Hey ladies, I know im not supposed to post in here but Im trying to find some better gear for my wife. She loves to ride but she is uncomfortable cause she hates her gloves and her boots. Heres the problem. She is 4' 11'' and not only did we have to lower her Gixxer 2 inches, but we can't find gear that works well for her. Any suggestions?

I am same height and the jacket that fit my short arm was that Joe Rocket's mesh honda one. Now I am using Scorpion Nikki which already discontinued. The sleeve is still long but I don't zip down the sleeve all the way. I cut about 1/4 inch on back protector on the top because the back was too long too.

I was in the process of ordering a custom jacket from AGV Sport, but they are taking long time to get back to me on the quote, so I am seriously considering ordering from portgear.com both jacket and pants. The short leg was a reason I never got any already made riding pants. my knees will not be where the pants' knees are

Hey Capt, I am very liking my leather jacket and if it is not way too hot to use it during summer, I might get rid of my textile. I have scorpion diamond in black and I had sleeve altered about inch or so. If I do not want to wear it, I will let you know. Maybe your wife can. It is practically brand new. it will be another month or so before I decide what to do though.
