New gear coming my way!

Darling Ninja · September 23rd, 2010, 11:20 AM

I ordered these items. I'm really petite, so I'm hoping that everything fits me well. I know that it's a good idea to try the stuff on at the stores first, and then order online (for better price). But, I didn't do that. However, from what I have read about Alpinestars, it's a slimmer fit for women. That would be a big improvement from the bulky Tourmaster jacket I currently own.

I need new gloves, because the ones I had now have a hole from my crash.

Anyone own either of these?

What is the model# of the gloves? I just got a pair of leather a* gloves as well and they are bomb ass gloves. Fit perfect, tons of protection, comfortable and they look sweet as hell.

Sorry, forgot to include the model names.

Alpinestars Women’s Stella 7-10 WP Jacket (black/blue) small.
Alpinestars Women’s Stella Tyla Gloves (black) XS.

Nice gloves and big props for getting full cuff ones. The precurved fingers on the A*'s are sweet. Those gloves will do you great for street and cursing around.

Jacket looks short in the pic so make sure and use beltloops/snaps to keep it in place and not ride up.

I find it strange that on most mens jacked they tend to have a padded flap that comes down over the lower back yet the womans jackets seem to be missing this.

Nice gear. I didn't have much luck with Alpinestars gloves (I just find other brands fit my hands better) but those look great.

Looks great. Be sure to post pics of you in the gear on your bike in the thread "Women on bikes rock..."

Will do!

The jacket looks retro to me, I really like that. I've worn Alpinestars gloves before, so I know there's a good chance the fit will be good with these. But, I've never worn full length gloves. I'm pretty excited!

I didn't think about the length of the jacket. I've seen other women riding with their jackets riding up, exposing their lower back. I don't want that to be me!

I don't have either of those items, but I have a few jackets and pants for sale. I'm pretty petite as well, so if you don't have any luck with what you're looking for, you should check em out.

They look great! I've had no problems with anything A-star.

You are going to fall in love with the full length gloves! You will never want to wear short cuffs again. Yours are very similar to mine and i freaking love mine.
