motorcycle pants

I'm having a hard time find any pants with armour that is comfortable. I'm looking for all season pants that are cut a little lower in the front, I'm 5'3 but most of my height is in my legs so I'm short waisted and all of the ones I've tried so far fit fine with plenty of room except when I sit, then they come up under my rib cage and are very uncomfortable, do you have any suggestions?

Motorcycle pants
by: Gina

I'm about your height with long legs (31" inseam) and I've always had to buy men's riding pants. My current pair are the Technik Chicane pants. They are waterpoof, not as "breathable" in really hot weather, and I wear them through all three riding seasons. They're officially overpants, but I've worn them with just a lightweight wicking liner underneath since they're not too baggy. They come with knee armor and hip pads. Good luck!

Armour
by: Lynette

http://www.underarmour.com Here is a webpage. Its underarmour. They might have clothes. I read Women Riders Now online and Genevieve (the founder of Women Riders Now) did an article on this line. I've never tried it. Hope it helps.

Joe Rocket Ballistic 5.0
by: Cathy G

I am 5'2" and just generally small all over (115 pounds)and I've had trouble finding pants, too. I finally tried on the Joe Rocket Ballistic 5.0 pants and I've been so happy with them. They have a nice style to them and they don't ride up my stomach at all. Likewise, they don't leave my lower back exposed like some low rider pants. I bought the extra small (XS) and I've had no problem wearing them with jeans or other pants underneath. Some reviews have mentioned them being very hot and I do notice they are pretty warm but I wore them in 90 degrees in Virginia and did just fine. They're GREAT for cold days. They have zippers that run up the length of the leg so they're easy to get in/out of with boots on. I just love these pants- they're comfortable, not bulky, provide good protection with knee armor, and they have style but they're not too girly- they're.... tom girly I guess. I hope this helps!

Yes, I have a suggestion . . .
by: Jacee

Buy men's pants. I bought men's leather pants (Joe Rocket) and also a pair of Draggin jeans in men's size. They are cut lower and fit me a lot better. I also like that men's pants come in waist, and usually length, sizes - makes it easier to determine what size you wear. Why can't women's pants be labeled like that??
