I like these because they're functional, but mostly because they're the only pants on the market with a 35" length. You can adjust them to 33" or 31", and they have a waterproof liner. The details make that a little unclear by calling them waterproof...the pants aren't but the zip out liner is.
I dinged them on comfort because they're cut for males as other reviewers have noted. When sitting, the front rides up and pulls in while the back gaps. If they changed that around, I'd give it a 5.

My fingers are too long for ladies gloves, so I buy M in mens -the body of the glove is a bit large, but much less so in this winter glove than any of the others I tried. My fingers & thumb fit, which otherwise I wouldn't be able to get my hand around the controls without strain & fatigue.
The glove itself is well made-you can tell they took time for the details. It looks safe & sturdy, and I can't pull it off when I use the velcro wrist wrap. I wouldn't use this in an extreme cold weather situation because air does come through a bit, but for the most rides, it keeps my hands protected and toasty. If it's above 65, I can't wear them, so during the change in seasons, I bring 2 sets of gloves with me.
It's a safe buy, good price, and a well made product that fits true to size.

I don't know what this is made of, but I use it on everything. Just spray and wipe. I even used it on my car's front lower bumper and it's easier to get the road tar off with just a spray.
I clean my visors and shields with a microfiber towel and don't see any of those little scratches anymore-it's good stuff.

This is a quality pair of pants with great features and a wonderful airflow. I live in the southern mountain area, so our temps can vary quite a bit through the day, but it can get HOT. These pants keep me on the bike. I wear light jogging shorts under them & that works well to keep everything cool. The pockets are wonderful! I can keep my phone and wallet in the front, and they go down far enough on my thighs to not restrict air or movement.
I use these for the summer, and then switch to my Joe Rocket Alter Ego 3 season pants for the rest of the year.
They don't have a liner ( I use over-the-pants rain gear for that), so they don't have an inner zipper to mess with. I was able to get the 34x34 mens and have the waist made smaller so that I could get the length I need. If you need to have your pants altered, these are easy.
I've used them for one season, put about 8K miles on them and they're still fresh as a daisy. I highly recommend these pants.

I love this jacket! I use it in the heat & humidity of the Georgia summer, and it works. The large size mesh lets more air in than the small mesh of most gear, so even when I'm sitting at a light or on a short stop, I don't have to worry about overheating.
I've worn it for a couple years, and have washed it at least 6 times - it looks the same as it did when it was new. I have a medium, and I'm 5'10", 135 & busty, and it fits me perfectly.
The adjustable straps in the back really let you shape it to your waist & hips, with zippers at each hip to make further adjustments based on your sitting position. It's long enough to cover the goods when you're in a tuck, and doesn't ride up because of the side bottom zips.
It has the 8" connection zipper in the back, and a seam sealed waterproof/windproof liner that zips in & out easily. The 3 zippered pockets offer plenty of room.
If you're looking for a stylish, safe 3 season jacket, you'll like this one. For those with really hot summer riding seasons, I think you'll find the amount of airflow to be more than average. I'd buy it again.

This jacket certainly has the style points on it's side, and it's well made. They don't skimp on the embellishments or quality of fabric & workmanship. The armor is well placed & feels solid. I also have the matching pants, and the outfit looks great together! I was worried it might look like a silly costume when I wore them together, but it doesn't - it works & looks stylish & classy.
Sizing is a bit of an issue as most reviewers have stated. I'm 5'10/135/busty, and because of the feedback & reviews, I rightly bought a Large. I can wear a medium shirt and in Joe Rocket jackets, I wear a Medium. Even though it has the side adjustments, they really don't let you adjust as much as you need to if you're trying to alter the shape to make more than a bit of a waist. It's tight in the chest and flattens me out. I find it a tad short in the sleeve length, but unless I'm wearing a Speed & Strength jacket, that's always the case. It works enough to make me happy, and I'm very glad I bought it.
(Tall gals: Speed & Strength jackets are the longest around, and Joe Rocket pants are all 35" long to start and then have adjustments to make them shorter)
It has an inner wind/rain liner that has color coded snaps in the sleeves so you don't have to wonder if you've got it twisted down the arm. The mesh is good quality and the wind flow is very nice.
Overall, this is a good quality, safe and stylish motorcycle jacket that is clearly made from the ground up for women. I'd buy it again.

These pants are a bit small in the rear section, so I had to send a pair back and get an 8. After using them for a week, I ordered another pair - they're good.
I normally take a 35-36 length, so I had to let them out at the bottom hem, but there was plenty of room. The color is more of a blackwash on an faded ink blue--it's nice and doesn't look like a cheap jean at all.
The waist goes down in the front and rises in the back, so it makes it easy to use them on the bike all day long without cutting into your waist or looking like you're going to pop out of them in the back.
Overall: Actions speak louder than words: I bought another pair. I like them, they're high quality, well made, constructed with features a lady biker can use to keep safe & stylish., and a great price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Do you have this jacket in the color Spring?
no, but the spring version is just like the black & white one with some flowers on it.

How do you adjust the pant length - e.g. 31", 33", 35"
My pant inseam is 28", so would definitely want the shortest length.
There is a series of snaps on the inside of the pants. You fold it up to the inside and snap it securely in place. This doesn't interfere with the safety features on the lower ends.

Icon Women's Sacred Low Boots The Sacred low boot is a culmination of our painstaking approach to minimalist motorcycling footwear. The reduction of elements until only the bare essentials remain. The flat bottom unit provide a stable platform when astride the bike, but incorporates a svelte silhouette for maximum impact when off. Top grain leather uppers are constructed with a minimum of pattern lines adding to both comfort and a visual elegance. The integrated alloy heel plate provides increased coverage while alerting casual observers to your two-wheeled predilection. The Icon Sacred Low Boot needs none but delivers all. 6 top grain leather upper Low profile Icon outsole Custom molded metal heel plate Axialmetric steel shank Molded rubber shifter nubs YKK autolock zippers
How is the ankle protection?
Does the Sacred low incorporate any ankle protection features? Love the visual appeal, but I'm buying a boot for protection, you know? :-)
It doesn't have anything special at the ankle...no cups. These have extra protection at the heel and then along the bottom. I love the look also, but can commiserate about the need for all the protection that's available.
Good luck!

Where do I measure for waistline since this is a lower rise jean? Shift Silhouette
Shift Silhouette.
Not sure which waistline measurement to use in size chart for a lower rise pant. Also wondering what the inseam is for this jean. Trying to figure if the knee guards will be in right place.

I normally wear a 6 long jean, and I first ordered these in that size, but had to return them for an 8 because of the tightness in the rear. I bought a second pair after I used them for a week, so I like them and do recommend them, but buy a size bigger than you normally do if you have any 'junk in the trunk' at all......I don't and they still were tight in my normal size, although the waist is more in line with normal.
They came in 33' and I was able to take the hem out and gain an extra inch in length so that they don't come up too far on my boots when I ride. They are tight in the rear, and are low in the front, higher in the back so when you lean it doesn't pinch your waist.

Do you have more specific measurements on the Shift Women's Silhouette Jean Pants?
Also, is the waistline a midline or a low rise?

Hello, I would like to know
Hello, I would like to know if the sizes 2,4,6,8,10,12 are in thumb(inch)?
Are they the waist measurement or the longeur of the leg?
sorry for english im a french people !

No, the sizes are pretty random - they don't go along with inches like clothes that are measured in centimeters. When you have a size like the ones you're describing, they don't refer to the waist or the leg length.

Can I wear the Joe Rocket Women's Luna 2.0 Jacket with these pants?
In other words, will I be able to zip the jacket to the top of the pants?
They don't have that 8" zipper that fits with the Joe Rocket jackets, but there is an extra loop that you can snap onto a jacket loop. I also think that the Luna has 2 front belt attachments in the front.
