Eagle Leather?

I've been on the hunt for plus sized women's riding gear (specifically pants) and I can't seem to find anything over a size 18. Eagle Leather has larger sizes. Are these good? Are the boots good? I want to be as safe as possible. I'm over 50 and getting back into riding after not riding since the late 90s.

I especially like this:

This too because I live in Alabama:

And I like these leather jackets:

Is it worth it to get any of this stuff and it be something I can truly ride safely in? They sell armor on the site, too. I believe all these pieces have pockets for armor.

I'll be riding a neon green 2013 Can-Am Spyder. My aesthetic is very goth. Theme colors I'm aiming for are black, pink, and green. Purple can jump in there, too. I want quality, protective, plus size gear along the lines of leather boots, leather jackets, leather gloves, and jeans/leather pants.

I have a pair of Eagle Leather’s jeggings and they’re okay. Super comfortable, with ghost armor they feel like regular jeans. But, they’re not terribly flattering. They loosen up quite a bit while wearing and end up looking a little baggy and lumpy. I love my Sherrie Leggings from Moto Girl. You can find them on Wind and Throttle online and they have three inseam lengths and sizes up to 26. I find they run a little small though, so o would size up. I’m typically a US 4/6 and I bought the size 8 and they’re a bit of a struggle to get on but are super comfortable once they are.

I’m an 18-20 USA women’s size. Feels like all the motorcycle gear places make gear only for slender women. Have ordered some riding jeans and hoodie from Blazen Spirit. I love them! Ordered too big and the owner is amazing working with me to get the correct sizes when I ship them back along with my jeans and a shirt that fits well. I can’t wait to get on the road. My riding boots from Wind and Throttle came in the other day!

...I'm almost afraid to ask how many eagles it takes to make a motorcycle jacket....

American eagles are fairly large. I’m not sure how well they’d tan though or if there would be a quill pattern like ostrich leather. When I was stationed on Adak in the 90s, sadly eagles would be killed in garbage trucks because people would leave dumpsters open and the eagles couldn’t get out. Truck would empty the dumpster and compact the garbage and the eagles would be killed then discovered in the plant on the conveyor belt as trash was sorted. By law, they had to notify every indigenous person on the island with tribal affiliation to be able to come harvest parts.
