im having trouble finding bike gear to fit,,there must be loads of biker ladies out there with an ample bosom and curves that have found kit that fits properly,, any suggestions girls? xx
blues.... is there anything that you want to tell us about what you do with your weekends
Would recommend ladybiker aswell, also hein gericke there sizing is rubbish but fit is good
Ive gotta say Hein Gericke are good for us real woman lol just wish a lot more of bike shops would get more sizes instead of twig fit x good luck in your hunt hun, my mate swears by ebay but shes a twig fit x
i'm a bit sad and just go for the blokes stuff, i know i'm a woman underneath !! even if i end up looking more like the Mitchelin man , a big Whatever , long time since i fitted into my girly leathers , if there are any sticks out there i have shed loads of good stuff,
Frank Thomas make good ladies clothing and the price is not extortionate.
JTS have a factory shop in Leicester and make ladies bike gear in large sizes.
I find that leathers are always smaller than the proclaimed size compared to standard clothing. But most textiles will have a stretch panel which makes them fit a bit better.
Boody - I notice you're in York. Infinity M/cycles do a good range in ladies clothing. J&S in Leeds do a reasonable selection too. I can never get Hein G stuff to fit.

Heine Gerike sizing does indeed seem to be weird, as does the fit - my newest leather trousers from them were supposedly a ladies size 14 but fitted me better and were far more comfortable than any of their mens equivalents (I'm 6 foot tall, average build, 36" waist) and being a soutpaw the back-to-front zip fly is not in the slightest bit inconvenient. In fact the legs were if anything rather on the generous side even though I'm pretty tall and have long legs. Go figure.
yeah, I'm really short at 5ft and even with womens sizes the knee protectors and padded knee bits hover just above my ankes with yards to spare at the bottom of the legs, duh
errr, how come you were trying on ladies trousers Warhed hmmmm?
i had real probs at Fowlers last week all ladies stuff was italian so skinny ass sizes and the mens stuff made me look like extra off Dynasty with hoofing shoulder pads lol but i do have Frank Thomas jacket which fits reasonable
but it has forced me to look at meself and lose some weight first target goal of losing a stone is kevlar jeans so low fat ice cream for me sunday at Brean lol
