Which Womens Motorcycle Suit (choose which one)

It's discontinued. They only have whatevers left, nothing in my size, I was talking to them already.
I KNOW! And why can't it be just as thick? And water proof? The vika commercial for the 2cm wide leather less the 1mm thick with mostly stretch panels sickens me. Especially when she's wobbling that triumph like mad even with both feet (in heals of course) on the ground. We're only suppose to sit on the back and look cute and you're suppose to be a good enough driver to avoid putting us on the road, didn't you know? *huff*. The current jacket was the thickest most versatiile jacket I've found and the expired it. And dainese stopped making the SF pant. I called up a few shops and they're not carrying my size and cannot order a new one...So alas, we still have me, shelling out a bunch of dough with no functionality in the gear I want made for short hobbits trying to storm trouper it up lol.
The link you gave was of a mens jacket.
They only have perforation on the mens. See the comments "The pants do not have any perforation ".How about this?

You don't get the racy look (no knee pucks or anything) BUT you do get one thing the others don't have: PERFORATION. And perforation on leather is priceless.
Was referring more toward the jacket, which is the only women's perf jacket Dainese makes from what I see.
Sorry, came up in the search for women's. Hmmm...
Well there's the SF you already know about http://www.revzilla.com/product/dainese-womens-sf-leather-jacket but it's only got the bubble liner, not a replacement for perf. Crap, why can't women's gear have perf?
Revzilla has the SF pant in stock still. But non perf. For me it would be a dealbreaker but how important is perf to you?

Well, I'd love if I could say it's a deal breaker, but I've seriously run into 0 things with perf. So unless I want to ride nekki what choice do I have?
Make no wonder women I see don't wear gear?0 -
I cannot try them on, Dainese isn't available in my province, and womens gear in general isn't available to try on in the province period anyway. Only mens. They do carry alpinestars but apparently if I wanted to order a pair to try on I would have to buy them and would not be able to return them. Unfortunately finding comfort isn't exactly a feasible option.Have you tried both of them on?
The second one looks cuter, but you gotta go with whichever is most comfortable. Also, as a rider myself, I don't recommend black. Black looks all cool and stuff, but it is really hard to see on the road and it is really hot.
Also, which suit has more vents?
I hate getting stuck at red lights in the sun and just baking in my gear. My jacket has vents that help when I'm going 40mph or faster, but when I stop, it swelters.
I don't recommend black either. I'd love something in green. I hate red. And I refuse to buy something that has a white *kitten* (if it was mostly white and had a black bum like the stripes one I'd get that, but unfortunately all of the things I have found is discontinued, feel free to find me something in a color that's not red or white in the bum.
None of the suits have vents. In fact the only suits I've found with vents are the rev'it which are 27 inch inseam. They come in long, but not in my size. I'm a 33 inch inseam. They wouldn't make it down to my boot, so that isn't an option. There is a Dainese racer jacket I could get that would zip to discontinued SF pants if I could find them...but the racer jacket fits baggy and I'd rather something fitted (particularly since my jacket road up over my back in my slide). Like I said, the best venting I've found is in the jacket I currently have, which is discontinued and has holes in it. It also doesn't zip to any pants and the seams are mostly grinded down and sowing a zipper in would be sketchy (not to mention the lack of leather workers here). I now want something that zips into pants, and I'm a tall women, which means there's nothing I can get with vents.
It F^ing sucks being a girl. Particularly a skinny tall one.0 -
Talking about nut shots...
I typically ride sport cruisers (favorite bike was FZ1)
I borrowed a friends SV1000 once and have been on inlines my whole life. I dropped two gears on that SV back end slid out and I nut checked his tank. I swear it dented the tank or at least it felt like it. I had a tears welling up and thought I was gonna be sterile. Talk about pain!
I worked in a motorcycle shop for a while and rode a ton of bikes. I don't understand why people get sportbikes. They hurt so much after riding for an entire day. I've had monkey butt and had it where my forearms felt like they were getting shin splints.0 -

I had monkey butt explained to me the other day...girls do not get monkey butt. Thank God for a unhairy *kitten*.
I understannd why people get sportbikes, they're so comfortable. I hate sitting on a cruiser and feeling every bump go up my entire spine. I'd rather straddle something like a bf. I've been on 4 hr rides and it hasn't bothered me a bit. And I know people who have gotten saddle sores in less time from their touring bikes.0 -
Biker opinion. I like the look of 1 as a biker. Plenty of stretch panels which is good also slightly less sweaty. Take it they are both full zip attatchment (if it don't go all the way round you can't wear it for track days). Dainese is a good brand so good either way, neither is a bad choice. Often I end up buying small in mens for a bit more choice but I have the advantage of being short so small is not too short generally.
Only things to watch is if you are 2 different sizes your zips will have to be altered as they won't match up - disadvantage of mens - there is no hips built in to them.
Also - not sure because I have never had one but would the hump make you hot?0 -
If its a suit you're buying there's no option of getting different size top or bottom. Realistically I'd need a smaller top. Only a size down tho so it wouldn't sit to **** eyed.Biker opinion.

I wouldn't say the hump would make you any hotter then a back protector, and this isn't a full one either. And I fully intend to get a back protector into it even if it means shaving down one of my old ones0 -
Id say go with the orange one. You will look like Luke Skywalker when he destroyed the Death Star.
And we know how fast the X-wing fighters were.0 -
I wish, unfortunately the orange is discontinued. I love orange.Id say go with the orange one. You will look like Luke Skywalker when he destroyed the Death Star.

Oh, I have a 2 piece race leather set that the bottoms zip to the top. As I said it is a mens (cheaper and more choice) so the pants have no room for hips and I went 1 size up on the bottom to top. So I had to get the zip altered so they are a matching pair.0

I tried on the smallest Dainese mens SF pant they had and it was ginormous on my legs and waistOh, I have a 2 piece race leather set that the bottoms zip to the top.

I also thought about purchasing a small joe rocket but turns out the waist is 42 inches (Mine is 25).
There's one leather worker I've found who seems to have broken moms purse...I do not trust them with suits lol.0 -
Wow yeah I got like a 34 and a 32 or something but if your leather worker broke a purse I would not be trusting him with protective (and expensive) leather0

Thanks, I love it to pieces. If I could find it again I'd buy it (thee inside is worn through from sliding inside out on the highway, the liner is ripped apart and there's holes in the elbows as well as other places). It's over a mm thick, it has a fully remoavable liner and can zip to a vented panel and has vents in the arms and back...and has a back protector. Can't find that in anything now.Hmmm, #2 I think - I know you like the black, but the #1 in white looks great...
Love your current jacket btw!
Damn, was going to ask where it came from...I'm upgrading to leather as soon as I can find something I like 0 -
There are similar ones that just recently discontinued. There are still sizes left:

but what's up with the gigantic underwear shaped triangle in the front?
hehehehehehe
Great choice!0 -
^Gah
Like I said, it's not that I was opposed to this suit, I just tend to argue whatever side people are for in hopes to see if people have more to say. Also, the outside of the triangle is great. My crotch is nice and windy and ventilated 0 -
IN for ventilated crotches!0

YES, a definite must while riding!!0 -
There's nothing more free feeling then the wind at your crotch in public.IN for ventilated crotches! 0 -
Also, what is wrong with waterproof bike pants that no matter how much they cost and how waterproof they are everywhere else they always let water at the crotch? What is that about. In no way shape or form is my riding enhanced by the feeling of having wet my knickers!0

The leather is too stiff to allow for the kind of mobility needed at the joints, so instead of leather at the crotch and underarms they use a nylon or kevlar-based elastic fabric for mobility. It also allows air to flow freely through for ventilation purposes.0 -

I know! I've owned two pairs of waterproof motorcycle overpants and with both of them after riding in the rain I was totally dry--except for a spot on the crotch that made it looked like I wet my pants. WTF.0 -

Donno what your problems are, my waterproof pants were waterproof until I turned them into chaps. Maybe they think you dudes need it to solve your monkey butt problems ahhhahaAlso, what is wrong with waterproof bike pants that no matter how much they cost and how waterproof they are everywhere else they always let water at the crotch?

I'm a girl! I did not think we got monkey butt!
Maybe it is living in the uk - nothing can withstand the rain my all weather gear is subjected to. I could get an all in one over the top wet suit but that is just such a 'mare when we have warm muggy weather and you get all sweaty underneath.
Loving the new suit btw - looking great in the pics0 -
Believe me I understand. I live in Newfoundland, it rains sideways, and it rains heavy. It's not surprising a quick google returned this:I'm a girl! I did not think we got monkey butt!

I had the Scorpion Savannah pants, which I don't recommend due to this:
But they were very comfortable in the rain before I made chaps of them.0
