I am a relatively new rider and am looking to upgrade my Amazon jacket to one that I will have for a while. I live in Texas (read: HOT) and would probably like to go with a tech jacket for 3/4 seasons of the year. My issue lies in the fact that I have a true hourglass figure and play tennis, so my arms are quite athletic, but my shirt size is usually small/medium. I'm looking for advice on getting a nicer jacket (Dainese, Alpinestars, Icon) that will give me the feminine look at the waist, but allow me to do what I need to do with my arms. Also nice would be a jacket that matches my 2013 Monster 796 (pearl white tank with red frame) and isn't just pink! Any advice and images of jackets would be appreciated!
Measurements:
Height = 5'6"
Chest = 39"
Waist = 30"
Hips = 41"
Biceps = 15"
Base of neck to hips = 21"
*For reference, the attached picture is wearing a size small tshirt at Old Navy.

My wife is very hourglass and has found that some of the BMW gear (see the PDF link on this page: Ride & Style ), Klim Artemis pants and jacket (Artemis Jacket | KLIM ) both fit her well and make her look pretty darn good.

Trying to mix up local riding by finding new roads. Using my phone w/ an app like G maps or copilot has been frustrating. Part of what I'm looking for is technology, but also a system/technique. Doesn't have to be a phone. Frankly I'm souring on using my phone on a bike. Its just not made...
Heya guys,
I'm having a custom Corbin seat made for my 2019 Hypermotard 950. There are literally a TON of seat material options that are leaving me somewhat confused.
Given my own inexperience i'm not sure what is "better".
There were samples sent my way and out of all of the samples I...
