Ladies - Ride Comfortable!

 Well, ladies get ready - Harley-Davidson® has developed a great new system just for women to keep you comfortable while riding in various weather conditions. The Women’s Rider Comfort System has integrated customizable layers. It is designed to be a 3 part system that has a base layer for moisture management, a mid-layer for extra insulation and an outer layer for protection. Put them all together and you have the total Rider Comfort system.


Here are some specifics, so if you are not into details you can skip the next three paragraphs and see some of the Rider Comfort System pieces below.

Why the base layer is important!

Moisture management is the first step in creating a total system, and one many riders skip. Performance fabrics are designed to wick moisture away from the body so that it can evaporate quickly, something cotton t-shirts can’t do. Wicking fabrics keep your skin dry, which is important in maintaining a consistent body temperature. Base layers are designed to fit snugly to the body for maximum wicking ability. For a roomier fit, it’s a good idea to size up.

Mid-Layers - Insulate!

The Mid-Layer helps insulate the body to retain heat by trapping air next to the skin. In cold weather, this layer keeps the body warm so that less energy is wasted on the body temperature control and more energy can be spent focusing on the ride. Mid-Layers are designed to fit snugly to the body for best heat management. For a roomier fit, it’s a good idea to size up. Just be sure the mid-layer still fits comfortable beneath the outer layer and doesn’t gap at the waist to ensure proper protection from the elements.

Outer Layer adds functionality!

The outer layer helps to further maintain a consistent body temperature and protect the rider from the elements. With options in mesh, nylon and polyester, the rider can add the right outer layer for the riding conditions that day. The outer layer should be roomy enough to fit easily over the other layers, and should not restrict any movement.

Here are the part numbers for the current pieces offered in the Harley-Davidson® Women’s Rider Comfort System, and I’ve added their layer function.
