The right model Olympia pants are usually the ones currently discounted or or on closeout.
List  price to list price the Olympia line doesn't provide much of a value to the Stitch.  I have the X Moto overpants as an example.  At $349 I would have been better off just paying the $400 and getting the Dariens but at $175 closeout I got value.   That's how I've bought all of my Olympia gear
Yeah.. me, too. I have 2 Olympia jackets to cover 4 seasons. Both are really good. I may still go with the Dariens.. everyone knows they work.

Chuck, if you are a 48S.  I have a one pc Roadcrafter reasonably priced.  ;-)
Might need new armor.  Old ones might be dust.

keep the old still useful protective gear....add a Goretex overpant w double zips when it's  rain...easy on and off compared to a liner inside your pants

Any Goretex or breathable gear needs a proper rinse and bath in the right treatment, not soap...

Huge comfort differences, and cost, between a coated nylon (like a garbage bag) and breathable materials.
