When it comes to finding riding gear for the lower half of the body, women riders who are tall and/or curvy have the hardest time finding gear that fits. Thats because there is a very limited selection of styles available in larger sizes, unlike jackets, where there are more options available. We’ve compiled a comprehensive list with the most current sizing and prices to date of leather pants and chaps in womens sizes 14 up to 26, including tall.

Even just a few years ago, a woman who was tall, large or curvy—or any combination of the three—had a difficult time finding riding gear that would fit well, protect and help her look good while riding a motorcycle. And if she wanted a choice of styles? Forget it. Like me, many women have stuffed themselves into mens gear for years just to be protected or ride in gear that just doesn’t fit quite right.

APPAREL REVIEW: Kevlar-Lined Jeans with Amazing Style

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Pants and Chaps Reviews

A few months ago, I promised I’d review Draggin Jeans women’s protective riding pants after I posted a review from a WRN reader of her protective riding jeans that she ordered from Draggin Jeans. I ordered a pair of the “Skins” for women by Draggin Jeans. Draggin Jeans is name of the company. Skins is name of the style of pants.
