Wanted Jacket for unique pillion

[Da1sycat]

Guys can anyone recommend a textile or waxed cotton armoured jacket for my very special pillion? My daughter has sensory issues with any clothing that is very restrictive. She is also very pear shaped and my issue to date is any of my gear is way too big in the chest and just too neat at the waist. Got away with an armoured overshirt during this dry spell but really need something waterproof and armoured. Not really interested in a raincoat over the shirt idea. Can any of you recommend a jacket that may suit her needs? I was thinking like the original SIDI lightly armoured gear that was also waterproof and handy for urban/dispatching etc

Perhaps some indication of size would help...10...14...16???

Probably best to take her to the shop and see what she likes best.

My BiL uses HiVis workmans jackets in his scoot.

They seem to come up very large and don’t look out of place on a m/cycle. Waterproof too

Yep not so much looking for a specific jacket for sale, rather experience with anything that is suited to that body shape ie larger round the middle, coupled with the soft shell type effect as she can't tolerate leather etc with no give in it

Yep, she is very sensitive to things not fitting and it can become a shutters down situation very quickly so I tend to gather in kit and present it just before we are due to go if that makes sense

I agree they are good for that though I'm seeking something with armour rather than just waterproof

Morning Da1sycat,

My wife is a horse riding instructor and has pupils with similar sensory aspects. They use a body protector and whilst it’s snug and close fitting, it’s not restrictive.

Example here and plenty available on line.

Can perhaps then cover with that over shirt….

Good idea much appreciated
