I've been looking for leathers for some time now and cant find any in the style i'm looking for. Sad

I'm looking for some with knee sliders on, i've thought about mens but i'm not sure on the fitting.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Im sure Dainese do a decent collection of Womens leathers

The kind with stars and fairies and other 'pretty' stuff.

And Alpinestars have a collection under the name "Stella" just for women as well, ill need to have a look for you, I'm sure i stumbled across it a wee while ago .

Edit

Haha Check out some of these

And it took me a while, but i found it

Dainese Yu Lady Leathers there called.
I'm sure if you done a search on the web you can find more stuff like it.

1) What style are you looking for?

2) Why do you want kneesliders? However, allowing for the fact that you may need them when you eventually get a bike have you thought about getting detachable ones rather than built-in? Easier to position them so they are in the right place for you for a start................

Hein gericke have a fairly good range. Most probly wont be on the website as it aint been updated in a while. pop inot a shop and and pick up a catalogue to see them all in there.

i think they do a 2 piece baby blue / black / white with knee sliders for £300.

or they got some alpinestar 2 piece leathers with knee sliders Thumbs Up

Missed the ones in the picture because work blocks alot of hotlinks, but also, that's one pair of trousers, and they're one piece. One pair, it's so good to have a choice. They're also not available through the link given.

Thanks for the help though, coilin1. Rolling Eyes

Try GirlsBike2 for leathers that actually fit.

They don't do Dainese, though, as Dianese insist that anybody stocking their female range should also stock their male range. They don't quite understand the concept of women only shop... Funnily enough, they don't insist that anybody stocking their male range stock the female range, too... Rolling Eyes

personally, im a fan of getting leathers second hand off ebay

loads more choice than in your average shop

in the shop, try on the brand you like to find ur size, then get some off ebay

if nothing else, looking through give you an idea of what styles you like

Stranger things have happened! It's just a silly attitude they have.

GB2 is one of the few places where all their trousers come with hip armour as standard, they don't accept any without it, although manufacturers such as Alpinestars are saying women don't want it, as it makes their bums look big. Hence, in a lot of other shops, you'll have to specifically ask (and order) the hip armour.

I have some RST ladies leathers and they do have knee sliders on them. They're unisex in style, but i like them. Mine are all black https://www.rst-moto.com/products.asp?product=28 Thumbs Up

Problem is i wont be able to use my knee sliders until next year when i get a bigger bike Crying or Very sad I just got them while i had the money, and it gives me some incentive as well!

I would honestly buy a pair of trousers that fit and are comfortable, then buy some knee sliders separately if you feel you're going to need them...

Much better to have properly fitting kit than just choose something because it a) looks pretty or b) makes you look more 'hardcore'.

^ They are incredibly hot! Drooling Also I've seen them in white somewhere before which looks very nice if you're into it.

https://www.harpersraceshop.co.uk/item1850.htm

Just trousers there with knee sliders and a zip to go with a jacket.

Also as posted before there is that Dainese leather 1 piece suit which comes in both black and white.

Mel, I know this is a little late, but if you buy a set of mens leathers, you can take them to Mojo's in Canterbury and have them altered to fit you. My ex wife did this with the last 2 sets that she had, Bought on e bay and tailor fitted at less than half the price!!!
