Ive been wearing motorcycle boots made specifically for women for a number of years and found they fit great, but lacked in the protective elements that are easily found in mens boots, in my opinion. I decided to make my next boot purchase based on functionality, not gender.

Where some lower priced jackets come up short, but the REVIT! Levante shines making it worth its $300 price tag. I wore the jacket in a light rain shower and stayed dry. The shell of the Levante is part mesh, part textile so it’s breathable and works as a summer mesh jacket when the liner’s removed.

They may be called Racer Gloves, but dont be fooled into thinking the gloves this company makes are for racers only. Racer Gloves are for any street rider—cruiser, sportbike, or sport touring—with styles available for men and women. I tested the women’s “Warm Up” glove, one of two designed for cooler weather.

All right, full disclosure upfront: Harley-Davidson’s FXRG leather overpants for women are more expensive than most riding pants and chaps. They’re also one of the most functional and comfortable riding pants I’ve ever worn, making them well worth the investment of four beans!

The moment I put on TCX’s Lady Aura boots, I knew I was going to love them forever. Wearing them is like putting my feet in a warm bath—the extra soft and supple full-grain leather conforms to my feet so well, they might as well be custom made.

Although most riders associate the gear from Fly Racing with dirt bikes and other forms of off-road motorcycling, the company has been beefing up its line of street motorcycle gear, offering a small collection of womens street-biking apparel that includes jackets, pants and gloves.

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.
New Layering System Without the Bulk
No matter how you slice it, women riders are still motorcycling underdogs. For years, I wore men’s boots because women’s styles just weren’t available. I’m talking about real riding boots with reinforced and sturdy waterproof material, ankle protection, and nonskid soles. All I found on the women’s shelves were boots with ridiculously high heels and frilly adornments.
