    Where's the best place to buy ladies biker gear? We were in bike world today and they had an ok selection but could anyone recommend any where else?

    They probably have the best selection but are a bit pricey. Ya could try cotters too.

    I went into cotters last summer with the GF to get pants and a jacket.
    We must of been in there about 2 hours but she eventually got sorted.

    I buy online, the selection of ladies gear is crap in most bike shops. I've also noticed that for some bizarre reason the level of protection in a ladies jacket and a mens jacket varies greatly even if they are both by the same brand, in the same price range etc. Ladies gear sometimes has less protection for some reason.

    I think online will be the way to go. A LS2 helmet in Bikeworld with a purple butterfly pattern is €165, including postage from Amazon is €75. She's tried it on and we know it fits so there shouldn't be a problem.

    Now just to find the rest. What sites would you recommend?

    sportsbikeshop.co.uk & helmetcity.co.uk - I've bought a good bit from both sites.
    Both have a huge range to suit most budgets.

    I find Richa ladies gear is more accommodating to the female shape, mens jackets in particular can be quite restricting in the upper body and hip area. Alpinestars is one brand in particular that I've noticed do not provide the same protection in ladies and mens gear at the same price.
