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.

I was greatly impressed with the comfort and fit of the suit.
Personally, I've always been skeptical about one-piece textile suits, however, when Olympia stopped by a few weeks ago to show us their pre-production model, I had an opportunity to try this on. The Odyssey boasts 6 storage pockets, of which the exterior are waterproof. Combined with a side-leg zipper that reaches up to the hip, this makes entry with boots a breeze. The main zipper extends from the neck to below the waist, diagonally. On the outside, a heavier DWR coating is applied to encourage water to bead and roll off, completely bypassing the waterproof liner all together. This process reduces bulk and improves fit. The interior liner is now laminated to the outer shell as opposed to a zip-in mesh lining on the Phantom.
While the shell is completely waterproof, a series of zippers allow for direct venting when open and keep water out when closed. Constructed with an astonishing 2000D Cordura shell, which is interspersed with 500D Cordura for mobility, the Olympia Odyssey Suit is the ultimate in abrasion resistance. Sold as a replacement to the Olympia Phantom, the Odyssey evidences several leaps forward in technology.
