Your motorcycle fashions may not be this extreme but if they are, get ready to stop traffic!
Womens motorcycling fashion has everyone looking at your bike, and you, in awe
Rain, hail, sun, wind, sleet, hail and snow are not the friends of bikers. When motorcycling, a woman wants to look great but also be spared from inclement weather. Women's biker fashions must be both functional and stylish.
Bikers do not wear
leather clothing simply because it is stylish, they wear it because it is
functional and serves a purpose. Leather provides protection from road debris,
the elements and will come in handy if you are separated from your bike. Sturdier than denim, leather protects
against bruises, road rash and other injuries that can occur if you contact with the pavement. Leather also keeps bikers warm because it
does a thorough job of blocking out the wind.
Leather jackets come in a variety of styles that are suitable for a biker. Some
are equipped with heavy duty zippers and sturdy from snaps. Some jackets
consist of a quilted inner lining that can be removed when it gets warmer.
Leather jackets can be free of detail or jazzed up with fringe or inlays. Leather motorcycling jackets for women are fitted and may have braided detail or lace-up sides, which
is really cool looking.
Get
yourself a pair of leather chaps. Yes, just like cowboys wear. If you ride a
motorcycle to work, you can put the chaps on over your work clothing, which
keeps them clean. When you arrive at work, remove your chaps and voila you are
ready for the office. Chaps will keep you warm on cold days and provide
protection from the elements. Besides, they look really radical.
Get
a pair of sunglasses specifically designed for bikers to wear while motorcycling. Your eyes need
protection from the sun as well as from the wind, rain and road debris.
Consider
purchasing a rain suit that can be stashed away in your saddle bag when you do not
need it. The pants and jacket should ideally zip together so you are fully
protected from the rain. Your rain suit should have reflective patches so that
you can be easily seen in rainy weather.
Protect
your boots and feet from the rain: Purchase boot rain covers that can be put in
your saddle bag when not needed.
Of course, you will want
to snag a quality pair of boots to wear while motorcycling. These
boots are cold-resistant, non-skid and often have double zippers and cushioned
insoles. Boots should be comfortable but also afford protection for your feet
while you are riding.
If you are a bit daring
(and what biker girl is not?) buy a leather halter top. This will stop traffic.
Leather halter tops often feature bead and bone closures and fringe detail. The
halter top ties in the back behind the neck. Do not forget the sunscreen
because your back and arms will be completely exposed to the sun.
You will require leather
gloves, to keep your hands warm and protect your digits from the elements.
A leather slant purse,
with built-in bottle holder and a strap that is adjustable, can be slung over
your back while riding. It is comfortable, functional and looks good as well.
Hair is an issue for
women bikers, regardless of whether they wear a helmet. Consider purchasing a domer,
which is ideal for covering long hair. It features an adjustable toggle in the
back so you can situate it to accommodate your particular motorcycling hair needs. The tube
domer is the best product for those bikers with long hair. Scarves can be worn
alone or under a helmet and should prevent helmet hair, which ultimately occurs
after the end of a ride.
