I just want to be as safe as possible and I cannot find adventure riding pants to fit my wife that aren't black. We ride in the heat a lot and black has been a killer. I am sure I cannot be the first to have trouble. Oddly enough the Fly Racing Street Butane Women's Overpants in xtra large fit her( but they are only in black). but the 2x in Sedici Alexi 2 Mesh Women's Pant will not. any advice on where to look? I am about to give up.
thanks

Generally I would look at Rukka - known and highly rated providers of adventure touring gear, come in men and women's cut, and in large sizes.

FC-Moto.de has a great filtering system, start here: https://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf...proof+Membrane

Specifically the Modeka Belastar women's pants come in light grey or white, and seem to have big sizes available. I've used Modeka gear and it's good stuff, high value for money, if not on the same level as Dainese or such.

On the US market side: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...ku_id=10022939
I own a pair of Revit Philly riding jeans and they've been great.

MODEKA you will find here:
https://modeka.de/en/
https://modeka.de/de/produkte/women/...touring/hosen/

Its a good value for the money and they have interesting stuff for girls too.
But I don't know if you can find this brand in the US.

looks great but no shipping to usa?

@size: Usually i have XL and from Modeka i have XXL, because of the removable winter lining.
But they will advice you on the phone or email.

Damen = woman

@shipping

No idea, if they ship to the USA. (I don`t work at this company)


I contacted the company by e-mail a couple of years ago.
The support was verry friendly and helpful. My feeling was like running by a family driven company.


Maybe you can ask by mail?

(many companies in german are speaking english - so don't worry)

How about going down a completely different route?

For my next long trip I am considering going back to something similar to what I was using way back when - namely riding jeans. I got the first one that was introduced in the market - shapeless pants with very hot kevlar all around, and protector inserts that were finicky to put in and take out, that were uncomfortable and never stayed in place, etc - but still pretty practical and comfortable under many conditions (and uncomfortable in others). But things have come a long way since then.

Rokkertech (rokker) riding jeans are single layer. They look and feel exactly like regular jeans, but are stronger than both leather and cordura - and every inch of the pant is made of this stuff.

Rather than using the insert protectors, I use external knee and shine protectors that go on the outside of the pant and inside the boot. Not only does this provide superior knee and leg protection compared to pads, but it also means they can be quickly removed kerb side, without having to pull down one's pants. Further, I can sit on my knees and work on my bike without getting my pants dirty. The external protectors are also far more comfortable, and they stay in place.

I opted not to go for a waterproof pant, but carry a rain pant I can easily slip on and off for those wet or cold days.

I've opted not to use the hip protector inserts. On rides where I feel I need the additional protection, I use an MX mesh short that go over my underpants. Not only does it provide a more comfortable and secure fit for the protectors, but it also provides a tail bone protection in addition to superior hip protection.

It is extremely convenient being able to stroll around in the world, and eat at restaurants - in the same gear you ride in.

If she fits into typical make or female jean models, then this might be a solution for her?
