Folks,

General gear question. I ordered a jacket from RideGear (Teknic Sturgis) and I like its style and features. The problem is it's WAAAYYY too small! I ordered based on their size guide, but even eith allowances for armor, it was midget-sized. :evil:

I also ordered a pair of leather jeans (River Road), and though they are reasonable, they also fit way more snugly than I had expected.

Is this common for rider safety apparel? Do I just need to order the "Oh-my-Gawd" size, regardless of the charts? Or did RideGear/Teknic just blow it?

Good question. I'm getting gear soon and have no real idea how tightly or loosely it's supposed to fit to protect you.

They do say that leather streches quite a bit!! re. Pants

The joys or ordering apparel online. I was lucky that my Gericke Venom jacket fit perfectly. 8)
