Title: Any tall women know where to find gear? Post by: pipeliner1978 on September 25, 2008, 06:04:20 PM Looking for help in finding my wife a leather suit for the track......
She's 5' 9" tall and about 130 -135 lbs size 6 comfortably and a 4 in some sizes. She is having issues finding womens gear to be long enough that doesn't hang off of her. She seems better off in mens sizes. Wondering if anyone has any info..... Thanks, Tommy Title: Re: Any tall women know where to find gear?

I have yet to find anything or any brand that fits decently off the rack without alteration. Dainese comes the closet but is still too short. The choices are ill-fitting off the rack women's, burlap sack style men's, or custom made. Off the top of my head Vanson, Z-leathers, and Kushitani do custom. I have heard Dainese will too, but costs an arm and a leg and takes forever to get them. Title: Re: Any tall women know where to find gear?

Regarding the gear issue, I found BMW armored pants that fit really well but they were pricey, with a capitol P. +1, but they come with a warranty on the armor and zippers, stay dry, and last a long time. If you craft a Google well you'll find that some of the women's BMW wear is on sale, particularly the discontinued lines. Title: Re: Any tall women know where to find gear?
