Now the warmer weather is here, our usual bike trousers are normally too hot and uncomfortable to wear, so let’s have a look at my pick of the Top 10 best women’s summer trousers that are available for us.
Remember when looking though ladies, you should bear in mind what you need from your trousers – that they offer you protection; have the option of adding hip/knee protectors; pockets; belt loops so you can add a connection belt or a short zip for connecting to a jacket and also that they are stylish and affordable.
Just a few things to remember but they have got to be right for you.
These Dainese Ladies' Drake Super Air Textile Trousers have two pockets on the front; reflective inserts; a calf zip; the added benefit that they can be adjusted at the waist and they can also be attached to a jacket. These trousers are made from a Boomerang QuickDry fabric and have a liner which is both breathable and perforated made with Sanitized fabric. They also come with removable composite protectors certified to EN 1621.
The RST Ladies' Gemma Vented CE Waterproof Trousers are the ventilated version of the Gemma II CE jeans and are ideal for warm weather riding in comfort. They have made with a stylish flattering cut but with the addition of a large mesh venting panelling to the rear. These jeans are fitted with Contour Plus CE certified armour to the knees and there is a waterproof lining and a connection zip that goes all the way round.
Looking at the Spidi Ladies' Glance H2Out Waterproof Trousers, these trousers have an external fabric and cut derived from horse riding and racing but tailored for bike use and is one of the top lady touring trouser in the Spidi collection and comes with CE Multitech protectors and removable H2OUT membrane coupled with internal mesh to expel humidity. There is a zip for joining to a jacket and an adjustable ankle area. There are also two outer pockets for your lippy and mobile. Perfect.
I do like these Halvarssons Ladies' Cambridge Waterproof Leather Trousers as they are designed specifically for Women, riders and pillions. They conform to the latest CE AAA standard and are the made from water-repellent cowhide to make your riding comfortable but with the protection and versatility that you need. The outside of these trousers are treated with Durable Water Repellent and TFL Cool to keep you dry and to reflect the sun’s rays keeping them cool in direct sunlight, and the fixed internal liners keep you waterproof and comfortable in both warmer and cooler climates making them ideal for touring and everyday use.
I do like these RST Ladies' GT CE Perforated Leather Trousers are CE Certified to Level AAA and are made from premium full grain drum tanned cowhide and are perforated for added ventilation during the summer months. These ladies' trousers comes with Level 2 hip and knee armour, providing you with full protection and there are also standard Matte Knee Sliders. These trousers have a fixed 3D Mesh Inner Lining and have stretch leather panels for greater comfort when riding. There is also a connection zip.
The Dainese Ladies' Amelia Stretch Aramid Jeans have a slim-fit street style to them and are made of a Kevlar stretch denim which have had a stone wash treatment to give you an improved fit with Pro-Shape protection. There is a pocket for Pro-Shape hip protectors and you can remove the standard removable Pro-Shape knee protectors with Pro-Armor. Reflective inserts to enhance the looks and safety of the trousers.
The RST Ladies' Straight Leg CE Aramid Textile Jeans are a straight Leg Jean made for riding but styled to look like normal jeans. With woven Aramid fibres across the knees and bottom area, these jeans are supple and soft but are also high abrasion and cut resistant. The knee armour is CE Level 2 and there is the option of adding hip armour too. The main outer material is denim with a Aramid inner lining and they seams are triple stitched.
These Lindstrands Ladies' Wrap Jeans are made from high quality denim reinforced with HI-ART in the key areas giving them a significant increase in abrasion resistance over a standard fabric. There is also optional knee and hip armour & a Halvarssons Waist Zip to connect any suitable Halvarssons, Lindstrands or Jofama jacket.
The RST Ladies' Kate Leather Trousers are made from a flexible Maxtex in the back and crotch area of the trousers providing you with both comfort off the bike and support on it. These trousers have RST Contour Plus CE certified armour in the knees as standard and have a fuxed polyester lining and a removable quilted lining. There is also a connection zip that goes right the way round for attaching to a jacket.
Great for road use and casual wear are these Lindstrands Ladies' Macan Aramid Fibre Jeans as they are made from a combination of abrasion resistant Aramid fibres & Denim cotton. The CE approved protectors fitted in the knees and hips can be adjusted or removed outright to allow greater control over their protection, comfort lightness & flexibility. They are also mesh lined in the front of the jeans.
Do make sure you try on a few different styles and makes before making your decision and remember to make sure they have all the things you are looking for in the jeans whilst offering you value for money, style and most important of all, protection.
Happy safe riding ladies :-)
