For generations, the image of bikers in black leather jackets and blue jeans has been a (somewhat accurate) stereotype of motorcycle fashion. Riders and non-riders alike donned this gear to portray this lone individualist image. In fact, the riding gear I wore during my first, formative motorcycle trip as a newly-minted rider was a black leather jacket and blue jeans.

UPDATE 2/7/2023: We’ve since published a huge three-part motorcycle denim buyer’s guide that features 34 different pairs of denim, with selections for both men and women. Some of them are featured in the story below, but you can see them all by clicking over to the Buyer’s Guide.

We thought we’d take the time to look at some riding gear specifically designed for those who now make up a growing 19% of the motorcycle market in the United States. Whether the woman in your life is either a rider or a passenger – or perhaps the woman in your life is you – quality motorcycle gear is essential to a pleasurable and safe riding experience. The good news about this guide is that most of the gear is discounted from 10% up to 65% off its retail price, based on the current status of the sale page.

Today, just about every motorcycle gear manufacturer has their own riding jeans with many offering varied levels of protection. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the riding jean reviews we’ve done in the last year or so:
