Title: Gear for a Petite Passenger
Post by: NAKID on February 02, 2014, 11:11:31 PM
So, my fiance would like to ride with me, but we are having a bit of a hard time finding gear to fit her. She's 5'0", 105, 32-34 bust, 24-25 waist, 35-36 hips. Any ideas?

Has she seen you ride? [cheeky]

Ping the monsterparts girl. She should be able to answer questions about womens gear.

From what I've seen and heard, Revit and Dianese are the brands to look at.

I like my Revit gear. Good quality and not crazy expensive like Dianese.

Just picked up an AlpineStars Stella jacket. Pretty close to this:

I think it might have been last year's model. Mine is black with white piping. Can't do pink without throwing up in my mouth a bit... But the jacket is awesome.  I've been looking for awhile and borrowing a girlfriend's JoeRocket jacket in the meantime.  She's a wee bit tinier than me and though the jacket fit, it just wasn't quite right. I like the Joe Rocket quality but when I found and tried on the Alpine Stars one, well, it was over. When I lowsided in December I hadn't gotten a jacket with pads yet and severely regretted that decision.   Also recently got some Sedici boots, these:

and it's been a good relationship so far.  Word to the wise, they run VERY large. I usually wear a US 7.5 and had to buy a US 5 in these. I am a little bit taller and bustier than your lady but just thought I'd throw in some input from someone who's not especially girly. Good luck and have fun hunting.

Any Italian brand will fit more petite frames but goodness its pricey. Dainese fits well and the Ducati brand gear fits GREAT. A* runs very large and everything else I've tried seems to just be fit for men.
I'm 5'3, 34-25-34, 125 lbs of pure muscle (eh hem)

Go buy it, scare her, and then post it here for sale so I can buy it from you used, please  ;D

ps. cant recommend the Sidi Jasmine boots enough for lady paws comfort

Thanks, I'll look into those. Problem is, I just need to find a place near me that sells them so we can go try stuff on. Buying online with her is not typically an option. Don't even get me started on jeans...

I am about that same size, aside from being 5'3. I have a Dainese jacket in 42. It's perfect with a hoodie under. When I wore just the jacket it felt rather loose.
I think we're going to get set up with Rev'it, so I will let you know how their stuff fits.

My first jacket was a Scorpion one. Actually that one was really nice as it hugged for the curves, it was small in the waist which was nice.
