Female riders have routinely been forced to make compromises in safety, comfort, and style, but change is in the air! Gear companies have finally started to appreciate the rapidly growing demographic of female riders as well as their unique needs, signaling the beginning of a long overdue renaissance in the motorcycle gear industry. Where some of the major players have been slow to embrace women’s gear, emerging companies are starting to come up with great innovations and better solutions to the challenges of making women’s gear that lives up to our standards.

There are several types of armour available on the market, and some are not much better than a piece of foam, whereas others are extremely good at protecting you in an accident. P.S. Gogo Gear also makes a men’s version of the legging that’s designed to be worn as a base layer. Textile clothing is the only option for waterproof gear (other than a set of waterproofs thrown over your clothing). They look stylish both on and off the bike and can be worn with either short baseball style riding boots or touring boots. They’ve been through the wash a few times and they haven’t lost shape or colour. Be warned that some clothing will come with ‘armour’, but it is actually just a piece of cheap foam and serves no protective purpose.Fundamentally, what material wins in terms of protection is down to personal choice. They all do a pretty good job of abrasion resistance. You should never have to compromise style for protection. That’s why we have developed our innovative, fully lined, women's Kevlar® motorcycle leggings with stretch.

The leggings have 2 layers of material, the inner layer is DuPont? Kevlar? and the outer layer is polyester woven with an abrasion resistant material for added strength. AAA Grade: AAA grade is the highest certification and is mostly found on sports-riding clothing, where impacts are more likely, and at higher speeds. The stretchy material allows for free movement, and it is quite easy to forget that they are protective clothing. One thing to bear in mind, they aren’t waterproof, that said they don’t claim to be. I did get caught in a shower and they absorb water like a sponge. Nothing against pink; I think it is just nice to have other options from time to time.
