Got eh size L in high-viz yellow/pewter. RevZilla got it here in about a week with free shipping. It fits great, and I love the high-viz yellow and pewter color. It may be my imagination but I seem to notice more people looking my way now. The bonus of having CE approved armor in the back is great, so far Olympia is the only company I've found to offer that as standard. The high collar really does help helmet noise too. The only nits I can pick are that the armor in the elbow/forearm pinches a bit when my arm is fully bent to lift my visor, and the wonderful back armor doesn't breathe as well as it could (oh well). I would have liked to see an ID pocket on the left forearm like my Tourmaster Transition, but otherwise no complaints!

Safety
I have a bleeding disorder which causes my joints to hurt and be injury prone and am looking for some apparel that really will provide the best impact protection in the event of a crash. I ride a GS1200, I need a jacket and pants for a fairly broad 3 season, predominately road with some non-paved. I looked at some of the closesout Shift summer jackets, and some pricier things, also the padded shorts and padded undersuits. Seeing these different items in person would be best, but asking questions is second best. If possible, I would love to hear which items would be recommended in the whole price spectrum. I don't want to get low low end but I probably won't be forking over Klim prices either. Help!! and thanks in advance if you are able to answer this question.
Look at the Olympia AST or Bushwacker jackets. Both are designed for 3-4 season ADV riding and will fit you and your GS well. I have a Olympia Bonneville and love it! Olympia also has CE approved armor throughout (including the back!). The AST is better for colder climates, Bushwacker better for hotter weather.
