I hear Teiz MS is making a women's suit!

[stefrrr]

I hear Teiz Motorsports is going to be offering a women's suit soon.

I wonder what the colors will be, how to order, what sort of vents it might have.

Pictures would be awesome.

I wonder if the price will be as reasonable as the men's versions.

There's a thread over on ADV about this new suit.

Perhaps the manufacturer will post some details here about it.

;-}

[motormike]

SOME details?

Open the floodgates.

Now, what about those "dangly crotches"?

Bluepoof's blog entry is sweet

I will be keeping tab on this for the wife eventhough she said she want the leathers the girl is wearing in the Progressive motorcycle commercial

I think this is alittle more practical.

Questions???? Ask away....

Uh, are you having a buy one, get two free deal? I know it's custom, but $899 for a suit?
I'd rather something just generally women-shaped but comparable in price to your men's suits.
Otherwise, nice colors and the suit looks great.

ditto,

I was hoping to put my wife in something around the price of your men's suits,  but this puts it out of budget.

i don't know why i'm even reading this thread, but i have to interject, why is it 2.5-3x as much as the man's suit? does it really take that long to recover the cost of development?

I'd love to get this.  I can't afford $900 for a suit.  

I am getting really f&*%ing pissed off that I can't find a single piece of women's gear that is a) normal looking and/or b) sized correctly (in plus sizes, preferably).  I was hoping that this would be the answer.  Apparently not.

Note: I fully understand that gear manufacturers are in a chicken/egg situation.  Women are still a small segment of the riding population, so making a lot of off-the-rack gear is a money losing proposition.  However, many women who would wear gear don't because they can't find a decent selection.  For instance, I'm STILL trying to find a replacement for the pants I shredded at the track last September.

Here's what they posted to the same question on ADV:

Well there is no comparison.. totally different product.Lets see

the materials and components are quite different-- including but not limited to Super Fabric ballistics, a new shell construction, Sas-Tec armor (including back protector for which everyone charges an extra $45 to $100), an amazing thermal liner, a full rain suit etc... Then you have the FULL custom sizing which obviously doubles our costs..... Now add the amazing warranty, service and support that you will get and multiply with the satisfaction of something that actually fits in a color of your choice. Not to mention that we all know the quantities for this suit will obviously be less than those of the mens suits.... i think you end up with an extremely fair price which I think is not even expensive ---

How much do does it cost to buy a high end pair of jackets and pants? What would you have to pay to them to get them custom made to your size. Why don't they even include a proper back protector at that price...

i guess you will start to see that its actually a very very good price for what we are offering.

Personally, I understand it.  Full custom with higher grade armor and a smaller demographic to sell to is going to mean it costs more.  

Of course I would love a women's suit for the price of their men's, but I'm realistic that I'm going to need full custom.  I paid $2000 for a full custom leather suit in 2002 when there were barely any women's jackets or pants on the market at all (and they were all just men's gear slightly smaller, so they didn't fit anyway).  I still have that suit today even though now there are more options for women's gear.

Speaking of women's gear, the pants and winter jacket I currently wear add up to about $500 before tax (Firstgear HT overpants at $200 and Firstgear Kilimanjaro jacket at $300).  

In summer, my gear is a combined $800 (same pants at $200 and a BMW Santiago jacket at $600) -- and the jacket didn't come with any waterproof or thermal layer.

This means that (not counting the aforementioned leather suit) I'm already wearing $1100 worth of non-custom gear that mostly-but-not-entirely fits: there's no good back protector and the armor on the Kilimanjaro in particular slides around because the jacket is too big.   Would I pay $899 for a suit that does custom fit and that I can wear year round?  For me, that's a no brainer.  

[birdrunner]

I understand the issue, but had just been hoping

[KLRchickie]

While everything Poof says is correct, I have to agree that the price point is rather high - especially for textiles.  I think I only paid $1100 or $1200 (CDN) for my leathers.  Admittedly, I then had to do alterations ( none of my motorcycle gear fits "off the rack"), and my next leathers will be custom (so more $$$, but still...), but when the price is getting "close", I'll choose the more expensive leather option.

I also don't feel that this set of measurements equates to "full custom sizing".  You're missing some lengths....  Where are the knees located?  Where are the elbows located?  I realize my leg measurements are an extreme example, but my knees are located low in my leg (at 5'7"~8" I have a femur less than 2" shorter than a man of 6'2" ) and I feel that a "custom" suit should place the knee armour on my knees, rather than me having to alter the location after the fact.

I'm not trying to sound like a big downer, and I am thrilled that there ARE more manufacturers willing to admit that women ride and have different body shapes from men, but...

[allwedrrider]

 Where are the knees located?

yes we were already  planning to add that particular measurement to the size chart today (based on feedback from my pattern maker).  Additionally, if you feel like any of your  measurement needs special attention then please feel free to include it along with the required measurements

We will stand behind our product: If your suit does end up having any sizing issues and does not fit the way its supposed to, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.. we are not kidding around here.. satisfaction is guaranteed! Let me repeat that... SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED.. even if that means i have to make you another suit...

on advrider, bluepoof asked about heated gear cables...  there are access pockets on each side to reach into your inner pants.. they also work great to pass-through the heated gear cords...

Woohoo! Thanks!
