Women's leather motorcycle pants built for serious road riding. Shark Leathers' own-brand Tract pants are cut specifically for female riders, combining genuine leather construction with targeted CE-rated armour placement across knee and hip zones for the protection that counts on every long ride.

Why leather pants set the standard for road abrasion protection
Genuine leather is the benchmark material for motorcycle pants under EN 17092, the abrasion and impact standard adopted across Australia. EN 17092 defines three abrasion tiers: AAA for the highest resistance, AA for mid-range road use, and A for urban riding. Full leather across Zone 1 high-contact areas gives riders maximum slide distance before CE armour absorbs the remaining energy. The Shark Leathers Tract pants pair leather over primary impact zones with mesh panels in Zone 2 areas for heat management across Australian conditions.
Fit engineered for female riders
A women's-specific cut is not cosmetic. Female hip-to-waist ratios and inseam geometry differ enough from men's patterns that unisex sizing shifts CE armour pockets away from correct anatomical positions. The Tract pants are patterned from scratch for female riders, keeping CE Level 1 armour pockets over the correct knee and hip landmarks from size S to 3XL.

Buying guidance
Leather pants suit riders who prioritise maximum abrasion resistance across road and touring riding. CE Level 1 knee armour meets Australian road legal requirements; riders wanting higher impact performance can fit CE Level 2 inserts in the same pockets without altering fit. Size to your hip circumference first, then confirm inseam. New leather feels firm and breaks in to your shape within 3 to 5 long rides.
Frequently asked questions
Are these leather pants cut specifically for women or are they unisex?
The Shark Tract pants are cut specifically for female riders. The pattern accounts for female hip-to-waist geometry so CE Level 1 armour pockets sit over the correct anatomical landmarks across all sizes from S to 3XL.
What armour is included and can it be upgraded?
The Tract pants include CE Level 1 rated knee and hip armour in dedicated pockets. The knee pockets are height-adjustable for anatomical alignment and are compatible with CE Level 2 upgrades for riders wanting higher joint impact protection.
How do I size leather pants correctly?
Measure your hip circumference first, then confirm your inseam. Size to the hip rather than the waist. New leather will feel firm; expect the pants to break in to your exact fit within 3 to 5 long rides as the leather moulds to your shape.
