![]() ![]() Odyssey’s 5 denier Cordura® shell and seam sealed waterproof breathable membrane enhance it’s function while four exterior pockets keep your personal gear safe and dry. This system offers special water-tight zippers that when open, create major airflow directly to a rider’s body. As temperatures heat up you’ll cool down by utilizing Odyssey’s exclusive AVS shoulder to forearm and torso venting system. Many waterproof breathable suits claim to function well over a wide range of temperatures but their lack of adequate venting limits their use to cooler riding conditions.

Every tailor/seamstress I have asked have just looked at me funny when I asked about getting the legs taken up.Īll in all I love the suit for daily commuting and I now recognise the value of a full riding suit, even at Aerostitch pricing. The ankle cinch bothers me because the cinching strap (velcro) does not go from one side of the zip to the other side, like the neck strap, it simply cinches the back of the pant and doesn't help secure the pant around the ankle, which would be good as the legs of the pants are purposefully long and designed so you can get them tailored, I would rather just have an ankle cinch. The suit has velcro everywhere, each vent, all the zips, at your ankles and wrists, lots of (good) velcro. The only real downsides I feel is the reliance on velcro, and how the ankle cinches up. I would rate it easier to get on then most riding pants. Getting in an out of the suit is pretty easy, each leg has an ankle to hip zip, couple that with the neck to hip zip I can step in an out of the suit while wearing my work uniform and heavy boots. The overall construction is great, the suit looks good (as good as riding suits get) and has sturdy 2000D Cordura in all the main impact/slide points. Ventilation is pretty much everywhere and riding during the day is fine, but in North Queensland and stop start traffic I would think you would get uncomfortable pretty quickly.ĭespite the whole suit costing me the same (if not less) then most of the pants I tried on at Sydney City Motorcycles, the fit in the legs overall, the suit come with Knee, Elbow and Back Protectors and Hip foam pads. So keep an eye out on blanket Ebay deals and you might get a pretty rocking bargain.Įverything I read about the Odyssey was very positive, especially considering the $449 USD price point vs the $1000+ Aerostitch figure, so I took the plunge and bought one from a US store (Perf Moto) via Ebay duing the Ebay Anniversary 18% off sale which brought the price down to $470 AUD delivered.Īfter wearing the suit for about 2 weeks I gotta say I am impressed, the weather protection is top notch, which is great for daily commuters, the visibility is comforting (I got high vis yellow), the fit is pretty true to sizing charts. I have spoken to the owner of Olympia Motorsports about the Odyssey and have been informed that it is no longer in production, I am posting this as I imagine there are people that are interested in a riding suit but aren't too keen of the regular price tag. Well I can't afford one of those so I kept looking and stumbled on the Olympia Odyssey. Hey folks, I know some people really love full all weather riding suits, with Aerostich and Motoport being the big name brands. ![]()
