Hi Angel cake, I agree with all the girls. You really need to go out and try on leathers. It s like jeans in a way, one make will fit in your usual size and the next wont.
I have a pair of Richa leather and textile bootcut ones, that i have seen a few women wearing. They are both great for protection and fit our womanly curves too
In winter I go for textile, waterproofs for obvious reasons ...rain, snow, sleet, wind brrrrrhhhhhhhh
Happy hunting, you will find a pair that suits you hun
Please remember never buy a second hand helmet. (you don't know its history, knocks etc) Always buy new!! this is one thing you should try on before you buy for the fit.
Got to agree with Ellie on that one your head is worth more to you , get the best you can afford ... and if you cannot afford it save for few more weeks.
Like Ellie I prefer leathers outside of boots , boots feel less restraining that way
