Hey all!

I am taking my class 6 intro course in May, and I recently bought my boots they require, and I am looking into getting a textile jacket.

My problem is, the women's xl ICON jackets fit too small around the bust.....

I tried on a men's ICON xl jacket, and it does up the whole way comfortably but there is little to no room for the girls because of the way the breast plates are placed for men...same thing with the alpinestars line it seems


Has anyone had any personal experience with a textile jacket that fits looser around the torso? Or any females found a jacket that fits slightly looser?

check into alpinestars womens line, icons should be alright, go for a bigger size if the tits dont fit right, go for the xxl

Go with a Dainese women's textile, more $ but worth every penny.

Amy K. Shes a mod there, she usually posts in the racing section.
or just ask this question, there. Black Widow, Redhead, Bombshell, Amy K, Chewice are all female riders/racers.
