Women's gear used to mean a men's jacket in pink. The industry thought that was enough for a long time, and a lot of women rode in gear that didn't fit their bodies, didn't protect them properly, and was designed by people who weren't thinking about them at all. That's what we built Wind & Throttle to fix. Women's gear should mean gear that was designed from scratch for a woman and non-binary rider's body and ride. Forget girly colors and superficial design. Our gear should is defined by its performance, not its paint job. We lead with protection, engineering pieces that safeguard your ride and focus on your safety…but yes - they also look incredible while doing it. ⠀

There is nothing quite like riding alone. No one else's pace, no one else's route, no waiting, compromising, or explaining where you want to go or why. Just you making every decision and enjoying it in the best possible way. Solo riding gets a reputation for being lonely but we'd like to respectfully disagree. It's one of the most clarifying things you can do for yourself. If you already know, you already know, and if you haven’t gone out solo yet, there is no better time than the present. ⠀

⚡Dealer Friday!⚡
This week we are shining the spotlight on Wind & Throttle in the USA! 🇺🇲🏍️✨
Wind & Throttle, founded by Jennifer, is passionate about building community, championing inclusivity and empowering women riders 💪
As the ONLY MotoGirl stockist in the USA 🇺🇸 they stock a wide range of MotoGirl gear and also ship worldwide! 🌍
The NEW Vanessa Jacket & Trousers are now available online with Wind & Throttle 👀🔥
Ladies across the pond 🇺🇸 make sure you’re following @windandthrottle to keep up with their latest pop ups, events and MotoGirl updates 🧡

Your hands go out first, that's just physics. In any kind of slide or drop, your instinct is to catch yourself, and your gloves are the only thing between your palms and the pavement. A lot of riders treat gloves as an afterthought, which is a choice, just not a great one. CE certified knuckle and palm protection, a fit that lets you actually feel the controls, and a construction that stays on impact. That's what you're looking for, and that’s what we stock in our shop. Your hands and protection are non-negotiable, so make sure to treat them that way. ⠀

Flashback to 2018 ✨🇺🇸
The moment MotoGirl first crossed the pond and landed in the USA with our very first stockist — Wind & Throttle 🏍️
A huge milestone then, and still such a special moment now. Seeing MotoGirl gear reach riders across the world has been an incredible journey. ❤️

Spring riding means one thing: you’ll be too hot and too cold all on the same ride. But the answer isn't to suffer through it, it's learning how to layer properly so you stay comfortable without sacrificing protection. A base layer that manages heat and moves with your body, a mid layer when you need it, and an outer layer that protects you from the wind, pavement, rain, hail and anything else you may encounter. Each piece matters, and each one should be chosen on purpose. Your comfort on the road is decided long before you leave the driveway. ⠀

To every mom and non-binary parent who rides: you are not out here asking for permission. You geared up, got on the bike, and went anyway. You do the thing that makes you feel most alive without apology, without explanation, and without shrinking yourself to make anyone else more comfortable. That is not a small thing. That's a master class in what it looks like to take up space unapologetically and refuse to disappear into what everyone else needs you to be. The road is yours, something just for you - and we hope you get to go out and enjoy it this weekend. Happy Mother's Day. #mothersday ⠀

Red hot boots and a motorcycle that makes you feel powerful and strong. Need we say more? The Continental boots are made from water-resistant calfskin leather, CE certified, built with shin and ankle protection on both sides, and finished with a Vibram sole that actually grips. They're Italian-designed, made in Europe, and they look exactly as good as you're imagining right now. Protection that makes a statement is kind of our whole thing.⠀

The hardest part of learning to ride isn't the technical stuff. It's the voice in your head that decides you're not ready, you're not the type, you waited too long, or the fear of embarrassing yourself. But we have news for you: that voice is lying. Every skill on a motorcycle is learnable, every fear is workable, and the version of you who figures that out is on the other side of the fear. The course, the gear, the clunky first ride - followed by the second and third clunky rides where things finally click. That’s progress, be proud of each step it takes to reach your ultimate ride. ⠀

If the mom in your life rides, she already has opinions about her gear...strong ones. The best gift you can give her is something she'd actually choose for herself, from a brand that was built specifically for the way she rides. Everything in our collection was designed for women and non-binary riders, which means it fits right, protects right, and looks like something worth wearing. Shop the link in bio before May 11th. Free U.S. shipping on orders over $250. ⠀

Riding changes the way you move through the world, and not just literally. It changes what you're willing to put up with. What you're willing to wait for, and how much space you're willing to take up. It builds a powerful kind of confidence and trust in yourself that can be hard to find anywhere else. There's something about committing to the road on your own terms that just helps everything else in your world make sense. If you know, you know - and if you're still figuring it out, that’s okay. You’ll find your place when you’re ready.⠀
