THE GREAT WOMEN MOTORCYCLING CLOTHING DILEMMA

WHAT CAN WE DO?
WORDS AND IMAGES COURTESY HOLLY FIELDS

The timing of being asked to write about women’s motorcycle gear also coincided midway through 6 months of frustration while replacing most of my very worn-out gear. To put it simply, if you are female and not sized either 12 or 14, the process is not quick or simple. I do not want to discount that men also find issues with fitting and supply but the common discussion I have experienced with female riders is finding suitable gear is challenging. This article is limited to mostly touring and adventure gear and does not consider other areas of motorcycling such as off-road clothing of which I have no experience.
