This is Sarah's Olympia AST Jacket in Hi-Viz yellow in size Small with the liner. It is a ladies/women's cut for a better fit for the ladies. I actually like the look of the ladies jacket a bit better than the man's style as they have black panels along the sides of the jacket and top of the shoulders where a lot of hi-viz gear tends to show the most dirt. That helps this jacket with a much cleaner look and easier to keep clean. She just got a new touring jacket and wants to sell this one.
Overall, the jacket is in great shape. It is still bright and vivid and has no tears or rips and has never been crashed in. It is starting to show a few minor smudges here and there, but I've tried to capture all those in the pictures below. It does come with the full insulated liner that doubles as its own jacket when going out after getting off the bike. This really helps keep your load lighter by not having to bring a dedicated jacket for those cool nights around the campground. I own an AST myself and this has always been something we really enjoyed with these jackets is the liner that can be worn alone or zipped into the jacket. The jacket and the liner are both waterproof.
If you are not familiar with the Olympia AST jacket, this is a very adaptable jacket to all kinds of weather conditions. AST stands for All Seasons Touring and the jacket really is that. The jacket is meant to keep you warm with the insulated liner when the temps drop, but still breathe very well when things get warm. It has full length arm vents that let an amazing amount of air into the jacket along with 2 chests vents that can be adjusted to stay open and 2 vertical rear vents. The venting allows you to stay comfortable into some pretty warm temps where basically only a mesh jacket would be cooler. This jacket is super nice for adjusting to all kinds of weather temps. It is all loaded with numerous pockets through out the jacket and a rear pouch, many of them waterproof. It also has many adjustments on the arms and waist to give the jacket that perfect fit for you. There are some reflective panels on the front and rear so you can been seen at night.
These jackets were around $300 brand new.
Price: $150 shipped in ConUS

The chest vent. You can pull that strap to force it to stay open and pick up a nice good breeze right on you. Once again it has a flap that uses velcro and a snap to fold back to allow the air to come in or fold over to keep the rain out.
