Fits perfect! Great soft material. It's a bit heavy, so it should be perfect for fall. Honestly, so surprised because I'm curvy and had trouble finding women's gear. Love this and will probably order other colors!
This thigh bag though!! I was hesitant on getting any thigh bag, because I wasn’t sure how I’d like something to dig into my thickness during any length of ride. Not these!! The thigh strap is stretchy and made of a soft elastic material. It’s not dry, hard, or causing friction on my pants. (I want the black and white one now. 😮💨😮💨) It holds a lot. And that’s coming from someone who can fit a Wolfpak 9L and 35L to capacity.
I LOVE my ViVeloci Impavida II riding pants. These are my go-tos, fr. They aren’t leggings, but they aren’t trousers. They are a very smooth Kevlar incorporated material that I just can’t put my finger on. They can be dressed up or dressed down depending on where you riding to. And they are lightweight and breathable. They can be cinched at the waist if you have a big difference in the waist to hip ratio. And can we talk about how flattering they look on any body type??

And for the ones who are hesitant on investing in gear from Viveloci, your body is worth every penny.
This thigh bag is so sleek and comfortable yet fits a ton of stuff in it while riding. Very durable and well made as well as cute!
Overall, love them so far! I go between x-small and small on gloves and the small is a snug fit, but already breaking in nicely after two hot, summer rides.
I really like the half-gauntlet style. I originally got a full gauntlet, but it was hard to get on under my leather jacket. This still gives me a little bit of wrist protection from abrasion.
My only complaints are,
- The inside seam of the thumb (under the reinforced padding) is really thick and rubs on both hands. Hopefully that will wear in with time, but I wish the seam followed the contour of the reinforced padding.
- I find the direction of the wrist strap to be opposite of every other glove I have ever had and makes it hard to use natural leverage to tighten the strap.
Even so, I would still totally recommend them, especially if you are tired of gloves always being too long in the finger!
Hi Andra, thank you for the detailed feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the gloves and that they fit well after some use. Regarding the thumb seam, I suggest a good stretch - you can get the thumbs damp and spend a little time working them. It will soften up that seam! We appreciate your recommendation. Stay safe out there.
Love the adjustable straps and that the thigh strap is stretchy. Comfy while riding. Fits all of the essentials including a mini hairbrush and eyeglass case.
This makes us so happy! We designed it to be comfortable on the bike, so hearing this means a lot. Thanks, girl! ️
This brand gets sizing for women! The garment fits well, runs true to size on the chart provided. I'm a G-cup and it's impossible to find buttoned tops and jackets that actually fit without the rest of the garment being huge. Well done! Perfect for a spring or fall ride.
Ahh we love hearing this!! Thanks for riding with us, Mary Ann.
I love this! I hate wearing my leather jacket in the heat of summer, but having gone done one, I won't ride without protection, so finding this hoodie was a stroke of luck. It's warm enough to wear in the evening as the sun sets and temps drop into the 60s, but also cool enough to ride midday when it's 90 something out. I'm thrilled! It does run a little large, as stated.
Hi Laura, thank you for trusting us with your ride. We’re so happy to hear it’s working out for you.
Love it! It's lighter and looser fitting than the hoodie, so it rides cool. The wrists are able to be adjusted between two snaps to get the fit you want, and it zips under the snaps and will snap all of the way to the neck, though this does not provide any wind deflection around your neck (again, nice for warm/hot weather). The pockets are ample and despite being a looser fit, it's doesn't flap around in the wind or otherwise make a nuisance of itself. Having accidentally been caught in a good rain with it already, while it is NOT waterproof, it does take some times for wetness to soak through it and it dries quickly. The only thing I wish it had were some sort of reflective components on the back of the arms or back. The hoodies have the arm bands that are fantastic (and the back logo), but there isn't anything that's reflective or hi-viz about the flannels. Not a problem for daylight riding, but I do choose other garments when I have to ride in the dark (which is more common than I like).
Hi Michelle. We're glad you love the fit and functionality of the flannel. Love seeing the fit on real riders. Thanks for sharing this with the community. Happy riding, and stay safe out there!
Great pants! Flattering and EXTREMELY comfortable. Great tapered cut! Hip and tailbone pads comfortable, minimalist and not bulky. The only improvement I can see is decreasing the pocket size which holds the knee pads as they move a bit. Would LOVE to have jeans made with same cut and stretch!
Hi there! We're so glad you love The Thigh Bag and find it roomy. Glad it’s earning its place in your riding gear lineup.
Love Love it!! Being able to use the zippers while still wearing my Viveloci gloves...best thing ever!! Thank you
Hi Marcina! We're thrilled to hear you love the Thigh Bag and that it works perfectly with your Viveloci gloves. Sounds like your gear found the right rider. Ride Safe!
Took it on my first ride today (ordered 3 days ago and it just arrived)! Exactly as depicted, and holds everything easily. Love the pockets! The thigh strap is stretchy and waist strap fit through my riding pants belt loops easily.
So much easier than a backpack, right? Super glad you like it. Ride Safe!
Sooo comfy and perfect fit! Sleeves are long enough (i have 6’2” wingspan) and the material is soft and stretchy.
Ahh we love hearing this!! Comfortable and a great fit is exactly what we were going for. Thanks for the awesome review! 💋
Petfect fit and super comfy!!! I ordered women’s XL gloves as that size matched my hand measurements exactly. Arrived hella quick, and first ride in them today was awesome!
Ah Girl! So glad to hear it! Thanks.
Awesome, thanks Guinevere! Ride safe, friend!
I absolutely LOVE this jacket!! It has some weight to it, but it’s not heavy at all. Surprisingly it is very breathable even with a long sleeve shirt under. 10/10 I recommend.
Ahh we LOVE hearing this!! 🙌 So happy you're loving it, and thanks for mentioning how breathable it is. Ride safe, Katriece! 💜
Definitely stretchy! They feel great, even if they are a bit long. The adjustable band inside is a nice plus! I also enjoy how the knee pads are actually on my knees. :)
Thank you, Guinevere! So glad they work for you! Ride Safe, Friend!
I'm a jeans and hoodie girl, but good luck finding riding jeans for women that do more than throw some armor pads on the knees and hips. So I decided to try these, and be advised that I found them to run a bit small, especially around the knees (and likely because of the armor), so I exchanged a size Large for an XL (and that process was very smooth, easy, and fast too!). I really didn't want black pants, because I expected them to be quite hot under the summer sun, especially being lined and synthetic material. Well, I was very (happily) wrong about that! My maiden voyage with them had me sitting in a car with the sun beating on my lap for 97 miles to pick up a new motorcycle and then riding that motorcycle 97 miles in 98-102F heat back home. Somehow, these pants seem to reflect and dissipate most of the heat on their surface - they heat up to the external touch, but you really do not feel it on your skin. They also do not seem to transmit much air flow through them when riding, but again, aren't hot and this may lend well to colder season rides. The fit is skinny, but flattering as they don't look or feel bulky. They have a built in, adjustable, belt that I love and will accommodate a standard belt as well. The knees are pretty tight even if you size everything correctly, but they are loosening up and breaking in as I wear them more. Overall, very pleased with these, and they are as advertised, fully armored and lined to keep your meat on your bones should something go wrong.
Hi Michelle, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that the IMPAVIDA II pants are working well for you and that they're comfortable even in hot weather. Your feedback on the fit and features is truly appreciated. Ride safe and enjoy many more adventures!
Comfortable, conformed shape for riding with plenty of reinforcement and armor where it's needed. They are not bulky nor did I find mine to be stiff or difficult to wear/move in. The closure is simple velcro and they're very good looking, too. I can't speak to how well they will handle cooler temperatures, but I've got a lot of experience using them in very hot (86-102F) and humid weather. I do not notice any air flow through the gloves, but they do ride comfortably in ridiculous heat. The only sweating my hands did in them was over the palms, which I didn't even notice while riding - just the damp glove interior when I took them off (and they dried quickly). I'm assuming they should perform very well spring through autumn and not be too chilling in cool or colder weather since they don't have a notable draft to them, but will find out!
We love hearing that the gear is delivering where it counts. Thank you for the feedback and enjoy your ride Michelle!
I'm very much a "jeans and hoodie" girl, so finding a hoodie that's actually designed for riding and cut for women was exciting. Finding it to be both comfortable and very well made is even better, and the icing on the cake is that (unlike a lot of riding gear out there) it does not just offer pockets and options for adding armor, it comes fully armored and lined. On top of all of that, it looks great, and is comfortable!
Nothing makes us happier than hearing a rider found exactly what she was looking for. We love knowing our gear is helping women get out there and ride with confidence. Thanks for sharing Michelle!
We appreciate the review, but we especially love the photo! Thanks for letting us be part of your ride. ️
ViVeloci Hoodie in purple is awesome! As a 5’11” tall woman who has a 6’2” wingspan and a long torso, I always have a hard time finding women’s gear that is long enough in the torso and sleeves. I normally wear an XL, so I ordered one size up from my normal size. I wanted to be able to put warm layers underneath for night riding in addition to ensuring the sleeves would be long enough. It fit exactly like I was expecting and hoping, and the sleeves were perfect length! During day riding when the weather hit 95, I was still comfortable as this hoodie breathes well, and with under layers on at night it is warm and comfortable and functional. I get lots of compliments on the color and design, and the reflective silver is bright and bold at night. It has snap-closure loops at the waist on each side so I can connect it to my riding pants belt loops. The inner zip pocket is large enough to hold my wallet, phone, and ladies essentials with room to spare, and it’s perfectly placed so that the items in the inner pocket are below my chest, not poking it or on top of it. The two outer pockets zip closed as well and are spacious enough to hold both wallet and cell phone together in either pocket.
The only things that could make this hoodie better would be a third snap closure loop at the waist in the back so that I could connect it to the back belt loop of my pants, and elastic thumb loops to help keep the sleeves in place. I can see, so I’ll be adding those to my hoodie.
This is a high quality and amazing product that I would highly recommend to any female rider.
Hi Aspen, we're thrilled to hear the hoodie fits perfectly and meets your riding needs. We love hearing feedback from women who actually put their gear to the test. We built this gear for riders like you. Thanks for sharing your experience! ️
