women's gear

[skoozi12]

doh i just saw the gear forum...mods can you move this maybe. I'm sorry it's been a long azz day...

Hey ladies, I just registered for this and I think it's awesome.

So here is the question. Obviously, moto gear manufacturors make lots of stuff for the guys. The women's market is growing significantly and so is the demand for products. I think it would be cool if we all listed what we are wearing (you know since we are all ATGATT) so that others can get an idea of what's out there and what people are happy with.

I'll start...but let me warn you I am a gear whore and I collect this stuff...In fact, if I have time tonight i'll take some pics so that everyone gets the idea. It would be pretty cool to get some reviews of stuff on here too. Just an idea.

Ok...

Jackets-
Icon Kitty in blk (it's a little much but it fits)
JR Cleo in blk (I do not feel to safe in it)
Hein Gericke 2-piece suit (not sure of the model its older)

Pants
The ones from the suit
Tour master cortech womens pants (these rock my world)

Gloves
Icon superduty (they le suck)
Alpinestars Sp-1 (dont fit right)
Racer High End (freakin expensive but so worth it, these are excellent)

Helmets
I ended up with a few..
Shoei RF1000 Nerve red (pretty sweet one, fit is great) sz. s i think
another RF1000 older, it's red
Scorpion EX-400 Blk (this helmet rules)

Boots
Sidi Rose (so so comfy)
Sidi Vertebra 2 (haven't worn them on a bike yet...)

I think that is all I have but it's really sort of pathetic.

:blush: *goes and hides in a hole somewhere*:blush:

edited cuz it's monday ;)

Moved it for ya!

I have a pair of Sidi vertibras - great boots! I crash tested mine at the end of the season - well worth that $300!

OK, I'll join the fun:

Jackets:
Vanson - Night Challenger (Awesome jacket, worth every penny.)
Joe Rocket - Rocket 88 (This jacket is tha bomb! I crashed in this jacket and you can barely tell. The only thing that broke in the crash was the zipper pull and one snap. I sent the jacket to Joe Rocket to get repaired and they didn't charge me! Not even for return shipping!)
Hein Gericke - Can't remember model name, and they don't make it anymore (It's been a good jacket, not the best fitting "womens" jacket I've ever owned though.)

Pants:
Joe Rocket - Ballistic (I had a lot of trouble with these pants and had to exchange them three times because the seams kept popping open. The third pair has held up well, but the last time I wore them in the rain I noticed that they've started leaking in the crotch area. Not too bad though since I've had them a couple of years now.)
Joe Rocket - Mercury (Nice pants, very comfortable and flattering. Obviously were cut and made for the female figure. Has pocket for knee protection, but not hip armor. They've held up well so far.)

Gloves:
I've owned sooo many pairs of gloves I can't even begin to list them all.
Held - Galaxy (in my opinion, these are the gloves by which all others are measured. Another pricey piece of gear that turned out to be worth every penny.)
ICON - TiMax Gauntlet (Gaudy, but they saved my hands in a crash and barely had a scratch on them... so I can't complain really. They did their intended job.)
BMG - Thermosport (I haven't had them very long, but I'm not too impressed with the quality of materials as they're already starting to fall apart. They have been waterproof though, I've had no wet fingers.)

Helmets:
Shoei - X-Eleven (The most awesome helmet I've ever put on my head... period. I crashed in my old one and promtly replaced it with another)
Shoei - RF800 (great helmet, but not nearly as awesome as the X-11)
Shoei - RF700 (again, perfectly good helmet, I'm just spoiled now)

Boots:
Frey Daytona - Urban GTX (Great boots! They're a biatch to get on and off, but I've walked around in them all day, every day, without any discomfort... AND they're waterproof... and when I say waterproof, I mean WATERPROOF! I crashed in these boots and they saved my feet for sure. I know that I would have been knocked right out of my old boots had I been wearing them)

[Gixxergirl]

I think I'm the only Icon freak out there:(

Jacket: Icon Kitty (The only problem I've had is in the elbows. Now that it's broke in, it's not nearly as tight, but it was leaving red marks)
chaps: Icon Kitty (I absolutely LOVE these... not only do I think they look awesome, they fit great and cut down the wind so much. I ride in 30-40 degree temps sometimes)
Helmet: Icon Kitty (I'm sure that everyone sees the trend)
KBC basic model in silver (always good to have an extra)
Gloves: Joe Rocket Mesh
Icon Pursuit Stealth (I love them)
Boots: Icon Superduty (Haven't wore them enough to get an opinion BUT they cost me 15 bucks. I decided if I didn't like them, I wasn't out much)
