Let’s do a deep dive into the Harley Davidson sizing.
Harley Davidson Boots
Compared to other brands and sizing, Harley Davidson seems to run on par with the sizing. Although some clients have reported the shoe either being too wide or too narrow, the main fit and size are equal to that of other brands.
It is advisable to try on the boot before purchase, just to make sure that the shoes are a good fit and allow comfort and protection.
For ease of shopping, Harley Davidson offers an online sizing chart on their website. It is also important to take into consideration the size of the ankle and calf if going for a longer-fitting boot.
A riding boot should not have too much wiggle room and you should be able to complete a ride without having sore feet by the end of it.
Riders with larger calves can save themself the headache and look for boots with wider calves and adjustability.
Harley Davidson Riding Jackets
As with all riding jackets, there is a belief that they are made to fit big when in reality they need to fit in such a way that they are not too baggy or too tight.
Your riding jacket needs to fit you like a second skin.
A maintained level of comfort is ideal. It is always good to check for the right amount of vents and that your jacket not only fits you but also fits you well while in the riding position.
A good way to check your jacket size would be to see if you can grab some of the jackets in your clenched fist from the chest area, if there is still room, then you may need to go down a size. If the zipped does not zip up all the way then you may need to go up a size.
According to an expert, Harley Jackets do not run small, instead, they are made to be one size larger than your T-shirt size. It is best to fit the jacket in-store to make sure it is right for you and to make sure that the armor fits you in all the right places.

Harley Davidson Riding Pants
The pants you choose to ride in are equally as important as your jacket, boots, and helmet. Finding the right fit for your body type can be hard, especially when buying online.
It is recommended that you buy pants in-store so that you can get a solid idea of how they fit and even assume your riding position.
There is a lot to take in when it comes to riding pants and finding the right fit for you, most riding pants have a form of thermal or waterproof liner, along with.
Hip and knee armor are also a factor to take into account, as they shift when sitting or standing. Harley Davidson has done their research and tried to keep their sizes as close to that of other brands as possible.
It is recommended though that you try it out yourself, as not everyone has the same leg length or waist size.
Harley Davidson Riding gloves
The fit of a glove can really vary from person to person, it is a good idea to make sure that the gloves fit you well and that you still have full mobility of both hands, having gloves that are too tight can lead to you not having great command over your bike.
Gloves that are too loose can lead to major irritation and in some instances can also hinder your command of the bike.
Again, it is stressed that an in-store fitting is ideal, but if you have no other choice than to buy online, you will be happy to know that Harley Davidson has a size guide for gloves too. Harley Davidson has a wide variety of riding gloves and sizes.
You are sure to find the right fit for you. https://www.harleyworldstore.co.uk/pages/size-guide-gloves
