My wife is an adult and makes her own decisions about what to wear. She has been riding with me, and on her own bikes, since 1972. That's 45 years on two wheels for her. She knows the risks as well as anyone. She is reasonable about it but not fanatical. Almost always a modular helmet (sometimes a 3/4). Most times an armored jacket. Almost never gloves. Most times jeans but on a tour armored pants. Most times hiking boots, but on a tour motorcycle specific boots.
