PRODUCT REVIEW: Speed and Strength “To The Nines” Textile Jacket

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Smaller Brands Reviews, Sportbike Corner, Textile Jacket Reviews

I’ve always said the best jacket is the one you don’t realize you have on. Women’s riding jackets have many pitfalls when it comes to fit and function, such as bulky collars, restrictive fit, awkward cut in the chest or arms, lack of protection, and lack of adjustability. Normally I can find at least one of these problems in each of the many jackets I’ve worn, but not so with Speed and Strength’s To The Nines Textile Jacket.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Speed and Strength “Little Miss Dangerous” Gloves

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Glove Reviews, Smaller Brands Reviews, Sportbike Corner

One of the most frustrating things I’ve found about the market for women’s motorcycle gear is the difficulty of finding a pair of shorty gloves that work. In my 11 years of riding, I can’t tell you how many shorty-style gloves I’ve tried, and most of them either do not fit properly or don’t last.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Tour Master Motive Jacket

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Textile Jacket Reviews, Tour Master and Cortech Reviews

When I started riding motorcycles in 1995, I was young, naive and didn’t know anything about riding gear. So I went to Wilsons Leather in the mall and picked out the coolest-looking brown and black leather jacket with the longest fringe I ever saw. I knew it was big and heavy, but I loved that fringe and even had grandiose ideas of adding beads and braids to make it unique to my style.

In the sportbiking lifestyle, sometimes fashion outweighs function. Many of today’s female sportbike riders prefer edgy, alternative garments with spunky designs and vibrant colors. So the quest becomes finding pieces that are fun to wear but also provide a level of protection.

I’ve had my fair share of falls and crashes with my motorcycle, but having the right gear to protect my body made all the difference when it came to recovery. If anything was loose or too big, I paid for it. Luckily, that was back before gear manufacturers began to focus on the needs of women riders and create gear that fits snugly and comfortably so women can have a safer ride.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Rukka Armiina Riding Suit

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Gear in Large Sizes, Riding Suit Reviews, Rukka Reviews, Smaller Brands Reviews, Textile Jacket Reviews

I live in Idaho, and our riding season is quite short—we’re lucky if we’re able to ride seven months out of the year. But earlier this spring, I was fortunate enough to receive a Rukka Armiina riding suit to try out. The Armiina is a three-season motorcycle-riding suit intended to insulate you from the weather and give you more time on the road. I am pleased to say that I (comfortably!) started riding a month earlier than usual thanks to this suit.
