Need a hand from the girls on this

[tantrumpipeline]

My gf is 6' tall and our motorfist dealer isn't carrying the empress line so I have no way to test fit the gear with her, do any of you have an idea of what size she'll need? She's 160lbs, has naturally wide shoulders, and we both are at the gym everyday so she's pretty muscular. We may get lucky and hit the show in Edmonton and solve this otherwise I'm SOL and I refuse to spend a million on klim but want her to have good gear as this will be her first season and being warm/dry/comfortable is a pretty big part of enjoying the sport especially new, thanks for any help

Try ski gear. There is a large selection of high quality gear for females in the ski industry. backcountry.com might be a good place to start.

I know what you mean, I find one of the biggest problems about buying clothing is it doesn’t seem like there is any standard in witch these clothing company’s follow. As was the case with my snowcheck jacket, My normal fall storm teck jacket is an xl so I figured the Polaris one would be smaller an ordered a 2xl I can’t even come close to getting it over my Buddha belly (LOL) it seems as if companies are doing some kind of vanity sizing and it real makes it hard to buy something without being able to try it on first.

Best of luck to you and the GF.

We found a few ski jackets and she liked one but the empress is what she wants and I love my Motorfist gear so I'm pretty well just listening, way easier than arguing thanks for the quick replies, hopefully we make the show it'll be a lot easier than guessing

I'm no help with sizing, but Momma might be able to...they deal in Motorfist at Main Jet.
There will be MF gear at the show...and I think we need to meet your new riding gal...if you're at the show, bring her by The betties booth so we can meet her and get her stoked to ride

MFGuy on here too can probably help you out with comparable sizing to the Empress jacket. Don't go to ski gear IMO, it's good, but not as good as sled gear...stick with Motorfist or Klim for dry, comfortable gear...don't take that chance on a newbie rider If she's cold, wet or uncomfortable...she may go home and not look back. Hahaha.

definitely bring her by the Bettie's booth, she's only come out once and had fun but nervous she's holding me back when we went, you girls can explain the learning curve to her as I tried and maybe she will retain it hahaha, until she's pumped on the sport and asking me to go riding there's no reason to push, I read all the girls write ups last year in preparation for teaching her this season

The funny thing is if everyone knew you're only chirpin cause becoming a dad just before season will limit your mountain time and you're wishing it upon me, I called your every move before it happebed so I'm making sure the payback takes awhile haha, now go finish your roof or come gimme a hand with this relic M8's ill supply beer

 

[MOMMA]

I'm thinking 2xl for the Jacket and XL for the empress bibs would be perfect. I hope you can make it to the show!! We'd love to meet both of you.
Absolutely bring her to meet us!! If we can give her some love, encouragement and reassurance it would be our pleasure.

Have an awesome day!!
