Which Womens Motorcycle Suit (choose which one)

CoderGal

I have my suit narrowed down to these 2. Which do you like better and why? Or which don't you like and why? Please vote on the suit and not the women or the lighting lol...just picture the same person in all of them. I'm getting the black version either way:
#1:

in white to see details better:


in orange 'cause there's not very many pics:


#2 (I'm getting the all black version, I've given a few different color versions of the suit tho to give you an idea of what it looks like):





Edit: I'll put it out there that it well be on this body:

They both seem very similar. #2

#2 seems more flattering, especially from behind, and is plainer. #1 looks a little futuristic to me.

the one where the butt looks like dittos. i'm still awaiting the return of the dittos and would jump at the chance to wear anything with that ditto's on the butt. i'd look silly in motorcycle gear at the PTA meetings though.

I'm going to have to say #1. Even in the all-black versions of each, there are lighter and darker tones of black. The first has the darker tones in a nice, slimming, pattern. It has a nice mix of the lighter and darker tones. It is more fitted, which also slims the body.

The reason why I wouldn't pick #2 is to me it is not very slimming. There is more lighter tone than dark. The whole torso is a lighter tone, which would make a person look kind of "boxy". To add to that effect, it looks like it has a looser "baggy" fit. The darker tones on the arms ar ok. But I have to giggle at where they started the dark tones on the crotch and also where they go down the legs. That being said, I'm sure it is a change of material like you see in horse riding breeches, but #1 does it so my more stylishly. To me #2 would make it appear that the wearer wet herself in a sitting position and it has run down her legs.

Those are my own personal opinions and I do not mean to offend anyone by sharing them.

The dark tones are a different material. They're stretch panels. And the shiny black in the first picture will eventually wear off (there's a coating on it at first).

wtf is a ditto...I kept reading that as uh...somethiing else lol

You definately know your personal taste as the two are very similar. I say number 1 because I'm not much into having emblems on my chest and don't care for the crotch pattern. I guess what I'm saying I think people will stare less directly at your crotch and chest if you go with number 1 in my opinion... lol. But maybe I'm the only one who's eyes were drawn there in the examples. :blushing: I LOVE the black on black look.

Whichever one provides the best protection and safety. If they're both exactly the same, #1.

I like the first one! The detailing on the legs is cool...the patterns are flattering too. Obviously whichever is higher safety rated is probably more important, but on looks alone I say #1!

njmp

Plus the V in the crotch on the second one looks weird, in my opinion...

CoderGal

#1 has a treated leather that is similar of kangaroo, which is more protective then cowhide. But there are more stretch panels. Dainese is known for this 'd-skin leather' material.

#2 is cowhide, but there are less stretch panels.

I took a fairly long slide on cowhide and they held up pretty well. Both of them are above and beyond what most women riders would wear. Both have hard armor except a back protector (but I have several to put in them). #1 has a arodynamic hump which is pretty much the distinguishing difference in the 2...other then the giant V on the crotch on #1 and the different crotch that apparently would get stared at more in #2 lol...See I keep on thinking that about #1.

CoderGal

I'll throw it out there again that the weird crotches are due to stretch panels that are almost necessary for flexibility for reaction time etc. It's not abnormal to see weird crotch shapes in bike pants. This is no sexy downtown party suit, it's fairly protective and I'm sure I'm not going to out sexy all the girls in shorts and tank tops when I'm strolling around in sweaty this lol.

The things I like about #1 is the material (rare in womens clothes) and the aerodynamic hump because I feel like a motoGP person haha.

The thing I like about #2 is its wearable in public, doesn't have a giant triangle underwear shape in the front, and doesn't have the aerodynamic hump to get in the way of a book bag (which isn't a big deal since #1 doesn't have a full size one)

For those wondering about what a aerodynamic hump is it's mostly useless for me. It's suppose to help with aerodynamics when at high speeds so being able to turn your head etc is easier but I'd say if you're going below 200km/hr there probably won't be much of a difference...especially since that is only half of one. The male suits sometimes come with water bladders inside...but alas I have boobs.

#1.

I like the looks of it better, the stretch panels will make it more comfortable and perhaps more breathable. And I don't care for the V in the crotch of #2.

It's all about how the fit - both how it fits your body and how it fits your personality!

Jennisin1

Number one looks like more protection

Both the shapes are similar if not identical (which I'm pretty sure they are, they just look different on different models)

The race hump may fool you, that's not protection, it's just for looks of a 'big shot' suit for the most part.

I say #1, but mostly because it reminds me of Commander Shepard's armor from Mass Effect and that's awesome.

filthyfit12

#1

cessnaholly

I like number 2 but personally I'd get the one with a better protection rating. Dress for the accident, right? Now about pictures of your bike?

deksgrl

I prefer #2.

Neither would be my own style, I'm more like the girl on the far right on the pic with the 4 women, but if you must wear one of those space suit thingies, wear #2.

Panna9406

the white one reminds me of the clones from star wars:P, definitely black one;)

I like both suits so I'm not much help there, but I think I've just found my new Ultimate Goal Reward! I have been wanting a motorcycle for a long time now and I really want to learn to ride!! I come from a riding family. I would love to go on long cruises with just me and the road!

Thanks for the inspiration!

AmyZ46

Which one feels better? Because if you take a long ride it really doesn't matter any more which one looks better ,you will want to be comfortable .

That being said , I like number 1

mrs_mab

Which ever one has the most body armor! Got to protect that bod! :bigsmile:

Which is exactly why both of those suits were chosen. They were the best protection I could find that were under 1500 bucks lol. This is much better then the stuff you would find in your local gear shop for women. Particularly since dainese is known for having about 80% increase in protection because of the treatment they put on their leather.

CoderGal

same hard armor right down to the aluminum shoulder inserts.

No idea, women here do not get the luxury of trying things on. In fact there is not one 2 piece suit I can order in this province. I am ordering online. With that benig said all their suits come with the same size charts and are similar makes.

They have the same protection and fit pretty much so yeah, it's boiling down to looks now

Comfortable depends on the weather in both of these 2. I can't find a preferated 2 piece suit in womens but both of these have ventilation, one is a little more so.

In that case like the first one :happy:

Basically this is the description minus one is not D-skin but the one that is not D-skin has more leather coverage of the body...so like I said it's a toss up for protection.
"Sports passion and assertiveness complemented by elevated protection and technical content distinguish this two-piece suit with an enviable quality that makes it a great ladies introduction to the Dainese world. Co-injected shoulders with titanium inserts, homologated protectors that apply technology derived from GP racing experience, and D-Skin leather with high abrasion resistance are only a few of the features vaunted by this two-piece suit. Remarkable comfort and freedom of movement during even the most competitive riding are ensured by the ample elasticated inserts, highly-resistant bi-axial elasticated S1 fabric, and the mesh liner"

Basically, I could take both these suits to the track and they'd let me in, also, both of them have 360 zips (the jacket zips to the pants so it cannot slide up if you go down).

#2 because I really don't like the aero humps on suits unless it's Valentino Rossi in it!
