where do I find low-rise leather pants?

looking into buying some leathers, but the regular fit leather pants look like crap. I know I know, fashion isnt everything ( I always wear my gear), but like to look nice too

Have you tried places at the mall? If you are talking proper riding gear... I'm not sure it can be both. Icon or Power Trip might be your best bets.

Check out this site, it may help you out. Check this out Blondie (http://www.ridegear.com/rg/cat/Street_Pants.html)

The only thing with low-rise is that it leaves the lower back exposed. One time I rode in low-rise jeans and my A* jacket and I had a 2" area across my lower back with a bad sunburn - I could only imagine if I had gone down.

wow, nice mental picture :drool: lol. :wink:

I'm with Pippi on that one, if you butt/lower back aint covered, literally, you run the risk of serious rash if you go down... that said, the the best pants I have seen that are remotely fashionable are the Joe Rocket Trixie and the Icon Bombshell...I have the trixie's and they are higher than I wear my jeans typically but are much lower than the other riding pants I have seen out there that look like 80's style under your armpits high :lol: I should be getting the Icon Bombshell pants this week and will be able to tell you about those later!!!

:nopicsbs:

I mean welcome... I don't know where you can get low rise leather pants but when you find them- I think I speak for all of us when I say, we'd really appreciate a pic. :yesnod:

I'm with Pippi on that one, if you butt/lower back aint covered, literally, you run the risk of serious rash if you go down... Butt rash... Reminds me of my last girlfriend...

Butt rash... Reminds me of my last girlfriend... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. :flush:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. :flush: What dude? She was a pain in the...

What dude? She was a pain in the... :sorry: I thought something different. Carry on. :leaving:

What dude? She was a pain in the... she was a pain in yours, or you were in hers. whom gave who the butt rash:yikes: :whistle:

I'll check them out. I'm aware of the risk, but like u wrote, "that look like 80's style under your armpits high" lol. So something that looks nice would do>:dthumb:

gear companies are slowly coming around to designing for us ladies. however, there is still a long way to go. finding decent riding boots that aren't the full-on race ones is quite a challenge. and i'd also like to see some draggin' jeans in a more normal denim color, not that freakish blue they call denim. it must be difficult designing with safety and fashion in mind. :idk:

One time I rode in low-rise jeans and my A* jacket and I had a 2" area across my lower back with a bad sunburn - I could only imagine if I had gone down. I have a permanently tanned crescent for the little bitty section between my jacket and my jeans, from the times I didn't secure my jacket loops to my belt. :cursin: I'm with Pippi on that one, if you butt/lower back aint covered, literally, you run the risk of serious rash if you go down... :iagree: Moreso than just your a$$ gettin' rashed, think about this: lowrise jeans/pants sit at your widest point... meaning, they come off really easy (think about it... pants that fit at the waist have to be unbuttoned/unzipped before you can take them off... pants that fit at the hip can oftentimes slide right off without being undone)... Translate this to a pavement slide, and you could feasibly lose your leathers altogether in the event of a slide... it won't just be your bum gettin' rashed. :nonod:

Ok Ouch Nee...:willy: personally... the only way you may be able to get what you're lookin for it to pick out some leathers that you like... and get them tailored.... and not by your run-of-the-mill dry cleaners.... and then hopefully you would only wear them to strut your stuff:wink: and not on real rides....:2cents:

Hey Blondie, do you want me to send you a PM with a pic of my pants on so you can see what they look like on a real person? and yes guys, I said PM...:lol: :sorry: :wink:

:tt: :lol:

and yes guys, I said PM...:lol: :sorry: :wink: yes..yes... you said PM, can I get included in that.... PM:wink:

She still needs a riding boot.

Yeah... let me know if you come accross any boots that Uma might like. She still needs a riding boot. i wish her luck. i went with the icon superduty2 boots because that is practically all that is out there that doesn't look like a total cruiser boot, not that it matters now that i have a cruiser too. now it's either those or my A* (which don't get much play from me because i don't always want a boot up to my knee). i'd like something like a 3/4 race style boot, but apparently only men desire those because that's who they are offered to. :cursin: the superduty2 does the job. it is a bit wide in the toe box and not much cushion in the sole, but it serves the purpose for the more casual style i was looking for. it was either that or order mens boots 2 sizes smaller than i normally wear. but i fear they'd be a bit too wide for me doing that. perhaps someday i'll find just what i am looking for. :idk: i can totally see your wife sportin' those boots you posted up for pucky that time.

I just ordered the Setup vision boots for men, they make them small enough for me to wear (EUR 38), they are sposed to be a street/racing boot. Maybe something like that? My friend has those ICON boots GM had posted for Pucky, she says they really arent much different than any other boots she wears for riding, i.e. not harder to ride in.

I'll post a full review!! I should have them by Friday!! :woo: I cant wait!

The only thing with low-rise is that it leaves the lower back exposed. One time I rode in low-rise jeans and my A* jacket and I had a 2" area across my lower back with a bad sunburn - I could only imagine if I had gone down. You know it leave a hell'ov a beauty mark! Id rather see a hot girl in proper fitting gear as the skin.

Itgirl... what cruiser boots did you find? Got any links?

You know it leave a hell'ov a beauty mark! Id rather see a hot girl in proper fitting gear as the skin. Yep, I know :bash: I went out intending to go for a short trip (thts why I had jeans on instead of the leathers) but then ended up spending the afternoon in the twisties after meeting up with everyone and didnt realize the gap from the pants to the jacket until after the fact. The sunburn alone was painful, let alone the thought of "a hell'ov a beauty mark"!!!

Itgirl... what cruiser boots did you find? Got any links? check out some of these. this is what i mean when i say all i can find are cruiser style boots. don't know if they are uma's style or not... river road (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/department.aspx?department=125&manufacturer=91&Division=1) here's the icon boots link... icon (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/department.aspx?department=125&manufacturer=284&Division=1) here's the link to the site i shop most from showing all the ladies styles... motorcycle superstore (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/Department.aspx?Department=125&Division=1) these are more the type i was looking for when i made my purchase... sidi (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/item.aspx?style=22498&department=125&division=1)

Will check them out thanks!

Will check them out thanks! tell me what you think of these boots. they are kinda a cross between street/sport. it doesn't say anything about any kinda ankle protection though, so i don't know how safe they'd be. they look decent though. sidi summer rose (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/item.aspx?style=10964&department=125&division=1)

hey girl, those boots I got that I sent you the link for, they are also made by SIDI... and for cruiser boots, you can find a good pair of harness boots like the ones made by harley at places like a department store etc, I have really nice harness boots that I ride in right now that would be better suited for cruiser bikes, they are super study, tall enough and strong enough to provide great protection!! I got them at Dillards on sale for about $60, they were originally $120, i got black and brown i love them so much!!

:iagree: you can get authentic harley davidson boots at our local Super Shoes for under $100. thanks for the link/pic, rae! i wish i woulda stumbled on those boots before i bought the 2 pair i got. i probably woulda went that direction instead. oh well, that's the breaks i guess. i definately don't need another pair at this point though, unless i sell some first.

For cruiser-style boots, check out Red Wing boots. They don't have ankle protection the way a SIDI street/sport boot would have but they would be a lot better than the typical low-quality cruiser boots. I have a pair of Red Wing male cruiser boots that I took a high side on. Barely any scratches on the toes (I was asphalt body surfing on my chest). My sister-in-law has a pair of SIDI Rose boots and they look stylish not to mention very functional. She can shift easily and she can walk around on them all day long. The cruiser boots are definitely not made for walking around for extended periods of times. As far as low-ride riding pants; either denim or leathers, for women...I dig it!!! But then I'm not the one that wears them and might have to crash while wearing them. BMW has pants in both leathers, quasi-denim and textiles that are more or less "stylish" yet functional for women. The pants are not too low ride and not too high ride. http://www.bmw-riders-gear.com/

Check out Jamile Lee Pressley's in that AWFULL move torque...The movie sucks monkey balls, butt, no pun intended, She rocks them pants!!!!:dthumb: :dthumb: :cheers: :cheers:

One thing you could do is buy under armor and wear your regular jeans. A number of companies sell knee guards(Icon,etc) shorts and other items. Or you could buy chaps,once again a number of companies (like Icon)sell chaps just for women. Either way Blondie, I'm sure you would look AWSOME!!! :drool: Hell if you lived around here I'd probably buy the damn things just to see you in them!!! HA HA HA!

TIMES 100 BILLION!!! FN... I wear Red Wings steel toe boots for my riding boots. there I fixed your post .:wink: :lol: now back to my :drool:

Yeah no ****. Too bad the movie was a TURD!

FN... I wear Red Wings steel toe boots for my riding boots. Me too when I ride to work so that I don't have to change boots, but I usually wear the riding boots when I go riding for fun. I don't mind wearing heavy work boots for street riding but the damn laces are a pain in the wazoo. Anyway, I'd wholeheartedly recommend assless chaps for the female riders too:cheers:

psycho has a nice set of HD boots and this whole year i sported the hds cant say there is a better riding boot that isnt full on sport for the money - we picked them up for $50 in keywest
