LS2 Garda Jacket (LADY)
LS2 Garda Lady -The women's version of LS2's mesh summer riding jacket, built on its own women's size chart. Removable CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow armour, CE certified Class A.
The LS2 Garda Lady is the women's version of LS2's lightweight summer riding jacket, built on its own size chart rather than a men's cut relabelled smaller. Same mesh-heavy construction for hot weather riding, sized and fitted for a woman's frame.
The outer shell mixes rip-stop poly fabric with mesh panels, and the inner sleeve lining uses RUCO-THERM CMB, a polymer fabric that reacts to moisture with a cooling sensation similar to menthol, on top of the airflow the mesh panels already provide.
Protection is removable CE SAFE TECH certified armour at the shoulder (434) and elbow (535), both EN1621-1:2012 Level 2, with the elbow protector adjustable between two positions. It's compatible with LS2's 851 back protector and an optional CE chest protector, both sold separately. The jacket is CE certified Class A (EN17092-4:2020).
Everyday details: a titanium semi-automatic YKK front zip, a velcro closure flap, snap adjustment at the cuff, arm and waist, two hand pockets, and reflective strips for visibility after dark.
If you're building out a full riding kit rather than just a jacket, our guide to riding gear for women covers fit and protection across helmets, gloves and boots too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this actually cut differently from the men's Garda, or just a smaller size?
A1: It's a separate cut with its own size chart, not the men's jacket sized down. Fit through the chest, waist and shoulders is built around women's measurements specifically.
Q2: Is the Garda Lady warm enough for anything other than summer?
A2: No, it has no thermal liner and no waterproof rating, it's built specifically for hot weather airflow. For year-round coverage in a women's fit, the Sepang Lady is the better choice.
Q3: What protection is included and what's optional?
A3: Shoulder and elbow armour ship with the jacket. The back protector and chest protector are both compatible but sold separately.
Q4: How do I read the size chart?
A4: Match your height, chest and waist in centimetres against the table on this page rather than a men's LS2 size or a regular clothing size.
Q5: What other riding gear should I look at alongside this jacket?
A5: Our riding gear for women guide covers how to choose gloves, boots and a helmet that actually fit, not just what's marketed as unisex.
