How do you get the hat under your helmet? I rode through the valley yesterday – it was on Bayview mind you but a great part of the city none the less. I also did rush hour traffic on the DVP – such a joy. I’ll check out Danier, I really want something with armor in it, but what the hell they don’t just say ‘its worth the drive’ for nothing.
As for all the other great suggestions, this is what my research has turned up today.
I like the looks of the Dainese stuff the best however, according to their sizing chart I am:
Chest – M
Hips – XS
Waist – S
Height – off the chart, larger than the XXL
Inseam – off the chart, larger than the XXL
Sleeve length – off the chart, larger than the XXL
This is a bit of an odd combination that doesn’t exist in one single garment. Predictably, the Corazzo sizing chart is much the same. The scorpion stuff seems to be closer and they make a mens small that can be ordered in regular or TALL, there is less of a disparity in individual measurements in their chart. I called GP Bikes today and had a good chat with the friendly accessories department. They said that Joe Rocked made a ladies jacket in tall sizes last season, but has since discontinued it. On a up note they do have a ‘Diva’ line for all you plus sized women out there who I assume may have many of the same problems I have. The accessories associate also said that they have a Scorpion jacket in stock that is meant to be a 3/4 length affair and might not leave my backside exposed to traffic. I’m on a mission to try it on tomorrow.
