Women's Motorcycle Gear Project

I'm starting a new project and I need some volunteers. I'm starting with a few volunteers to fill out my database so I can put this new website together. I don't have a name yet, but my goal is to help women figure out what might fit them, and how the sizing and fitments will work. 

Size charts only tell you so much, so I'm using real women with real gear (sorry, no casuals on this site for now) to help you shop. On this site you'll find measurements for every woman who submits a photo along with sizing and fit feedback from each person. Hopefully it makes searching for gear easier by also entering your measurement e.g. 41 chest and search results will deliver options for you that might work.

So I need your help because I can't possibly be every woman who rides!

Fill out this google form and then email me some photos (instructions provided in the form)

I might not use your submission depending on what it is. I'm still figuring out how this is going to work and be organized so the more data I have to start with, the better. Only 1 of each item can be submitted right now, so you can submit:

• One Jacket
• One Pants
• One Jacket AND One Pant

I'm shooting for a launch this Summer so if you want to be notified when it launches, sign up for my newsletter.

Email me if you have any questions or post a comment here and I"ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you!!

Women's Motorcycle Jeans

Stumbled upon these riding jeans the other day after reader Amy submitted a question to me about gear. It looks like UglyBros makes super skinny riding jeans.  Since skinny jeans are all the rage right now, it only makes sense, right? however, something tells me these are way too skinny for my liking. I have 2 pairs of skinny jeans at home and those aren't as skinny as other jeans, and they drive me crazy. But the nice thing about these is that they offer hip and knee armor (one of my pet peeves with riding jeans for women when they withhold armor). Although the denim is not a denim + kevlar weave, they reinforce the hip and knee areas with DuPont Kevlar.

Given the features & fit that Rev'it offers in it's women's riding jeans, I can't see paying more for these unless I really wanted or needed the skinniest possible fit possible. Or if I simply liked the aesthetic design more than other brands on the market. Apparently this brand comes from S. Korea. I can see why they're so skinny.

"Sorry to disappoint you but riding motorcycles is not a low riding, hipster hugging, saggy ass jean kind of activity. You need real pants." -Me.
