Female rider gear

It is no secret that, when it comes to hitting the open road, having the right riding gear is crucial for safety. Us female riders? We've got our unique checklist for gear: it's gotta protect us from the asphalt, fit our bodies like a dream, and look killer on top.  While there's a ton of different models and styles available for guys, the female department is often a tiny little rack in the back of the shops. So without further ado  : Here's a selection of my personal favourites, that don't come from the shrink it&pink it section.

PandoMoto

Pando Moto was one of the first brands I came across through social media. I immediately liked the overall style and presentation of the brand. Sometimes when the style is top notch, the clothes lack the necessary safety regulations, but not with Pando Moto. All of their clothing comes with safety certificates ranging from A to AAA Level, including CE certificates. I'm a health over vanity type of person but when I can get both, y'all can count me in for sure.


My faves:

The Kusari Kor 01 Skinny Jeans (my butt looks so good in those!)

The Base Layers wearable on their own (AA-Level!) or under a hoodie/jacket

Sojourn

If you've ever laid your hands on their buttery-soft leather pants, you'll never want anything else touching your legs while hopping on your bike. The cut, the feel, it really is one of a kind. Also make sure to check out their cargos, if you´re fond of this rad style :

I personally own the Honister armoured shirt as well as the Rydal Jeans. The shirt comes with AAA-Level certification which is equal to the safety level of a leather motorcycle jacket. I got the pants in regular lenght and they are a bit long for my short legs. Other than that the overall fit is great

My personal tips :

Sizing can be challenging, so if you´re gonna try gear, make sure to have a motorcycle in close reach to see how it fits when properly seated. After all you want to have the armoured parts in all the right places in case of a crash.

Jackets: Opt for jackets featuring adjustable elements like waist straps, cuffs, and collar closures to tailor the fit based on your body shape and preferences. Look for designs specifically out for women, acknowledging the variations in body shape. These jackets typically boast a curvier silhouette, taking into consideration the natural curves of the female form.

Gloves: If you have smaller hands, explore brands that cater to this requirement. Personally, I find it challenging to fit into XS male gloves as my fingers don't reach the top at all. I made good experiences with Revit, Dainese and Alpinestars female range.

Pants: Look for brands that provide various leg lengths and a slimmer silhouette to accentuate your curves. Additionally, opting for pants with a bit of stretchy fabric can significantly enhance comfort and flexibility.
