With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to consider hot-weather riding gear. Once the mercury is on the rise, you don’t want to once again face the same old dilemma: stay cool or stay safe.
That’s why Olympia Moto Sports developed the one-piece Stealth Mesh Tech Suit. It offers full-body protection in a practical, breathable package. Designed to be worn over street clothes, the suit can be put on or removed while wearing riding boots in about 20 seconds. Three heavy-duty YKK zippers—a diagonal front torso-to-knee and one on the outside of each leg—provide secure closure. Velcro at the neck, wrists, elbows, waist and calves ensures a comfortable, snug fit.
Outer shell construction is 500-denier DuPont Cordura with ballistic airflow mesh panels under the arms, across the chest, back and thighs, behind the knees and over the shins. CE-approved armor at the elbows, shoulders, hips and knees, plus an articulated back protector, offer impact absorption without hindering movements. Five zippered pockets—four exterior and one interior—provide storage for smaller items. There is also an inside cell-phone pouch.
Suitable for both commuting and touring, the Mesh Tech provides such exceptional airflow that we needed an insulating layer on cool mornings. Available in two color combinations—pewter/neon yellow or silver/pewter in S to 4XL sizes—it’s the next best thing to a Speedo for beating the summer heat.
