Olympia Airglide 4 Over Pants
Quite possibly one of the most versatile and rider friendly pants on the market, the Olympia Airglide 4 Pants are the latest design iteration of a pant that has been a staple of multi-season riding for years. With a tough 500 denier Cordura and Ballistic Airflow mesh, the Airglide 4 Pants can be worn by themselves or over your regular pants depending on your application. The removable waterproof rain liner can be worn in the interior of the pant, over top or by itself to allow complete versatility of a pant that already sets a high bar for utilitarianism. Full leg zips on both layers allow for easy on and off with or without boots on and the adjustable CE rated knee armor ensures you are properly protected.
Features:
- Outer shell constructed in 500 denier Cordura fabric with Ballistic Airflow mesh panels
- Waterproof over or under rain pant
- Full side leg zippers extend to waistband
- Removable and adjustable height CE Motion Flex armor at knees
- Cool mesh airflow lining
- Removable EVA compression foam at hips

Great riding pants for mild to warm temperatures.
This is my second pair of riding pants, I needed a new set because my Sedici pants were just too hot even with the liners out. Olympia Airglide 4 provides plenty of mesh for those hot days. I can wear them as over-pants or, not to be too personal, I have worn them with just some Powercool Boxer Briefs and it is nice to feel the air in the high 80s and low 90s temps. Pretty good investment in my opinion.

4000 miles in 100+ temps
A West Coast Heat Wave coincided with our launch date, late August, California to British Columbia, Canada. A 4000 mile round trip. For 8 strait days, temps were 100 plus, from sunrise to sundown, and twice reaching a consistent 109. Also, due to a rookie mistake, I ran out of gas in the middle of the Mojave dessert, 32 miles from a gas station, baking in the direct sun like an ant under a magnifying glass.
We rode 600 miles, 400 miles, 500 miles, and 300 mile days. We liked to be on the road by 6:30 in the morning and we didn't stop touring until around 4, 5, or 6 p.m., so I spent a lot of quality time in the Airglide pants.
The Olympia Airglide Pants were a lifesaver. I never took the pants off due to heat. In fact, they protected me from the sun, no sun burn, complete protection, and cool legs. Even when I ran out of gas in the Mojave dessert, and spent an hour searching for gas, I never too off the pants. I never felt the need to remove them.
I bought the Olympia Airglide 4 pants to use as overpants. I wanted to be able to zip them off, throw them in a side bag, and go touring around town in my jeans or shorts. Due to the excessive heat of the day, I only wore Underarmor underwear, under the Airglides. It was nice to have some protection and be cool at the same time. An extra plus was that it was supremely comfortable.
On our return trip we headed to the coast of Northern Oregon and found relief from the heat. Early morning cool temps were so welcome, I can't describe the feeling. I put on my mid weight long underwear, my jeans, and the overpants, it was perfection. I still had the liners in my saddlebags if needed.
My waist is a size 36. I bought a 38 because of my intended use as Overpants over my jeans. The fit was perfect.
In summary, the pants are an extremely versatile piece of gear providing knee and hip protection, abrasion resistance, they provide warmth, coolness, a rain/wind liner, and comfort.
btw - I ride a 2003 BMW K1200RS, it has a full fairing with excellent leg and wind protection. It surprised me how well these Airglide pants worked behind the fairing.
I can highly recommend this product.

Not really on over pant
To start out with, I contacted Revzila customer service to inquire as to if this could be used as an over pant. Their response was absolutely, oder your normal size waist measurement and it will work just fine. No, not accurate.
I ordered my size and it is a very tight fit over street pants. I would've sent them back for a larger waist size but that would've put the length too long to hem without getting into the zipper. Which brings me to my next point. With the rain liner in and your footwear on they are a bit difficult to put on. Yes they have a nice long zipper, but don't forget if you leave the rain liner in, it's not easy to get the pant on and off.
Havnt hit the wet stuff yet so I don't know how waterproof they are.
Even though it is not advertised to keep ya warm, it did a very good job. Provided you had enough room to slip a pair of thermals under your street pants I bet they would get you through some pretty cold rides. With the rain liner still in of course.
If you can, spring for a next level waterproof over pant. I don't, so I will have to get skinnier or live with them being a bit tight.
Revzila makes it a point that Olympia pants have a special portion of hemability . Well if you look at the pant, there is a tab that you pull to tighten the fit. You'll have to have that re positioned by the seamstress or loose it. As well as losing a little or a lot of the other velcro closer at the bottom. Just a little something not mentioned in the review.

Best Mesh Pants on the Market, Rain Liners Bite
This is my third pair of Air Glides. The first 2 pair lasted me 5 years each before the zippers finally gave out. I would have gladly given a 5 star rating if it weren't for the new liner pants which really suck. Luckily, I still have the old high quality liner pants, which have full length side zippers and can be worn separately without embarrassment. If the Airglide 4 is your first purchase in the line, you will love them. Just realize the liner pants have really gone down in quality. Happy Trails!

Speed, Style, Comfort. Let the air flow!
I waited until I wore these for a while before writing my review. They fit true to size, I ordered my pant size and they fit spot on in the waist, but are a bit long for me. I know Olympia says they are "easily hemmed by your cleaners", which I may do some day. They are not overly long, so probably will keep them the same. The Velcro at the cuffs is amazing, long, and does its job. The knee pads keep wandering to the inside of the knee, not sure why. After I get on the bike I move and twist the knee pads and lower leg of the pant to the outside, then the knee pad tends to stay where it needs to. I got the pewter color, a really nice change up from everything being boring black, to go with my Airglide 5 High Viz jacket and they look terrific together. Now I am stylin'! Front pockets are generous size, great zippers with pulls you can grab with your gloves on. Rear pockets are a but small but I sit there anyway, so they remain empty except for some emergency cash that I tend to forget is there. The side zippers go up to the waist, so eazy on, eazy off. No loner the one legged butt kicking contest to get pants on and off. These pants flow a ton of air and have no thermo liner. I was looking for a summer, chilling morning, every ride kind of pant to wear over jeans and shorts, so these fit the bill. Now for the BEST PART...the rain liner goes over the pants!!! Thank you Olympia! Why doesn't every manufacture do this? I keep the rain liner out, and just jump into it when needed for a really chilly morning or a rain shower. On, off, that easy. I no longer hesitate to pull over to slip this on. The same with the Olympia Air Gide 5 jacket as well, same over, under rain jacket. Lastly, high quality materials throughout. Its like someone who actually rides have used these pants and refined them through out their evolution! Bottom line, I wear them almost every ride and forget they are there. Enjoy1

Initial Impression - Wow!
Fit -- Spot on. I wear a 32/32 in jeans. I ordered the size 32 and they were a great fit. The waterproof "liner" fits well under and over the pants. Once I had the pants on with my boots, I had no trouble putting on the liner over my boots and pants (I wore a pair of gym shorts under the pants). The liner went on easily despite having no zipper on the legs. The legs are extra wide with velcro strips to make them more narrow and not flap in the wind. There are adjusters on each side of the waist of the liner so you can get the liner to fit just right.
Comfort -- My first ride (3 hours mostly on small gravel roads) with these pants (without rain liner) was on my 2003 BMW Dakar. It was a sunny day about 75 degrees. I bought these to remain as cool as possible on hot summer days. Let me say that the air flow is unbelievably good (just gym shorts underneath)! In fact on a 75 degree day going 50-60 miles/hour, at times my legs were a bit chilly.
Design -- The pants look good enough so that you'll feel good about wearing them into a store or restaurant. The front pockets are roomy enough to keep the usual things like a wallet, keys, cell phone, etc. The back pockets are a bit shallow. But maybe that's so you don't wind up sitting on the contents in them. The full length zippers worked well. I have a 2 year old Olympia jacket that zips perfectly to the pants.
Protection -- The material seems durable and tough...only one way to find out, and I don't want to find out. The knee protectors are CE approved and comfortable. The hip protectors are foam. I plan on replacing them.
I can't wait to try them in the rain.

Comfort in hot, humid conditions
I bought these pants about a year ago because my armored riding jeans were simply too hot in the hot, humid summer weather. These pants look good enough that I don't mind going to casual restaurants or out to a tavern in them.
If I'm going on a ride longer than an hour, I usually gear up with these pants, boots, jacket, gloves, and helmet.
What a relief I experienced when started riding with these pants! I ride with these pants over my boxers (synthetic...ditch the cotton boxers!) and love it. And no, you don't have to worry about someone seeing your underwear! Cotton is not your friend in any kind of active sport summer or winter. I wear a 32x32 jean, and these fit well ( I bought the size 32). You can feel a ton of air coming through the mesh panels.
The side zips are nice if you're going to wear these as an overpant, but that's not why I bought them. I like the adjust-ability at the bottom of each pant leg.
Fortunately I have not crashed, so I can only say they feel very durable and well made.
Why do some manufacturers insist on having a rain pant INSIDE their mesh pants?? The fact that these pants had the rain pant designed to go on the OUTSIDE was a major plus! Why would I want my mesh pants to get soaked?? If it looks like rain, just stop and quickly slip the rain pants over your mesh Air Glides.
My only complaint concerns the hip "armor". It consists of two foam pads. They're totally worthless. I threw them out and replaced them with Held CE level 2 pads. And btw, I also replaced the CE level 1 knee pads with some Knox CE level 2 pads.

too small!
I currently own a pair of the Airglide 3 overpants in size 36. They fit over my jeans. I am 5'10" 185 lbs and a size 34x34 in jeans. I thought I'd size down to a 34 and upgrade to the Airglide 4 for my upcoming trip. I planned on using them only as pants with shorts underneath, not over my blue jeans. Since it was only a few days before my trip, I did the second day order on a Sunday. Pants arrives Wed? Seems one day late to me......however returning them seems easy. I printed out my return shipping ticket and Thursday they will be going back. The waist is so small I cannot button snap them closed. I don't understand how the size 36 is big enough for me to fit jeans underneath, and the size 34 (which is my jeans size) is too small in the waist to even allow me to snap them closed. The length was MUCH shorter also. On the 36, I have ample length and they drag when standing. I never had them hemmed and there is at least 2" that needs to be removed. On the size 34 I can stand up straight and the pants are perfect length. So my disappointment is not in Revzilla, but in Olympia and what seems to be a lack of consistent sizing from the Airglide 3 to the Airglide 4 pants. I'll just live with the Airglide 3 pants. Olympia lost out on a sale and I would be hesitant to order again from them again which is too bad because I like their products. Thanks Revzilla for the painless return system you hace set up.

Stay protected and comfortable.
I wear my AG4 pants to commute and cruise around town. I also wore them through the MSF course. I have not had many hours riding with the AG4 pants but they have lived up and surpassed my expectations. The rain liner is a welcome feature and negates the need to buy a separate rain suit. There is not thermo liner like that on the AG5 jacket but as an overpants you will be covered when wearing your favorite jeans. I have not used the rain liner yet but I know that will change shortly in the near future.
The styling is pretty nice and certainly represents the sport bike motif. I'm not one to care about what others think so I personally have no problem rocking only this and a pair of lightweight shorts underneath. The fit off the bike is very comfortable and super airy in a nice breeze. The 3M piping gets a knock from me in the style department. Even though the reflective stripe is a safety feature it could have better integration in aesthetic appeal similar to the AG5 jacket. I am 186lbs standing 6'3" with a 34" waist line and 34" inseam. I went with the AG4 36" pants with the 35" inseam to give me comfort as an overpants and they still fit my 34" waist with a belt. With the ability to zipper the AG5 jacket to the AG4 pants just completes the look.
Protect is great and with Cordura in all the right places you will not be left out to dry. There hip protector pockets already filled with foam and the foam can be replaced with CE rated protection of your choice. The knee armor is CE rated and fits well when placed in the proper slot for your body frame in the riding position. I don't even notice the armor when walking around and that is while wearing my Alpinestars Ridge Air boots. The fact that you can zip the AG4 pants to the AG5 jacket cannot be understated. I wear a belt with these pants and I employ the zipper to ensure that the AG5 jacket will not ride up in a slide.

Hadn't really had riding pants until these arrived, so I don't have much to compare for some of these features. I wear a 38 and bought a 38 and they fit well. I bought them for a 6 hour ride and wore athletic leggings underneath. I also have a big faring that blocks much of the wind around me. The ride was on a 85 F degree day in CA and the pants were very comfortable and airy for the journey there and another 6 hours on the way back two days later. The pants have lots of pockets and zips to keep things safe on your person and the ventilation is top notch. I'd say they were even on the cool side when I started riding back early when it was in the 50s.
Luckily, I didn't get a chance to test out the protection, but the fabric is very tough and the knee pads were in good riding position for me when they arrived so I didn't move them.
Sadly, when removing the waterproof layer, I pulled on the pants and tore off one of the fabric velcro loops that hold the two pants together. It can be sown back on, but be careful to open the loops before tugging too hard. It's nice to have that layer, but it's not often that I need it.
Overall, good pants with great airflow for hot days on the road.

Needed some pants that I could use that flowed more air. I really like Olympia products because they are well made, well thought of design-wise, and fit great with my experience from previous purchases

Purchased the jacket first. Impressed with the functional design and quality, expect the pants to be the same....

Does the Olympia Airglide 4 rain liner have full sippers up the side of them to allow for easier access. According to Revsilla's description both layers do? What I've read so far they do not. Please clarify.
BEST ANSWER: The main pant has zippers full length. The rain/wind pant doesn't. It is very generous in the circumference from the knee down, with Velcro there to fold it over and hold it tight. You can wear the liner on the inside or on the outside of the main pant. I am finishing up a vacation from Tampa FL to Homer AK for the last 6 weeks. The liners for both the jacket and pants have been on and off, inside and outside, for the last 4 was since coming into Canada. Used for warmth and rain. I also have the Airglide 3 pants, and the 4's are just so much better with the capability of being able to wear it on the outside (not having to take off the pants to get the liner in and out). I wear the liner on the inside for when it's cold, or if it's going to rain all day, and on the outside for the cold mornings when I'll take it off by 10 or 11, and for those rain off and on days. They can be taken off/put on on the side of the road.
Hope this helps

How do these compare to the MotoQuest pants in regards to the airflow?
BEST ANSWER: The Airglide have much more mesh, maybe as much as double the amount. The airflow is great. On cold mornings or days, I can put the rain/wind liner over until the temps rise. For me, these are 4 season pants.

I have a 33" waist so would it be best to go with the size 32, or move up to the 34?
BEST ANSWER: Although i failed to mention, i bought them on the smaller side because i plan to wear the waterproof liner on top rather than inside. I tried them on with Jeans, with liner on the inside, at the boutique store and they were snug but comfortable.

Does the waist have adjustment tabs so you can tighten it depending on what you are wearing underneath?
BEST ANSWER: Nope. It does have pretty big elastic panels though. If you try them on and they seem like you need a belt without anything underneath, they will stretch over a pair of jeans or something else. If you try them on and they will stay up without a belt, you might need to go up a size to fit something underneath. I can fit a pair of jeans under them, but I have to take the belt out of the jeans. and I can't use both top buttons on the pants. Hope that helps.

Will the legs fit over a pair of ADV boots like the Alpinestar Corozal?
BEST ANSWER: I have the TCX EVO boots for riding. The pants fit over them with plenty of room to spare. I use the velcro adjuster to tighten the fit after I put on my boots. Hope that helps.

Will these work with the Airglide 3 jackets?
BEST ANSWER: I don't own the 3 jacket, but from what I understand the zipper is the same as the 4 so they should.

How well does the waterproof liner fit on the outside of the pants?
BEST ANSWER: I've found that it is a very tight fit but it is possible to get the liner over the outside of the pants. The problem is that the liner does not unzip/unbutton/unflap or anything like that at the top and it is tighter than the pants (as it is designed to be worn on the inside). Some days I just can't get it over the pants, others I can, just depends for me.
These are great pants for the money. I've not found any that are more versatile than these.

Will the zipper that connects these pants with a jacket, work with the Olympia Airglide 4 Jacket?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, they are designed to work together. The only problem is you'll have to have someone else zip it up in the back, I've not been able to get it myself and doing it first makes getting them on very difficult to say the least. Riding with them connected pulls the collar tight on my neck, but it might not for you. Have fun and stay safe!
