Olympia X Moto 2 Jacket

PAR Éric MénardPosted on

Olympia manufacturer has been around for 15 years and has grown steadily to become an important player in the premium riding apparel segment. Founded by moto travel enthusiasts, Olympia is now distributed by Canadian distribution giant Motovan.

Guided by its core values of always using high quality components, the Olympia X Moto 2 Jacket utilizes Olympia’s clever 3-layer system to accommodate changing weather and conditions.

Layer One – consists of a rugged 500D and 2000D Cordura shell that is equipped with a vent panel system allowing a constant air flow in warm temperatures. It includes a zip-off integrated backpack with a 2-litre hydration bladder, six external storage pockets, two interior stash pockets plus an oversized waterproof back storage pocket, a cushy neoprene framed collar, side waist adjuster straps and 3M reflective piping detailing at the chest, back and side arms.

Layer Two – consists of a fully functional AquaRes laminated rain jacket that can be worn over or under the main outer shell as weather conditions dictate. It is also useful when the ride is over and you want to go for dinner without having to wear a padded jacket. A stowaway hood with a rubberized neck gaiter conceals neatly inside the collar and fits comfortably under a helmet. Additional features include side entry pockets and an interior stash pocket for stowing personal items.

Layer Three – consists of a removable full-sleeve thermal layer with Thermolite insulation and an interior storage pocket. This layer can be zipped into the main out shell or the rain jacket shell as needed.

Other features include:
• MVS Mega Vent Panel System at chest, back and arms
• Removable CE approved Motion Flex armor at elbows and shoulders
• Removable CE approved Motion Flex articulated back protector
• Custom Fit detailing at collar, cuffs, elbows and waist
• Eight storage pockets plus oversized waterproof back storage pocket

Designed to coordinate with the X Moto 2 the X moto pants offer a 2-layer system design and an original mega vent panel system to maximize airflow.

Made of the same 500 and 2000 denier Cordura fabric as the jacket, the pants have full side zippers extending to the waist and removable and height adjustableCE approved amor at the knees and EVA compression foam at the hips. A cool mesh airflow lining helps cool the rider on warm days.

3M Scotchlite reflective piping from waist to hem help for visibility and an 8-inch connecting zipper allows zipping the pants to the jacket for maximum weather protection. Bottom hem cut is made to fit over on- or off-road boots and the rain pant liner can be worn over or under the outer shell.

Pants: $429.99
