No idea about gloves as my wife's ones were a lucky find in a dealer's bargain bin but when it comes to the rest of the stuff women do seem to be badly served. The trouble we had about five or six years ago when we were trying to buy boots, jacket, crash helmet etc just amazed me. Dealer after dealer either had nothing specifically for women, or a small section down in the corner or said 'yeah, yeah, it's all the same, just pick it off the men's rail'. And in fact most jackets were just men's ones with a pink stripe added.
I think we visited all the dealers within about 25 miles and got nothing. We gave up with bike specific boots in the end and she bought some hiking boots instead. We eventually found a female fit jacket in a huge store about 100 miles away. It's the complete reversal of the fashion world where it's all women's stuff with the male section tucked away next to the toilets (= my local M&S).
