For Sale: Used Womens Premium Riding Jeans, Size 2/4

UPDATE JAN. 9, 2020: Blue SOLD

Both of these jeans are roughly a Dress Size 2-4, 30 Waist/XS/SM.

So I have two pairs of Worse for Wear Riding Jeans for sale, which unfortunately are no longer available.

The company shut down last year, but I have two pairs that I know someone else could use more than me right now.

Unfortunately, I broke my foot (walking down stairs) last week and I won’t be riding for 4-6 weeks anyhow. But I also grew out of one pair and am not riding enough to need the second pair.

I’ll revisit riding jeans next Spring, but for now I know someone else could really use an excellent pair of riding jeans.

One pair is blue and one pair is black. Full descriptions and photos below.

The photo on the right is of me wearing the blue pair when I first bought them. They fit so well, but then my waist decided to grow a few inches and they simply became too uncomfortable to wear.

WORSE FOR WEAR JEANS #2, BLACK, 30 WAIST x 32 INSEAM:

Price: $150 (retail was ~$395) + shipping

Condition: Pre-owned, barely worn, never crashed

Worse For Wear Womens Riding Jeans 30x28

Gently Used. 

Condition is Pre-owned, never Crashed

  • Size: ~US 2-4

  • Color: Black

  • Measured waist of the garment: 30". These are a little looser in the waist and hips than the blue ones, and should fit up to a 33” true belly/waist and 37.5” hip. These are also looser in the calves by a good inch.

  • Inseam: 32" (easily hemmable by a good tailor)

  • Materials: 100% Armalith. It's one of the most abrasion resistant jeans for women, same material as these Rokker Women’s Jeans.

  • SINGLE LAYER construction; that means the entire jean is constructed of Armalith, instead of cheap riding jeans with Denim + a Second Layer of Kevlar or similar material

  • Seam strength and construction is reinforced along the outseams on the knees and hip pockets

  • Hip and Knee Protector pockets:  Knee and Hip armor included for FREE, I'll happily include whichever you prefer (thinner knees or thicker knees). You'll just have to add a strip of velcro to the back of whichever knee armor you want and then you can position it on the inside of the pocket as high or low as you need it! Brilliant, eh?

  • Waist is Medium to High Rise

  • Leg line is slim BELOW the knee, but just barely fit over a pair of Dainese Torque Out Women’s Boots. But they will go over sneakers and casual shoes

  • Please feel free to email me any other questions you may have


New Arai DT-X Motorcycle Helmet and XXS Helmets

Side Profile of the DT-X Helmet from Arai

Side Profile of the DT-X Helmet from Arai

If you have a very small head, or know a woman (in my experience, 99.9% of XS fit women or small children) who may even need a XXS helmet, Arai Helmets has just released a new street helmet called the DT-X

This helmet will feature an intermediate oval shape (most common shape in the US) similar to the Corsair-X and Vector-2.

Supposedly it will offer a XXS size, per the website. However, they have the same information for the Vector-2 which was never offered in a 2XS that you could actually order. The only 2XS helmet available to order from them at this minute is the Defiant (although it's currently OOS). 

I miss my trusty Arai, but it didn't fit me small enough like my Shoei does. I'm hoping if they do offer a 2XS that it'll fit my head! I've always respected Arai and their design / protection philosophies. They defy mainstream expectations and always strive to deliver the most protective helmet even if it means not having the best selling helmet, or the one that everyone thinks is "coolest".

But if you are looking for a Full Face or Modular 2XS Helmet, these are the ones that I'm aware of: 

Full Face:

  1. Arai Defiant and Defiant Pro Cruise (certain colors) 
  2. Icon Airmada (certain colors)
  3. Nexx XT1 Carbon Zero
  4. GMax GM38
  5. Nexx XR2 Carbon Pure (currently OOS)
  6. Shoei Qwest (black only)
  7. Shoei RF-1200 (if you purchase the 17mm Centerpad, then it's a 2XS)
  8. AGV AX-8 DS Evo

I have to mention the Bell Star (Street Star, Race Star and Pro Star) Helmets, because they fit so narrow. I can barely fit my head into an XS (that I can fit into pretty much every XS helmet) and the S fits like a Shoei XS. I'll bet that an XS fits like a 2XS. 

Modular:

  1. Schuberth C3Pro Women
  2. Nolan N104 Absolute 

9 Days Til Christmas, Kriega R20 Backpack

The Kriega R20 Backpack is one of my favorite moto accessories. I've never worn any other backpack that was this comfortable to ride with. Fits my frame perfectly, not too small and not too big, just right for daily essentials like lunch, a change of shoes and an ipad and a small purse. If you want something for a 2-3 day weekend then an R25 is in order. But for the daily commuter, this is a must.

And today only, Revzilla is having a 10% off Kriega Sale. How convenient!

 

Only 14 Days Til Christmas

I love this Roland Sands Slam Wallet. It's tiny. Perfect if you just need to take essentials with you for the day while you're out riding: cash, credit card, driver license, insurance card. Done. 

Comes in black or tobacco and it's on SALE for $22.00 @ Revzilla

Unless your person is picky about wallets/accessories, then you may want to pass on this but I think it works well for everyone regardless if what he/she rides. What a great stocking stuffer.
