Ladies Track Leathers
 
I know some of you ladies are track junkies, I'm working on it but I need to purchase a suit that is track specific- i.e. knee pucks, more armor, reinforced stitching, etc.

I have been looking at the A* Stella, and a few others, but am looking for recommendations from some ladies with experience in the matter!!

Please input!!

Sorry, I haven't purchased track leathers yet, BUT, two good ones to look for:

The new Teknic Ladies "Viper" 1 piece looks awesome. I got to pet it-touch it-feel it in Daytona and I was very impressed. It's around $700.

Also, I've heard great things the Dainese Yu Lady (though I don't recall if it has pucks). It's around $1200.

And since you're in FL, Syed down in Orlando does fully custom 1 piece leathers starting around $1200.

I would PM Accaliste over on :twf: - I know she posted on the local board that she just GOT some new leathers, and is also selling her A* "Julie" leathers. As much track time as she has under her belt, I'd bet she could tell you a lot.

Killgurl has to replace her leathers she tore up a few weeks ago, she is getting the teknic viper suit.

I can't fit in any women specific... I'm too tall. The thing to keep in mind is the inseam to the knee. On a typical women's suit - the inseam to the knee is about 15inches. That is where the knee armor resides - and in most cases has shin armor right under it. My inseam to the knee is 18inches which would mean the shin armor would be on my kneecap.

Dainese fits me well enough to buy, then have it taylored. But, at that point you might as well call Syed and have a custom fit.

Another option G-Line from Gericke... http://www.femmoto.com/femmotosuitspecs.html

oooo, that viper suit is SWEET!!!

I LOVE the Lady Yu, but at this point in time $1200 is a lil too pricey for me...

Thanks for the input, I am going to keep my eyes open, maybe I can find a decent deal on one of these suits before April...

Nee, i think theres a ladies only track day at Jennings April 19th, you gonna be there?

3.5 hours versus how many more to Nash??? Goober! I'd love to make it, but I got to be choosy considering my time constraints and stuff...

:sulk: I wish, but it's just not in the cards this year. We've got a statewide meet/ride the weekend before that, then in May we've got another big group trip/event. :no:
