REV'IT! Worker 2 Overshirt ~ Sale
Don’t be fooled by the Worker 2 Overshirt’s laidback spirit – this motorcycle-ready rider outerwear combines traditional workwear esthetics with a purposeful, go-anywhere, do-anything attitude. From the turn-up collar to the scalloped tail, the Worker 2 brings a fresh look to a firm fashion favorite.
Strength and stretch As the name suggests, the Worker 2 works for you on even the wildest of rides. The outer shell is constructed from 14oz CORDURA® stretch twill: a remarkably comfortable textile with the reassuringly robust, resilient texture of twill and accomplished abrasion-resistance that still affords you full range of movement.
Full-spec overshirt The Worker 2 includes an insert for optional SEESOFT back protector, and there’s SEESMART CE-Level 1 armor at the shoulders and elbows – hundreds of hexagon studs absorbing impact effectively and inconspicuously. Four bold pockets – two open and two with poppers – keep your essentials within easy reach, and a label with reflective print on the back yoke adds visibility.

Sizing Information
We measured and tried on all the sizes in this overshirt and developed the size chart below to help you buy the right size. The overall cut is trim… some call it a “European” cut, which means it is close fitting and will work best for those with a trim build. For most people, we recommend you buy the size you usually wear in men’s clothing. Those with more stout builds will want to try one size larger than you normally wear.
We put a Medium and XL on our two Fit Check mannequins Huey and Dewey and the fit looks good (click the “View Larger Images” link above to see).
Sleeve and body lengths are noticeably generous so taller riders will appreciate the extra length. The arms are fairly trim so those with stout builds probably won’t like the overall cut, but taller and leaner cut people probably will love it.

Our Two Cents
The Worker 2 Overshirt from REV’IT! is a fairly laid back, regular fit, denim worker jacket that looks 100% off the bike ready. I would argue that if you didn’t know the REV’IT! brand, that there would be no reason that you would suspect that it is a protective motorcycle jacket. With that said, that is exactly what it is, protective, the overall construction is a combination of 14oz CORDURA® stretch twill and 15.5oz CORDURA® denim with COOLMAX® & THERMOLITE® elements which are able to achieve a CE Level AA abrasion resistance rating while being very comfortable and allowing for a full range of motion.
Diving deeper in to protection, the Worker 2 features a pocket for the optional SEESOFT CE-level 2 Insert Back Protector and comes with the included SEESMART CE-level 1 Shoulder and Elbow protectors. The Worker 2 also features a fluorescent and reflective label at the back to aid in night time visibility.
Looking at comfort and convenience, the Worker 2 features a polyester ripstop lining, a hidden snap button at the collar, v-flap at the cuff, as well as a short connection zipper and jeans loop hooks connection option. I also really like that REV’IT! wanted to complete the look and style by having the front closure be button based, but knowing that it wouldn’t be super functional at speed, REV’IT! included a main zipper behind the buttons, thus giving you the full functionality and safety of a strong zipper while still giving you that jean jacket look. Also the buttons, though they go all the way down the front of the jacket, only show externally about half way down with the lower half of buttons covered by the fabric, this is a great feature as it keeps the buttons from scratching your fuel tank if you decide to lean forward. From a pocket perspective, the Worker 2 features two stash pockets at the waist, a stash pocket on the chest, a split pocket at the chest and an inner pocket.
Overall I think the Worker 2 from REV’IT! is a really cool overshirt as it offers a really good level of protection while looking super casual. It would look right at home on a cruiser, in an urban setting or on many vintage bikes. I am a fan, I think REV’IT! executed this overshirt well. :: Damir 5/11/24
