One piece suit
03/29/13 1:43 PM

...new Olympia Phantom...very nice..excellent quality.Gonna be a great all rounder;)Mega fitment points...fully armored.Has a sweet WARM inner liner that's one piece also...can be used under any gear.Looking forward to riding in this baby...for sure.(Phoslite piping)


It comes out via two side zippers in the chest area,and one each velcro tab/elastic band in each limb.Very easy.Knee armour fully adjustable(up or down) via velcro 'steps' in the outer suit(the armour pockets inside the knee 'lining').Full body zipper down to below the waist,(as with the outer shell also) so you can step out of it.Nice velcro flaps running along the zippers to seal the seams......Leg at lower part is fully adjustable tightness wise.Wrists...nicely close up for a snug fit for guantlet gloves.It's going to be VERY comfortable with a T-shirt and shorts.Liner has no armour in it or velcro closures.
Doubles as a jump suit my guess.

Did a ride today...barely 50 degrees...so the wind chill was somewhat lower.This suit worked really well...good comfortable fit...no wind entering anywhere.Felt secure in it...she's a keeper fer sure.

Good thing to have. Looks sharp, too. Is that the water resistant material?

I could have used one of them yesterday. Took a 135 mile round trip and it started raining on the way back. It was chilly already, and then the rains came.......... Not too much fun, but better riding attire, like this, would have made it alot easier.

@ZXMan...fully waterproof...it's at least 7 something lbs with the liner.I can't find the spec sheet on it right now...but it's definitely a good suit to stay warm and dry in.Denier and Cordura...very strong feeling.I think it would perform fine in a get-off...I'm certain of that.

@Mad...400 bones...yup...kinda up there...but worth it to keep from freezing on Spring/Fall/Winter rides.As opposed to wearing three or four underlayers under a top set of bike gear.That gets old...and hard to move in the saddle.

Here is a 2007 review of the Phantom suit. The Odyssey has replaced it.

Very nice suit. Too many layers and soon I cant move well. An electric jacket under that, maybe an armadillo chest and spine protector and you could ride when you really should not be riding.
