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

My good friend Alisa is selling two awesome, gently used adventure suits that need a new home!

She’s about 5’10”, so both of these suits are great if you need a taller, plus size option. You can find her on Facebook through Women’s Motorcycle Tours and through her personal Facebook Profile.

If you have questions about sizing, just comment below or message her directly through the facebook links above.

Happy Shopping!

Rev’it Levante and Airwave 1 Pants, Size 46 (Location: Southern CA):

The Levante is now discontinued :( If you google you can find old reviews for them online. It was a fantastic jacket that I could fit 80% of the women who walked in the door. You’ll especially love these suits if you’re taller and need longer sleeves, waists and legs.

Klim Artemis Jacket, 2X and Pants, Size 14

This is Klim’s flagship adventure suit for women who are riding everywhere and anywhere from the pouring rain to the dry deserts.



3 Awesome Jackets for less than $200

Rev’it Tornado Women’s Jacket (v1); Slim Fit

Rev’it Tornado Women’s Jacket (v1); Slim Fit

These women’s motorcycle jackets are on crazy sale at RevZilla right now. I’ve added a few notes for you to see if they’ll fit you the woman rider in your life. If they do, then you’ve just scored a really great deal!

As always, drop me a line if you have questions about sizing or fitment.

1/ Rev’it Tornado Jacket, Euro 40 and 42, now $197.

This jacket is a great 3 season (spring, summer, warm) coat for your sportyish bike, your adv/touring bike and even your cruiser.

My Recommended sizing:

Euro 40 - Chest 42-43”, Waist 41-42”, Hips 43-44

Euro 42 - Chest 44-45”, Waist 42-43”, Hips 44-45

Keep in mind that these numbers are based on measuring your real waist. If you’re not sure how to do this, please watch this video. I know what you’re thinking, the Rev’it Size Chart says otherwise. Let’s just say it’s not perfect. But then again, what is? (okay, Cheesecake. Cheesecake is always perfect).

The Tornado is ideal for slimmer body types and those of you looking for a longer waist and sleeve length. Keep in mind that the liner is removable so always try your linered jackets on with and without the liners to see all the different combos and fitments you might be riding in.

If you’re not sure what to order, think about how snug you like your gear. If you want a very fitted fit and your Chest is 43.75, then order a Euro 42. If you have questions, just let me know!

My friend Sarah in a size small with a 43” Chest, 37.5” Waist, 43” hips. She’s also ~5’2”. Perfect Apple Fit.

2/ OLYMPIA SWITCHBACK 2 now $149

This is another great 2-3 season jacket, but without a thermal liner I’d say that it’s best as a Spring/Summer jacket. Keep in mind that with Olympia your rain liner can be worn outside or over the jacket when it’s raining.

The fitment is very, very very generous and I would say that the alpha sizing is oversized. If you generally buy a small, you’ll find it to be a looser small. Especially in the bust, shoulders and hips.

The Switchback is ideal for a very short waist, and generous hips. Think Apple Shape.

For reference, a small fits a woman with a 38” Chest, 34” Waist and 43” Hip. It flares so much at the hips that anyone who needs a very large hip space will fit this jacket (assuming you don’t need a smaller waist as well).

Another great deal right now for the same body type: Cortech for $109. But upgrade the armor with D3O, please!

3/ REV’IT LEVANTE 42 $199.99

My gorgeous friend Alisa (~5’10”) in her Levante (46) Taller Fit.

My gorgeous friend Alisa (~5’10”) in her Levante (46) Taller Fit.

Another 3 season favorite, like the Tornado above. This one has a slightly different fit in that it has extra long sleeves and torso. Also more cinching and adjustments at the waist, forearms and bicep to make it fit tighter without the liner.

Since only 42 is available, you’ll need at least a 41” chest up to 44”. I’d recommend anywhere from a 42” - 45” waist given the adjustability that it has on each side.

The liner is thermal and waterproof so keep in mind that when it’s out the jacket will fit a half size larger. Given how long the sleeves run, this is ideal for someone who is taller and needs as much length as possible in the torso and sleeves.

I hope these help. If you need specific recommendations, please let me know!
