redkow97 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 the kevlar enforced jeans are better than nothing, but for what they cost, real textile motorcycle pants offer considerably more protection for marginally more money.They also generally have straps that keep the armor in place in the event of a crash. That would make them more fitted than buying baggy mens jeans to get a set that is long enough./$.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 http://www.gravitatejeans.com/products-page/womens-apparel/womens-indigo-jeans/^these have a stretchy crotch so you can sit on the bike for a long time and come in 34" inseam, but they don't talk about any extra protection... so they're pretty much just jeans.http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/DRAYKO-WOMENS-DRIFT-JEANS^These say they're all 34" inseam.... questionable, but its what the website says. I feel ya with the short pants. Its hard to get good fitted women's motorcycle gear in general, especially if you want it to fit and not cost an arm and a leg.

snot Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Is there not a women's forum for these questions? Asking a forum full of dudes about riding pants for a chick probably won't yield desirable results.Yes there is, but if I recall a lot of men here ( like twisted rabbit) have/ know women who ride and might be able to aid in answering some of these questions.

Chrome Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I read on the internet skirts offer the most protection. It has to be true, it was on the net! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tall_tracy Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I feel your pain, I'm freakishly tall (6'1") and have been looking for pants as well. I don't have any advice but if you find something that works, let me know.Also, I'm looking for a good pair of gloves, have you found anything? My fingers just don't work in women's gloves.

snot Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I had to find XS gloves and the fingers are still a little long. At least there not a youth large anymore.Alpinestar Stella might be worth looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 And I have the long fingers. Great for musical instruments, but not for gloves.I buy one size up, which is ok, since tight gloves on a bike won't work.Flexing hand into a fist on the grip long term needs a bit more room.You might not enjoy tight gloves.

I love my riding jeans but they honestly offer way less protection than I should have on most of the rides I'm on. They're great for just putting around the parks with the gf on the back though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modular Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 this!

Bad324 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 That's as simple as adding these two items under your jeans:I'm talking about Shift jeans, those bitches were $75. If I'm gonna add in the expense of those 2 items plus the kevlar jeans, I'm gonna plunk down the change on a good pair of textile pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modular Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I wear Slider jeans at $80/pair. I just prefer the feel of jeans. I have used textile pants and did not like them. It's nice to have options, ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Do you really need that much protection hanging around in the kitchen?In all seriousness, the Forcefield stuff is great, but doesn't offer any abrasion resistance, which is the whole issue with jeans. My recommendation, similar to others, is always at least some ballistic nylon riding pants. Any of the less expensive brands will be better than jeans, and I believe that Iron Pony keeps many in stock (in addition to a large selection of riding jeans if that's really what you're after). The best way to find something that fits is just to drop by and try a bunch of stuff on. Edited March 26, 2013 by Hailwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
