- Jacket Chart
- Can't remember how I found this, but it's a chart for jacket sizing with about a dozen manufacturers. Only a few women's brands are listed, however.
- First Gear
- Link to First Gear's sizing chart from MotoEmporium.com
- New Enough
- NewEnough.com does have a "hard to fit" recommendations page which pulls up mostly sizing for men's gear, but it's helpful if you are looking for a men's garment.
- Plus Size Gear Recommendations
- This is a link to the Cycle Angels' forum on CycleForums.com. A great thread on recommendations from your fellow female riders looking for gear that fits a curvier, full-sized body. Mostly G-Line and Teknic carry sizes up to 20. These are Leather jackets, not textile! Cortech does have sizes up to 18 in their textile LRX Jacket (for less than $150).
- History of Female Riders
Harley Davidson - This is a wonderful series Harley has on their website about the earliest female riders on record, going back to the early 1900s including the first African-American woman to travel across country solo on a motorcycle. Her name was Bessie Stringfield and she was only 19 when she did it!
