As with all protective clothing, women’s motorcycle leggings are tested against the CE standard of EN 17092:2020 (or the previous standard of EN 13595, which is valid until March 2023), which, if passed, will earn the item a rating between C and AAA. The higher the letter, the better the score, so look for the most ‘A’s on the label. Hip and knee armour is also subject to CE approval and is rated at either Level One or Two. It’s worth bearing in mind that not all women’s motorcycle leggings come with armour as standard, so there may be an additional cost Advanced Fibres Over the past couple of years, designers have caught on to this growing trend and subsequently produced women’s riding pants that actually provide the comfort, protection, and flattering fit that female riders have been searching for. You’d assume that anything this good must cost a fortune; but high-quality armored leggings are available in a price range that every rider can afford. If you’re dubious, I can’t blame you. Trust me when I say that armored leggings will surprise the hell out of any woman who has struggled to find gear in the past.

Jeans and Leggings are a good choice too, as they are not lined with a windproof liner, so you will get some airflow. For each grade, from A–AAA, trousers will undergo a more vigorous abrasion-resistance test at higher speeds and for longer.Although fully CE approved as motorcycle protective wear, they just look and feel like normal leggings.

AAA Grade: AAA grade is the highest certification and is mostly found on sports-riding clothing, where impacts are more likely, and at higher speeds. In terms of protection, motorcycle trousers are the same for men as women, and the levels of protection available are equal. CE Approval Super Leggings 2.0 are even better than the original Super Legging. They are higher waisted, even stretchier and use even softer materials for unbelievable comfort on and off the bike. Two types of protection are essential when it comes to trousers: the level of abrasion resistance and the protective armour used. Abrasion Resistance

Nothing against pink; I think it is just nice to have other options from time to time. Waterproofing Current ladies’ style and fashion trends have been thought about and have filtered down in the form of skinny riding jeans and leggings. Women’s motorcycle leggings come in a range of sizing, leg lengths and rises to cover different body shapes. Although many manufacturers run true to size, be prepared to be flexible for the best fit. This may be affected by the fitment of armour, which needs to sit snugly to do its job properly, but not so tight as to affect comfort and mobility. When looking at motorcycle clothing, the big factor is whether it is waterproof and whether I need it to be.

One thing to bear in mind, they aren’t waterproof, that said they don’t claim to be. I did get caught in a shower and they absorb water like a sponge. While not waterproof, they are comfy and slim enough to throw a waterproof layer over the top without too much trouble. You may be able to get more use out of them in cooler weather. However, textile clothing made of 600 Denier (super tough) polyester has also held its own in testing environments; some now argue that textile is actually more effective at resisting abrasion. The leggings have 2 layers of material, the inner layer is DuPont? Kevlar? and the outer layer is polyester woven with an abrasion resistant material for added strength. Fundamentally, what material wins in terms of protection is down to personal choice. They all do a pretty good job of abrasion resistance.ALSO NOTE THAT INTERNATIONAL DELIVERYS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TO MAINLAND DESTINATIONS (Surcharges may apply) Most leggings will be fully lined with some Kevlar or Aramid fibre which is another advantage over and above half-lined jeans. Key Differences for Women They are available in a huge range of sizes (6-22), three leg lengths and come with upgraded Level 2 CE knee armour. The market for women’s motorcycle gear has been growing steadily in recent years, giving female bikers a wider choice both in terms of fit and protection.
