Women's leather jacket? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hey Gals!

Do you have any tips about a good leather jacket for driving? My Alpinestars Stella Dyno is still in very good shape, but it feels too big (I've lost some weight lately). I'm looking for a snug fit and bearable colors. A pink is a no-no. Any idea about a good make and model designed for women?

Thanks!

Okay Bren, I know I'm not a gal but I was looking on "ebay" for some ideas on a new leather jacket just to see what was cool looking( My textile jacket is great but the leather jackets have so much more style.) Anyway, as I was looking I saw a lot of nice womens jackets with armor by "Joe Rocket","Icon"and others that might be what your looking for.(NO PINK)Hope this helps.

I think I saw a shift jacket "girly" cut or it may have been icon, I don't remember witch but it was PINK!!!

Thanks guys! Interesting colours on those Icon jackets. The models looked good.

Too bad A-stars don't have right now what I'm looking for. It could be useful to have the ability to attach the pants to the jacket. I don't think the zippers match in different makes.

Here's one I like. If only those blue parts were darker.

I looked through a catalog I have and chaparral has some pretty good looking womens jackets Joe Rocket makes " gold digger jacket" its listed for $206.99
Power Trip has the "Stiletto jacket" $179.99
you said you already have an Alpinestars jacket but the "Stella 7-2 jacket" is $359.99
you can look online at Women's Street Apparel - Chaparral Motorsports

I did a lot of research on jackets before settling on the Teknic Violator. I wanted a perforated leather jacket with good, solid construction and good armor. The Violator is well-made, thick, and has Knox CE armor in all of the necessary places. Even the back pad is better than the foam plug most manufacturers stick in (although I always yank the built-in back protection in favor of my Dainese Wave). It's cool in warm weather, and thanks to the removable thermal liner that I keep stashed in my saddlebag, it's warm in cool weather.

Hubby has all blacl or black and red. I am not the matchy type soo. Soomething that says girl but not to girl and of course the most important is protection!
