I'm having the same thought. Thinking about replacing my two piece Tourmaster with an Olympia Phantom one piece.
After riding a one piece 'Stitch for years, I'm now riding a two-piece 'Stitch. It's merely "ok". I keep threatening to get back to a one-piece. If I could justify the cost when my two-piece is completely servicable, I'd be back in a one piece in a heart beat.
Again, it's an individual preference but my choice is a one-piece.
I do like the Olympia in the Fall and in the Spring when the weather is colder
I do like the Olympia in the Fall and in the Spring when the weather is colder. I find that often with the two piece riding suits i get a draft up my back.
I haven't ridden much in the rain with the one piece suit, but i think that it might be better in inclement weather.
[U]There is no way that you can convince me that it is easier to get into or out of a one piece rather than two piece.[/U]
The seperates are much more comfortable IMHO.
Can you wear electric gear under the suit? If so, how do you route the power connection?
Totally agree w/Steve.One piece positives:
- More comfortable
- Easier in and out
- less bunching of material at waist
- better/easier lower pocket access
- less weight
- sleeves looser near zippers
One piece $887
One Piece negatives:
- need to carry jacket
- slightlier bulky to store
- minor crotch leaks if not treated often
Two-piece positives:
- no need to carry spare jacket
- crotch leak far less
Two-pieces negatives
- when separated pants too loose
- sleeves at zipper very tight
- difficult to zip pants
- front jacket pockets difficult to use
Two-piece $937.
Just my opinion.
I have had the Olympia Phantom one piece suit for about five years now. I am able to wear my electric jacket liner under it. There are two zippers (an upper and a lower) on the long closure in the front. I route the power cord out through the bottom zipper and it works great.
What about the controller for the vest? Does it route through the same zipper?
I have my controller mounted on my bars near the fairing. I have only the one cable from my heated liner and I plug it in alongside the seat.
