Bike Gear for Hobbits

[BenchWench]

Hi, Any ladies out there or vertically challenged males who know where I can buy some petite bike trousers with armour?

I'm 5ft 2" and only about a size 6 or 22 inch waist. The pair I've brought that wear the best fit still are so big I can wear it as a strapless body suit.

I tried on about 20 pairs so and they all are really log on the leg and even though trousers are supposed to come up high, but I don't think there meant to cover by lady bumps.

Any solutions guys?

I'm not taking the piss here, but have you tried to get any 'youth' sized moto clothes that have the armour.

I'll have to watch this thread, my better half is the same height and I'm trying to convince her that she needs a bike

Can you actually get junior road gear? I'm assuming there's some sort of age limit before you're allowed on the back of a bike.

I'm only 3 inches taller than you and never really have had a problem with clothing size, my waist is about 28", size 7 feet, but as mentioned try custom bike gear, there is a guy on ebay that does a full custom branded leather riding gear, I was going to order one. (Can't recall name sorry but I remember just looking for bike gear and he was everywhere and highly recommended on reviews)

Harpers will do a made to measure service for an extra £50 per item on leathers. I had mine done there as I have stumps for legs!

Generally being this short and small has its blessings as I don't pay VAT on shoes or kids clothes.

Other times is just a pain in my B&%T

www.scottleathers.co.uk do made to measure, but they offer quite a lot of different sizes/leg lengths off the peg anyway.
I'm only 5'5/ 30" waist/large penis and I found that a normal pair of leathers in a short leg fitted ok. They do an extra short I think as well before you need to go tailored.

I bought my gear from GirlsBike2 and found them really useful. They were in Hitchin but now seem to have moved to St Albans, if you can get to their shop they were really well stocked for ladies of all sizes. Their online store lists everything they sell though and if you give them a ring they are really helpful. I think they are turfing out last years stock for 2014 stuff so there are some bargains to be had.

I bought one-piece leathers from them and I am going back sometime soon to get some two-piece leathers. Can't fault 'em as stockists of lady bike gear

Perhaps not local to you, but they may be able to offer some advice of who does what in your size.
