The Phantom is claimed waterproof, with sealed seams and a waterproof liner, but the unusual late-March snow storm we had this week prevents us from evaluating this feature. Heavy 2000 denier Cordura is used on the wear points over the knees, elbows and shoulders.

The outer skin is made from the motorcyclist’s best friend, DuPont Cordura, in 500 denier. The Phantom suit comes in Back to Basics Black (“Pewter Gray”, actually) or the eye-popping “Neon Yellow” shown here. The arm and leg cuffs are apparently tapered and also use Velcro (OK, hook-and-loop) closures. I’m also happy to report the collar on the Phantom fits like it should, comfortably and with enough Velcro to allow a wide range of adjustment. The suit is also styled to complement the owner and Olympia says that the “Phantom” name and the styling are derivative of the one-piece suits worn by fighter pilots. 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?”.
