Staying cool is key during hot summer riding but it’s also important to continue wearing gear that will save your skin and bones during a mishap. Here are some great new women’s riding jackets that will keep you both looking and feeling cooler this summer.
We began our riding boot buying guide with an overview of the different styles available to motorcycle riders. In this article, we share our own personal favorite touring boots and tell you why we love them.
SportBike Chic and Raven Rova are two “for women, by women” motorcycle gear manufacturers making good looking, functional riding apparel that includes plus sizes.
When the weather is hot and the road is calling, throwing on a riding jacket might feel like the last thing you want to do. But now, with the advent of mesh riding jackets, theres no reason not to.
A women’s riding jacket saturated in a “My Little Pony” color scheme may appeal to some women riders, but that bright pink or baby blue is just as likely to elicit eye rolls from others. That duality is what provoked Icon to tactfully revamp its jackets, replacing what many think of as “girly” colors with what the company refers to as “power” colors. After all, that’s what women riders are—empowered!
Icon says, “Give us liberty or give us mesh.” Luckily the company was able to combine the two when it designed these Justice Mesh gloves, as nothing is more liberating for summer riding than a pair of comfortable shorty gloves that breathe.
From a jacket that keeps you cool on those scorching riding days to boots that will take you from July to January, these new items from Harley-Davidson will have you riding in style this summer.
If you’re looking for a riding jacket that’s as sensible as it is stylish, VaVaVroom’s got you covered. The 1.0 Riding Jacket was made for women by women that ride motorcycles and scooters.
Harley-Davidson continues to add to its line of functional riding gear by releasing a new layering system that keeps riders warm without adding all the bulk. Its a product all riders should check out, not just those who ride a Harley. The Rider Comfort System (RCS) is three-layer customizable layering system designed specifically for women.
