Olympic Mens Touring Jacket Sizing

[art miller]

I am looking at Olympic jackets and reading reviews seem to indicate the sizing tends to run large. I am 5'10" and weigh t48lbs. Sleeve length for shirts is 32" and waist 31". Do any of you road warriors have experience with the sizing of Olympic jackets compared to other brands. I wear a Medium in all the jackets I have purchased over the years but no experience with this brand. Thanks.

If you mean Olympia--guessing you do--the sizing is whatever you find right in other brands, in my experience. They don't seem to run large or small. I have an older Airglide set, pants and jacket. My favorite gear for most weather. The jacket liner is comfortable and looks good alone off the bike. In fact, I use it as the liner under my other jackets if I need one.

RevZilla, for one, is great about returns if you need to exchange, IIRC. I believe they sent me a mailing label to cover return shipping when I had to return something.

Thanks Mike. RevZilla has the Airglide 5 on sale but they are sold out of Medium. Their customer service people are very good, they said they will have medium is stock mid-Aug and will send me an email when stock is available. They are a good seller to deal with. Have purchased from them in the past.

X2 for the proper sizing. I wear an XL and that is what I wore with my Olympia jacket as well

I've bought all 4 of my Olympia jackets from a local dealer. I try them on and if it fits I take it home with me. You will never get the wrong size with this tried and true method!

I have an Airglide 4 jacket in medium. I am 5' 10" and about 170 lbs. The jacket fits a little snug, so at 148 lbs, it might be just right, It was not a long jacket, hugs around the hips

Thanks for the heads up RevZilla price is 232.99 vs 247.99 at Bike Bandit. RevZilla notified me they will have medium avail. in Aug. I have other jackets and no long trips planned until mid Sep. to Texas Hill Country.

Off this topic, if anyone knows of a good sale on Michelin Road 5's let me know. Looking for 190/55-17 rear and 120/70-17 front. Can't find a price for set under $350. Perhaps winter is the time for tire sales.
