Clothes for shorties!

[LEEHM]

Thought I had found the perfect jacket for some winter cycling that didn’t cost the earth!
However I’m vertically challenged (5’1) and couldn’t find my hands when I put it on!

Does any one have any brand suggestions for smaller women…. It’s getting cold here in Scotland

Try Stolen Goat/Velovixen. The Velovixen Facebook page is very active and you’ll get great advice
@Reynard is a shorter lady and may have some advice too

I'm 1.60 metres (5Ft1) size 10(ish), commute with an Altura Night Vision jacket.
I have a few Alturas, they fit well.
I don't do road racing though, do you need something less flapping in the wind lol?
For the cold, wear a base layer under your cycling jersey.
I wear thermal tops under some not described warm sports fleecy top under my jacket on colder winter mornings.

Despite not being a woman (or short) I'd say Altura are good, got a few items myself, reasonable quality at a reasonable price.

Thanks for your reply’s! Im going to check those out, layering up is maybe a better shout! The jacket I tried was a really thick rigid material which I think was not helping

Enjoy the rest of the weekend
