Most of the stitching is double row and I’m assuming it will all hold together if needed during a crash ‘n’ slide. The overall quality of the suit is excellent, with no obvious flaws that I can see. The Phantom suit, at least with the liner attached, fits me just about perfectly, a bit snug and slightly long in the legs, just as it should be, so that they fit with enough coverage when riding. 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.
