Large size jackets
by: Diane M.

I also am a big woman at 5'10" where half of my body length is legs. After trying on my hubby's motorcycle jacket,I found it manufactured for a man and was NOT attractive. Last year I attended a motorcycle gathering (honda hoot)and actually tried on my current 3 season jacket - a MeshTech type for FirstGear. Although I was initially taken aback by the size required (2XL), it fits like a glove and I love it! I just spent the last weekend taking two day trips through the mountains of Virgina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland. I have washed my my jacket several times (after taking the armor out) and it always comes out great. Hope your situation improves! Diane

Plus Jackets
by: Jessica

Well Gina,
My name is Jessica and I am one of two founders of a small business here in California that is making stylish, plus-sized armored motorcycle jackets for women! We are called Nelson Rides and hope to have our first jackets ready for sale in a month or two. My website is very outdated and a new one is going up next month, but go to www.nelsonrides.com or email me: jessywoman@gmail.com and put your order in!
