I was introduced to Fox Creek Leather when my husband was in need of a new motorcycle jacket. We were looking for something well-constructed, durable, and made in the United States. The garments from Fox Creek Leather seemed to fit the bill, so we placed an order for a mens leather riding jacket.

Whether or not you wear a helmet, its nice to keep stray hairs secure so you dont end up with a rats nest on your head after your motorcycle ride. There are a lot of headwraps to choose from, but at Women Riders Now (WRN), we love the quality and comfort of the headwraps, bands and beanies from DesignWraps.
Tribal Design Headwear is All the Rage
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.
Product Review: Georgia II Womens Jacket from Fly Racing
I’m pretty proud of the fact that at 49 years of age I still have flat abs, thanks to a lifetime of healthy eating and working out. Nonetheless, I’m a modest woman, so I’ll spare you the photos of middle-aged me wearing the Freegun bra and underwear and leave that to the hot young chicks in this photo.

I like when a motorcycle jacket is described as being “specifically styled and cut for women” and truly is. The Alpinestars Stella T-Fuel Waterproof Jacket has smaller-circumference closures at the wrists and neck to correctly fit a woman’s features, plus an extended profile makes it long enough to fit over a womans hips.

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.

Just on the heels of the release of its most technologically advanced flip-up helmet, the C3W, Schuberth has up and done it again! The helmet manufacturer is introducing the C3 Pro Women, loaded with improvements and refinements and positioned as a “partner” to the C3W, one of the first flip-up helmets specifically designed for women.
A Great Helmet Gets Even Better
It may be winter in most parts of the country, but nows the time to start shopping for your spring and summer riding jacket. Weve discovered a fashionable and protective jacket thats part leather, part textile, and works for cruiser and sportbike riders.
