Depends on what kind of riding you're doing. When I'm out for a ride, that is all I'm doing... riding my bikes. I don't use my bikes to go out shopping, to be 'seen' or any other BS people do with motorcycles. So when I ride, I prefer to wear purpose built 'full on' protective riding gear. If those who happen to see me riding in full gear want to think that I'm a 'wanna be' racer, so be it. I could care less what they think, as I'm not out to impress anyone. My riding gear has only one purpose, and that is to protect my hide as much as possible in the event of a crash.
The ladies got some really cool gear these days. As I browse for mens stuff, I always end of seeing some great stuff for the gals of motorsports. Companies have done a great job catering to the ladies.
While I appreciate more gear, I wish they'd expand the color options. A lot of stuff gets offered in only black, pink and white, and maybe a shade or two of purple. I don't want something that screams out "girly." I want rich reds, royal blues, bright yellow, etc., which is usually reserved for the guys.
We wont judge. All we care about is that a woman is on a motorcycle haha.
