Ladies, trust me on this, you want two piece raising leathers so that you can go to the bathroom without taking everything off! I loved these leathers,  and they’ve never been down on pavement. I no longer race, but have stored these in a cool dry place in a smoke-free home. These leathers are soft and flexible while still being protective and are clean inside and out. The lining is perfect! Velcro for attachable knee-pucks is in perfect condition. These are also really comfy for long distance rides!
