Default Rain gear for short/skinny riders

So I have been using HD Small rain gear for few years now. I’ve always felt it was very large. Last week I went on a ride with my buddy and he commented that rain gear looked large for my size.

I’m 5’4 and weigh 125 lbs. Any recommendations on rain gear that will fit me well. Form and function if that’s possible. TIA

All my clothes I usually have to alter them including Harley T-shirts. I could do that with rain gear but that’s not possible lol. This may sound silly but I was looking at Harley women's petite rain gear. Looks like they have XS and Small sizes.

If it was me I'd go to a H-D dealership and try on rain suits to see what fit me best.

My wife as the opposite of being short and buxom she found a seamstress that reworked the pans of a H-D rain suit and she's had it for many years.

An alternative might be going to the Revzilla website to search whatever the may offer.
