I decided I wanted a one piece suit as I have a long commute to work in the dark and was looking for something I could wear year round that was waterproof and hi viz. We get a lot of rain in south Louisiana! After looking over the suits available, I decided on the Phantom. My wife decided on the color.
I'm 6', 175/180 and the size large fits me just fine with work clothes and a sweatshirt. I find I'm comfortable with this combo down to the mid to lower forties ambient temps. Colder than that I'll wear the liner that comes with the suit. When I use the liner the suit is definitely snugger but still doesn't impair any movement.
I've been in some driving rain storms and never had a drop of water get through or in the suit. Very happy with that! I'll note that I'm riding a R1100RT, so my bike has a windshield and fairing which offers some rain protection in itself. Still, the suit does it's job.
In summer temps here (upper 90's/100 with high humidity)...well, I'll admit the suit is miserable.
But, it is a one piece waterproof suit, so breath-ability is not going to be a strong point with it or any other similar suit. I will say I researched suits before I bought this one and the Phantom had the best venting set up of all of them. When the air is cool and the vents are open, I can feel a good flow of air getting in, so I do know the vents work even when the air is hot and it doesn't seem like it.

I find the suit easy to get in and out of quickly with the full leg zippers. I did notice the zippers would get stuck sometimes if I went all the way up with them. Easy fix though, just stop unzipping an inch from the top.
I bought the suit over a year ago, I've used it winter and summer and all in all, for where I live, it's a great suit for at least three seasons here. Comfortable for an armored one-piece suit, waterproof and the hi-viz yellow is eye-popping bright, so safety-wise this thing is tops.
My only complaint is that I wish the legs had vents similar to the older Olympia Transformer pants (not the mesh tech ones). But, I suppose the full leg zippers make this un-doable.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this riding suit for the Hi viz color. I live in the South so the liner came out right away. I wear it over my flight suit to and from work. Temps down into the 30's are no problem, again no liner. Too large to pack but don't plan on packing it, I'm wearing it. Photo was on a Poker run. Only a couple with hi viz on, who is easier to see. I don't always ride to work but when I do, I ride a GS. Stay Upright my friends!

This is the first suit I have owned and I'm quite pleased. I ride about 15 miles in 40 degree sun and rain and I'm usually almost sweaty when I get to my destination. The comfort is okay but I think a part of the problem is it still needs to be broken in. The reflectiveness of the puwter is pretty good but I would recommend a hi-viz vest. My wife followed me one day and found I was pretty visible but mostly because of my bike and white helmet with reflective sticker on the back. Overall I would definitely recommend. Also, I've read some reviews regarding the waterproof abilities of the suit and anyone who got wet, that was either handler error or they went swimming in it. I will say though for the first month of Seattle riding I wore a layer of marmot rain gear and still was dry.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this suit in preparation for a multi-day trip in PA, MD, WV, OH, VA, and TN in late October/early November. I was riding a BMW K1300S which has decent wind protection, but still gives you enough wind in the chest to let you know you're in the elements. The day before we were to leave home, we received a few inches of early season snow. Though I had tested the suit commuting to work in high 30s/low 40s weather, I hadn't had the chance to test it for prolonged riding in those temps or lower.
With the liner installed and a base layer of UnderArmor ColdGear and a long sleeve t-shirt, I was comfortable in temperatures ranging from the low 30s up through the 50s. On one particular day, the temperature sank to 27F shortly after departure and rose to 67F shortly before arrival--the 27F was chilly, but still tolerable and the 67F was warm, but again, still tolerable once the vents were opened. I wouldn't have wanted to push it to any temperatures higher or lower, though, without additional layers or removal of layers/liner.
The suit was very stiff when it arrived, but after five days of breaking it in, it has loosened considerably and is very comfortable. I'm about 5'-10" and 190 lbs with a "I like beer" build and found the large to be perfect, albeit a bit snug in the mid-section. There was a little pinching in the shoulders, but as the suit was broken in, the pinching diminished or I became accustomed to it.
There is plenty of storage in/on this suit. The suit feels very well made (just like other Olympia products I own). And, though it takes some practice to get in and out of the suit, once you get the feel, it's a breeze to get in and out of.
We had a chance to ride in some rain for a few hours on the trip. The suit seemed perfectly waterproof to me, though when we were finished for the day, my t-shirt was a little wet in the mid-section. I'm still not sure if it was attributed to rain or sweat, so I have few concerns with riding in rain with the suit...but, I'm still going to pack my rain suit just in case.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I hope that I can offer some input on this suit. I have logged 40,000 miles in the last 3 years in it. I agree that you really have to focus on zipping the armvents to prevent leakage. One too many times arriving at work with wet arms is frustrating. The abrasion resistance unfornately I was able to test when I lowsided at 50 around a corner covered in gravel from a dump truck. I bounced off a guardrail and don't have a scratch on me. Riding above temps of 85 is not suggested although I have ridden this suit in 100 + and it is survivable if you don't stop, and don't mind sweating. All in all it is a great suit and has it's minor downside of seepage in the arm vents. I am 5 11" 180 and the Large fit me like a glove. It is warm when it gets cold and it has done everything I have ever asked of it. Now the only thing I have to do is buy another one.
Yes, I recommend this product.

im 5'11" 178lbs and the Large is a perfect fit for me. It is good in the shoulders, not too long in the crotch and fits perfect when I sit on my bike. It does not look puffy when standing.
Pros: lots of pockets, waterproof zippers, really high viz, easy in and out, bib in crotch drains zipper without pooling water, good armor, well built, and great price.
Cons: Lots of Velcro in legs takes time to undo when exiting, arm vent zippers leak slightly if not Velcro ed tight.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've spent stupid money on motorcycling, and I've spent smart money. But the money I spent on buying an Olympia Phantom suit? That was genius money.
Let me start with the only, sole, single caveat: This is not a really-hot-weather suit. Waterproof, windproof and rugged, it is a lot of suit for an 85-degree day, unless you never stop moving.
That said, I live in Vermont. Know how many 90-degree days we get per year?
Like I said: genius money.
Because for every other day of the year--- including, I suspect, a 10-degree, dry-road January day, with liner zipped in and plus-or-minus a heated vest---- this is the suit I'm going to live in.
I know, because I've been living in it since I bought it. Three-hundred-plus mile days, hard rains, 82-degree days, Vermont "summer" days that never top 55, a day when the quick shower turned to hail: stayed dry, stayed warm, got cool or cool enough, and LOVED the suit every minute and mile.
Why did I buy it? Because no other textile suit--- except the one from The Company That Spells Its Name Funny--- is available in unbelievably anti-stylish, day-glo spotlight hi-viz "yellow."
And at the beginning of the motorcycle season, I was out on the bike when a rain squall caused me to put on a new, very yellow coverall rainsuit. I was knocked out by the difference in the experience of approaching every intersection, every pass/be-passed situation, every "Does the SUV know I'm back here?" parking lot moment. I was SEEN. And there is no better feeling in traffic than knowing that, like it or not, the girl texting behind the wheel of the dented Jetta on the left corner of your four-way KNOWS you're there, if only because she thinks that unavoidably eye-catching color is so GROSS!
So I decided that the one-piece suit I'd decided on buying for my commute was going to be hi-viz. Period. For me, this was going to be a big-ticket purchase, and both safety and bang-for-buck demanded the viz.
Between The Company That Spells Its Name Funny and Olympia, there was no question. For one thing, twice the price would only get me the suit from TCTSINF: no armor. A TCTSINF suit may be the ultimate, but I'm never going to find out until I win the lottery, and I can't afford to throw money away on lottery tickets.
The Phantom offered me a vented suit with full zip-out liner, knee, hip, elbow, shoulder and back armor/pads, yards of high-viz yellow, as well as pockets on every part of me I could reach and at least one I can't.
Revzilla even offered free shipping, and both Revzilla and Olympia offer generous return and guarantee policies. I called Olympia to pick those very kind folks' brains about sizing -- at 5' 10 1/2", 180lbs, generally a 42 long in a suit coat, they called me "a classic 'Large'" -- then ordered from Revzilla.
Perfect fit. Didn't even have to use Olympia's clever easy-to-hem feature, which stops the leg zippers short of the cuff, so if you hem you're only clipping hook-and-loop.
At first, I was afraid the thing was too fussy, too much, too hot.
Getting in and out of textile suits, with new, super-grabby hook-and-loop and all those zippers, is an acquired skill, and at first I felt clumsy, hopping on one foot and shaking a leg until I realized that the zippers go all the way up to your pelvis, and when open full length allow for easy in-out.
However, there's an order to which foot, which arm goes in or out first, but once you learn the drill, it's MUCH easier than donning and zipping together two separate pieces, especially if your riding pants don't allow a boot to pass through. Now I jump in and out of the thing so quickly, I don't hesitate to take it off if I'm parking to run a ten-minute errand on a really hot day. It goes right back on in just a few secs.
So I started living in it. Dressing nice for a work meeting and throwing the Phantom on over everything, knowing I can pop out of it with no fuss at my destination. Dressing in swim trunks and a tee for a great day exploring these green hills, jumping in lakes and riding with friends.
Filling the pockets -- did I mention all the pockets? -- with notebook, pen, smartphone, charger, thumb drive, wallet, checkbook, bandanna, sunscreen, sunglasses, gloves, helmet bag, iPod Shuffle, earphones, earplugs, eyeglasses, map, granola bar... and still not filling the pockets. The huge one on the back, my wife says she's claiming as her "glove compartment" for our next trip to the Maine coast.
Yeah. So long, tank bag! I mean, for any ordinary day's journey, my Phantom is now my tank bag, my briefcase, my tent... It's great to strip my '96 R1100RT of all the bags, wrap a couple of bungees on the tail for whatever I find on the way, and take off on a bike that looks like an RS, not an EconoLodge.
And stuffing all those pockets hasn't done a thing to diminish the suit's terrifically comfortable fit. The thing just feels good, kinda like my old leather jacket, but the suit makes the jacket seem like a one-trick pony. OK, you can cut the wind, old friend, but what ELSE can you do? No visibility? No armor? Tiny, ceremonial pockets with not-so-great zippers? Sorry, old pal...
Besides everything I like about using it, the Phantom seems to be a great product in and of itself. Solid stitching everywhere, heavy-duty but smooth zippers, almost-too-strong hook-and-loop that isn't going to wear out this decade. Countless thoughtful design touches, like the back-of-the-neck padding that rises to almost touch my Shoei, a safety bonus that's also an anti-backdraft feature I'm really gonna love after the first frost. Armor that can be adjusted to ride high or low on my old joints. And did I mention that undimmable HIGH-VIZ 'YELLOW'?
Speaking of that color: You may be wondering about the 'cool factor.' Come on: all motorcyclists care about cool, and I don't mean temperature. So, visibility advantage aside, is it cool to look like an electric lime? I'll admit that I've been less than careful about letting the suit drag on the garage floor when I'm changing in or out, perhaps hoping that some scuffage and grit will give the hi-viz glare a little broken-in authenticity. It ain't any less bright, but it does look like it's been somewhere.
I have yet to ride in to winter wearing the Phantom, and I'll mention one speculative climate-control caveat: Just guessing, but I suspect the system that holds the one-piece thermal liner's wrists and ankles in place is going to be a little clumsy, and maybe not so friendly to quick on-offs. But then, how likely are quick on-offs for a warm suit in November? So this may be no problem at all.
Which brings us back to the heat. Like most motorcycle clothing, the Phantom is overwarm when the day is overwarm, if you have to stop moving for any considerable length of time.
And that's why -- given my 110-percent positive experience with Olympia's product and Revzilla's service -- I'm saving up for the Phantom's lightweight edition, the Olympia Stealth suit. It'll probably be too light for most of Vermont's riding season, but those few scorching days'll be gloriously cool.
Let me start with the only, sole, single caveat: This is not a really-hot-weather suit. Waterproof, windproof and rugged, it is a lot of suit for an 85-degree day, unless you never stop moving.

It ain't any less bright, but it does look like it's been somewhere.
I have yet to ride in to winter wearing the Phantom, and I'll mention one speculative climate-control caveat: Just guessing, but I suspect the system that holds the one-piece thermal liner's wrists and ankles in place is going to be a little clumsy, and maybe not so friendly to quick on-offs. But then, how likely are quick on-offs for a warm suit in November? So this may be no problem at all.
Which brings us back to the heat. Like most motorcycle clothing, the Phantom is overwarm when the day is overwarm, if you have to stop moving for any considerable length of time.
And that's why -- given my 110-percent positive experience with Olympia's product and Revzilla's service -- I'm saving up for the Phantom's lightweight edition, the Olympia Stealth suit. It'll probably be too light for most of Vermont's riding season, but those few scorching days'll be gloriously cool.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wear a Gerbing Heated Jacket. Does this suit have any kind of opening or port to run the cable through?

No it doesn't have a hole/port to snake in a cable. I have heard that some people actually cut a hole to do this.Age: 45-54

Answer:
Hi Bob. I have last year's version of this suit. It doesnt have ports for wires for heated clothes no. I dont know if this year's model has them however. I had the same question and if you do searches online, you'll see where some have created there own holes by burning holes in the fabric or paying to have the suit altered.Age: 35-44
