Gear Store Recommendation Request

[DUCGAL]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a place where I can buy women's gear at a fair price in Northern Virginia? Specifically a textile style jacket.

Thanks!

IIRC, Coleman's in Falls Church has a decent selection of women's gear.  The one in Hoodbridge seemed to have more manufacturer specific gear.  When you go there, ask for Andrew Blair and tell him Emily, aka Ducatista, says hi.  He'll give you the rundown on gear and help you get fitted properly!

Hi Emily,

It's Kimberly. Thanks for responding.

Have a GREAT holiday weekend!

FC seems to have the biggest selection from what I've seen, but maybe a little time on phone might save you a lot of driving.  Some of the shops like Battleys etc might have some good selections.

Of course, there's always online.  NewEnough.com and KneeDraggers.com have good selections, good prices and good customer service.

I generally go to Coleman's in FC, see what they have to try on and then buy on-line.  I understand that if everybody did that, Coleman's might go out of business.  As far as I am concerned, that would simply be an added bonus on top of the money I already would have saved.  I like supporting local bricks and mortar establishments, but they still have to earn my business. 

On-line I have used motorcycle-superstore.com, newenough.com and mawonline.com.  All have given me satisfactory results.

Last time I went to Colemans in FC, I stopped and drooled over a couple bikes then headed to the gear section.  I was back there for a good 1/2 hour, not one: "hello, may I help you, let me know if I have any questions" etc.  Ill usually step up but this was a test to see if the previous time was just a fluke.... They need a kick in the customer service ass!

I had a credit card rearing to go, I wanted a textile or perf jacket and maybe pants.  i turned around and walked out with nada.

Yuu, still got that Cortech shizzle?
