Why you should not wear your boyfriend MC clothes

Why you should not wear your boyfriend MC clothes

Posted by Moto Lounge Marketing on

It can be expensive, hard to find, and it might seem easier to just borrow your boyfriend's, brother's, father's, or a friend's motorcycle gear. But! In this blog post, we explain why it's important to choose motorcycle gear that is specifically designed for women. Women and men have different body shapes, so gear designed for men rarely fits properly on a woman's body. If the gear doesn’t fit right, you risk it not protecting you as it should. Even though the gear is certified to provide maximum safety, it only meets that standard effectively if it fits your body. And then there’s comfort—imagine spending several hours on a motorcycle wearing gear that just doesn’t fit well. That can quickly turn a fun ride into a less enjoyable experience! So, even though it might be tempting to borrow motorcycle gear from one of your male acquaintances, let us give a few examples of why you should consider getting gear that is made for women:

 

Size differences. Men and women have different shapes and proportions, so not all male motorcycle gear will fit properly on a female body. Motorcycle gear for women is made with this in mind—focusing on fit, size, and comfort. You’ll often find that the gear is designed to accommodate things like the bust, thighs, and hips, which makes a huge difference when you're on the road. Gear made for men can often feel too loose on the shoulders, elbows, and knees, while possibly being uncomfortably tight in other areas. And there are actually many more size options available for women than for men—so you have a better chance of finding something that fits perfectly.

 

 

Protection in the right places. Besides finding the right size, it’s really important to think about your safety! Even if you find some men’s gear that fits well, it doesn’t always mean the protection is in the right place. Those impact protectors—you know, the ones at the shoulders, elbows, and knees—really need to be positioned precisely to protect you as best as possible. The gear also needs to fit tightly enough to keep them in place if an accident happens (dress for the slide, not the ride). If the protectors aren’t positioned correctly or are too loose, they unfortunately can’t do their job properly, increasing the risk of injury.

 

Comfort and mobility. Of course, comfort and mobility are super important too! Motorcycle gear designed for women is made to fit your body perfectly, so you can avoid clothing that’s either too tight or too loose. This means you can enjoy your motorcycle ride with maximum comfort and mobility, making your riding experience much better. When you can move freely without feeling restricted by your gear, it really makes a big difference—especially on longer rides.

 

Design and style. We all know how great it feels to be comfortable and look good while on the motorcycle. Besides all the practical reasons why you can’t just use your boyfriend’s motorcycle gear, design and style are also really important. Women’s gear is often made with a sharp eye for style, so you can feel both safe and look fantastic. When the gear does its job and looks great too, you get that extra confidence boost that makes the ride even more fun. It’s all about feeling comfortable, looking good, and enjoying every ride to the fullest!

 

When you choose motorcycle gear that is specifically designed for women, you get a fit that is both comfortable and safe. It really makes a difference on your rides. You can feel confident and comfortable, no matter how far you ride, because you know you are optimally protected and look good. So, the next time you hit the road, choose gear that’s made with you in mind—it makes all the difference 😉 🏍️.
