Stylish and Comfortable All-Weather Riding Suit

Finding motorcycle gear that balances protection, comfort, and versatility isn’t always easy. The Vanessa jacket and pants deliver a thoughtful mix of all three—making it a strong option for women riders who want one set of gear to handle a wide range of conditions.

Protection Without Bulk

Protection is a key highlight. The Vanessa jacket an pants include D3O Diablo Level 2 armor in key impact zones. D30 armor is known for offering a high level of protection without the stiffness often associated with armored gear.

What stands out most is how flexible and low-profile the armor feels. It moves naturally with the body, making it easy to forget it’s even there while riding. The suit meets CE AA rating certification, reinforcing its focus on safety.

The women’s specific fit and flexible materials make the Vanessa jacket and pants a comfortable choice for everything from daily rides to longer adventures.

Built for Changing Weather

The Vanessa Jacket and pant are designed with real-world riding in mind. The waterproof layer is laminated to the outer shell and finished with taped seams. This laminated construction eliminates the need for a separate rain liner or jacket. The suit keeps water out while remaining breathable. Whether riding through unexpected rain or cooler morning temperatures, the Vanessa maintain a dry, comfortable internal climate.

Wind protection is equally effective. On faster roads or longer rides, the jacket blocks chill without feeling heavy. In warmer weather, zippered air vents allow increased airflow, helping regulate body temperature without removing layers.

The waterproof jacket and pants feature strategically placed zippered vents providing airflow when temperatures rise. Combined with the waterproofing, the vents add versatility for changing weather and season conditions. Zippered side gussets also provide additional fit tailoring to accommodate a wider range of body shapes.

Fit and Comfort

Comfort is where the Vanessa jacket and pants really shine. The fabric has a slight stretch, allowing for better mobility on the bike. That added flexibility makes a difference during longer rides, especially when shifting position or riding motorcycle with a longer reach to the handlebar.

The fit feels tailored without being restrictive, and comes in an impressively wide range of sizes. The Vanessa jacket ranges from XS to 7XL. The pants are come in size range 4 to 26 and are available in 3 different inseam lengths. (28”, 31”, 34”)

Style Meets Function

The Vanessa keeps styling clean and classic. The result is a jacket and pant combo that can work on many motorcycle styles and colors. We love a great looking riding suit that also compliments your motorcycle and personal style. Sometimes there is a tradeoff between style, protection, and comfort but the Vanessa wraps it all up in a versatile package.

The Vanessa suit offers a flattering, rider-focused fit in a wide range of sizes. The subtle but striking design elements flow stylishly from top to bottom.
