Olympia creates a new category of riding gear

Flex Tech Jacket and Jeans Scores One for the Leather Side

Olympia has a new waterproof nubuck cowhide riding suit that combines fashionable looks with decent ventilation, body armor, and what is reported to be extreme comfort.

The jean like pants are a major plus, but there is something about the jacket design that makes it look like it's been in your closet for years.

I have yet to try this on, so we'll have to hold off on any real recommendations, but this is certainly one to take a look at. I'd be a little happier with hip protection, but that would seriously detract from the "jeans" quality of the pants. Another question is the fake suede texture. Again, I have yet to try this on.

Stay tuned.
