it’s even harder for them to justify stocking full size runs. It’s a catch 22, how do we buy more of them when there’s not enough to try on in some dealerships?
But I know you’re out there. I’ve compiled a list of off the rack Women’s race suits that are currently on the market, from some of my favorite manufacturers who continue to devote full lines of protective gear for women. I’ve listed these in alphabetical order, by brand.
Dainese, AlpineStars and GiMoto all offer 2 piece leather suits that will zip together to create a 1 piece but I’m excluding them from this list. If you want to know what 2 piece options exist, just visit the manufacturer website.
I guess my next bit of homework is to make a list of 2 piece leather recommendations….
If I missed any suits, Please post a comment and let us know what you have and where you bought it!

The darker black areas are stretchy panels. A friend of mine has this suit and something that she didn’t expect is the freedom of movement um, down around the groin. The panels that appear darker black in the photo above are stretchy. So when you’re wearing the suit, the lower half doesn’t feel as restricted as in a regular pair of leather pants. If you’re riding a sportbike, I can see how this would help make the suit feel more comfortable, particularly during a track day.

I will tell you that the Sedici suits run reallyreallyreally small! Great if you are petite. If you can’t try one on in a Cycle Gear store, call customer service and ask them to give you some actual garment measurements!
Great review, Joann. I have the Arlen Ness black ladies suit; it’s important for the ladies to know if you have anything up “top”, you’re going to have issues. I tried on a set and they fit my butt/legs/hips and waist PERFECTLY. Then I attempted to zip up and NO GO. Went up a size, can zip over the “girls” but the suit is gigantic everywhere else. Manufacturers need to come up with a safe way to include stretch panels in the places that matter to women (boobs, hips, butt, calves). That’s the key to good-fitting leathers off the rack.
Oh that’s too bad. I guess they figure most women have proportionate bodies or um flat chests. Did you ever find something off the rack or are you going custom?
…and oh, I’m a 38C.
I wish I had seen this review before I purchased my “custom” one piece. I wish now that I had spent the extra money and went with the Spidi or Dainese. After getting three different suits I decided to just keep the one that fit the best. It’s not the style or colors I wanted and I’ll have to have it altered. I just got tired of getting a suit, it not fitting and starting over hoping they get it right.
