Ooooo Shell I hadn't thought of that, think I'd prefer my leathers to go inside my boots                                                                                                                                                                               

I prefer to wear mine on the outside, It gives me more room to move. You will soon find out what feels more comfortable for you.                                                                                                                                                                             

 Hi Angel cake, I agree with all the girls. You really need to go out and try on leathers. It s like jeans in a way, one make will fit in your usual size and the next wont. I have a pair of Richa leather and textile bootcut ones, that i have seen a few women wearing. They are both great for protection and fit our womanly curves too In winter I go for textile, waterproofs for obvious reasons ...rain, snow, sleet, wind brrrrrhhhhhhhh Happy hunting, you will find a pair that suits you hun                                                                                                                                                                              

Thank you Elliemay & Hazelnut 

Thanks to all that have responded, it has given me more insight regarding what to look for etc, hopefully I'll have some leathers shortly
                                                                                                                                                                             

Please remember never buy a second hand helmet. (you don't know its history, knocks etc) Always buy new!! this is one thing you should try on before you buy for the fit.
                                                                                                                                                                             

Got to agree with Ellie on that one your head is worth more to you , get the best you can afford ... and if you cannot afford it save for few more weeks.

Like Ellie I prefer leathers outside of boots , boots feel less restraining that way                                                                                                                                                                              

Thank you Elliemay & Shell for the advice regarding a helmet, yes I wouldn't like to loose my head, it's worth more on my shoulders 

I would prefer my leathers inside my boots but I guess I won't know what I prefer till I get my gear & try it all on.

Thank you everyone for the great advice
