Whether your next adventure takes you on road or off, Olympia’s Dakar 2 Dual Sport jacket delivers the ultimate in multi season, multi weather riding comfort. It’s fully equipped with removable insulation plus an over or under rain jacket. This unique “Three Layer Systems Design” allows you to customize function by simply adding or removing appropriate layers as needed.

Layer One consists of a rugged out shell cut in authentic Cordura nylon with ballistic mesh panels for maximum airflow and superior abrasion resistance. Six external pockets, two interior pockets and an oversized waterproof back pocket offer multiple storage options. Additional features include a cushy neoprene framed collar, side waist adjuster straps and reflective detailing at the chest, back and side arms for increased visibility in low light situations.

Layer Two consists of a functional AquaRes laminated rain jacket that can be worn over or under the main out shell as weather conditions dictate. A stow away hood with a rubberized neck gator conceals neatly inside the collar and fits comfortably under a helmet. The neck gator provides full circumference waterproof protection as needed. Additional features include 3M Scotchlite reflective piping at the front, sides and back plus side entry pockets and an interior stash pocket for stowing personal items. Need to lighten your load – no worries as this jacket pulls double duty as great looking stand-alone sportswear.
