![]() ![]() Either the top is too big and the waist is too small or vice versa.īut the Olympia sizing charts seem right on the money. I normally have problems with one-piece motorcycle riding suits and I can honestly say that I have never found an off-the-rack one-piece suit that fits. I have to say that I was surprised and delighted to find that I could order a Phantom in size large and have it actually fit. So what do you get for your four-and-a-half Franklins? The Roadcrafter lists for $278.00 more than the Phantom, which is enough to buy the Olympia Phantom and, oh, say a really nice helmet, or a helmet and a pair of gloves, or, if you’re a real bargain hunter, maybe even the helmet, the gloves and a pair of boots. Well, the jury’s still out on whether or not the Phantom will replace the Gold Standard of textile one-piece suits, the Aerostich Roadcrafter. How can they possibly be selling this thing for $449.00? There must be something wrong with it, no? So I’m scratching my head when it comes to this new Olympia Moto Sports Phantom one-piece suit. I guess I fall into the latter category, because I don’t mind spending what it takes to get the quality and comfort I expect, and the more I pay, the better it should be. Some people are suspicious if a product is priced too low a high price must mean better quality, right? Buy one for $79.95 and it’s the best thing since Castrol, even when the lining starts falling out on the first ride. Spend $500 on a helmet and you’re singing the blues the first time the visor leaks. ![]() It’s funny how price affects the perception of quality. It’s claimed to be waterproof and it’s loaded with features at a price that begs the question “How’d they do that?”. The Phantom is a comfortable one-piece suit with removable one-piece, full-length insulating liner. ![]()
