Good place to try/buy Olympia gear in MA/Southern NH?

[schleppy]

Time to get some touring/cold weather gear!

I'm really torn between the Phantom one piece suit (which I've tried on and liked), and the AST/Ranger combo. I would really like to try both on back to back to get the best idea of fit/feel. Can anyone recommend a place that would have both in stock around souther nh or eastern ma? Am I dreaming? I would prefer to buy in NH for obvious tax-free reasons.

I've been riding in two piece leathers for a while (which have only been unzipped once, so it's essentially a one-piece suit), so I have no issues with that aspect of the Phantom. My main concern with the Phantom was the overall fit. The XL was pretty good, but I feel like I'd prefer the flexibility of getting different sized jacket/pants so I could get the best fit possible.

Any input on both where and what you think I should get would be appreciated.

Thanks all!

I have a 2XL Phantom if you want to try it on. I love it. Its warm when you want and cool when you need. And visable!!!

I tried on the 2X last summer and it was definitely too big. I'm 5'10, 36" waist, 30ish inseam. The XL fit almost perfectly, with the top being a LITTLE loose (good for layering). Hemming the legs up a bit would make it perfect.

Any downsides to the Phantom that you can think of Bruce?

Thanks though!

I know 2nd wind BMW/Triumph in Merrimack, NH had *some* Olympia stuff. May want to call and see before you make the trip up as they didn't have a huge selection.

The only one is that leg ventilation isnt there so sitting still legs sweat a little. When you are moving its good enough and you dont notice it. I really like it alot. Not much bad to say.
