I opted for one size larger than I normally wear and they fit perfectly after two rides. The stitching on this glove is not top notch but does not interfere with the technical aspects. The airflow is improved with fingers extended over the levers. I have ridden in 85 degree weather and my hands have neither sweat or felt too warm. This is a great summer gauntlet style glove at a reasonable price.

Dainese Women's Spartan 66 Leather Pants Dainese has taken the protective aspects of leather and combined them with the comfort of fabric in the Spartan66. Innovative and patented 2skin technology is used in construction to bring the biaxial elastic properties of S1 fabric to the mechanical qualities of the leather, to which it is laminated at the points that require greater strength. This also permits extreme mobility and peerless ergonomics for the best adaptation to different body forms. Protection Pro Shape soft protectors certified to Standard EN 1621.1/97 Ergonomics and Comfort Cowhide leather S1 fabric Microelastic elasticated inserts Inserts in elasticated fabric Double calf zip Jacket-trousers fastening system Sanitized lining Other Reflective inserts 2 pockets

I am 5' 3" with a 32" waist. I ordered a size 50 but returned them because they were too long and too big all the way around. The 48 fits perfect and there is just enough room for long underwear if needed. I found the Dainese size chart difficult to convert to standard women's clothing sizes and erred the first time by ordering too large. The description of the pants is accurate and I am very happy with them. The only two improvements would be hip protection and adjustable height knee protection. The knee area is a bit tight at first but after a few rides it stretches and is very comfortable. The pants do not have any perforation so I found them too hot when riding above 75-80 degrees. Conversely they are warm at 55 degrees with thin tights underneath. I did not feel any cold air or cold spots. I would definitely give these a try if you are on a budget but want a good solid pair of leather pants.

First of all the fit is perfect for a woman with a wide foot. The nice thing about the toe box is the vertical space is not that roomy so you can maintain good control over shifting and braking. I have worn them to do walking errands to help with the break-in process and they were comfortable from the get-go. I chose the white accent because I am not a pink kind of person and I am glad I did. The calf adjustment is totally sweet...just set the dial and it fits every time. You can crank it tighter if you want to wear a particular pair of pants on the outside of the boot. I was happy with the height of the heel. I am 5'3" and have no problem reaching the ground on my sport bike. Overall the Lei is a fantastic boot for the price.

What size should I order if measurements are: 86 cm waist and 76.5 cm inseam? I am concerned because most people say that re'vit runs small.
Does that mean I should go by the sizing chart or order 1 size larger than the chart indicates? Thank you.
