Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Is refer a friend no longer working?

It was shut down a few months back I believe

This.

Simple wind jacket is plentiful, especially in August.

Thanks Ed

I don't own a Hardshell or Wind Jacket but on related note:

I've worm my Softshell perhaps half a dozen times this winter. It's just not been cold enough. For me it's only useful around 4°c or below.

Wind jacket has been a revelation for me. Not ridden it in the rain yet though.

Agree my softshell only came out about a week and the winter jersey only about a week.

Not been cold enough at all. Thankfully.

It hasn't got cold enough this winter for me to wear my hardshell imo, I concur that the rain jacket with layers underneath would suffice. Though I would say that the rain jacket probably isn't worth the money unless you want the style points, its nice...but pricey

A mate just put a link on FB to the snide Rapha stuff on Aliexpress, you know you've made it big when the far east are ripping you off.

Rain jacket is perfect. Packable enough that I use mine as a wind jacket as well.

Left my leather town gloves on the train. FUMING

That's the problem spending huge sums on easily loose-able goods.

I will be selling my Rapha XL Cream Rain Jacket (the one with the grey band on the arm).

Worn like 5/6 times.

£90 PM if interested.

Sample sale £12

Still FUMING

So new sky stuff is out again...

The Club Jersey is nice. As is Brad's beard.

the 'rapha' letters on my pro team bibs have all but fallen off,

any decent way of putting them back on? I need everyone to know I'm wearing rapha not endura.

Hmmm I thought it was just mine that did that. Good to know, in a way.

Drop an email to customer services I guess.

The Rapha lettering on my arm warmers is still going strong after about six years of heavy use yet the lettering on my leg warmers lasted two rides/washes.

I think there's some quality issues that need to be sorted out.

My arm warmers lettering fell off pretty quickly off one arm. Dont have any leg warmers.

Karma*

*sample sale bargainz ;)

Epic fail, after repair

Good to know, won't be spending £50 on those then!

Do they still keep your legs warm? #suckitup ...

On a more serious note I would imagine there is a lot more muscle flex on your legs that arms whilst riding which I'd imagine would cause anything that isn't sublimated on to fall off pretty quickly?

bike fit? should be wearing evenly on both sides ;)

Yeah, they're really good and I wouldn't mind of they didn't come with the logo but when you're spending £50 on leg warmers, bits shouldn't fall off.

I'd love to blame it on muscle flex but realistically, it was the washing machine.
