Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

2012 I think, have they changed the cut?

Yep, massively.

My first generation PTJ is cut much smaller than the more recent ones.

No, just search Rapha rcc on Instagram, there are lots of pics, the Club Jersey is top draw

Got my PT Racecape... I'm not sure it's really what I need but it is very nice. Barely fits over my winter jersey, which is what I live in during the cold months, which are also the wet months I'll be needing a racecape. Oh woe is me with first world problems.

I downsized when I bought my new one. Had a size medium previously which I could wear over my PTjacket for deep winter

This time around I went with small. I can only wear a jersey and arm warmers now. The jackets pretty skin tight

Will need to get the hard shell for winter lol

I went, didn't really find much I liked and it was all a little too panicked Black Friday style madness for my tastes, in fact I think I'm starting to go off Rapha! Thankfully I only walked out with two new camelbak/Rapha bottles, which were a fiver a piece.

Just been to the outlet store , nice & not too pricey ,purchased
Pro team bibs & brevet Jersey , was tempted with a hard shell for £130 but decided I'd probably only use it 2-3 times a year

I walked out with PT bibs and jersey, Deep Winter tights, a Winter jersey and 2 winter baselayers, all 50% off or more, which I was super happy with. I'm blessed in that I can fit either a S or a XS, so was quite a lot on offer in my tiny size.

Speaking of which, HOW FUCKING GOOD is the Winter Jersey? The fit! The pocket layout! The vents! The material choice! Plus, with a merino roll-neck baselayer I feel fancy 💅

and a little warm...

was using that combo in deep winter but pretty hot for any other time i reckon.

Wasnae too bad for me today, vents open and jersey zip down on the climbs but otherwise alright. It gets fucking windy on the top of the escarpments arounds the South West. I'd rather come back sweaty than end up cold.

Winter Jersey yeaterday!? You're mad. I do absolutely love mine for when it's chilly though.

Depends when you rode. It was pretty chilly at 6 a.m.

Should've bought that like new, worn twice rain jacket off me instead ;)

I didn't know it was on the market. Have you still got it?

I've been raving out the WJ for a while now, it's really snug but not too hot for me, provided you make judicious use of the vents.

Only thing I wanted is a lighter weight jersey and the only one I could find didn't have a price on it, and didn't bother checking.

But in the words of le Schwartz, I'll be back...

Anyone been to the outlet store at Kilver Court? What sort of discounts are available? Greater than 10%?

50% or more off at Kilver Court? What is this false God? It's heresy I say.
We must re-purify ourselves. All together now:

"Our Rapha, who are wrought in N7.
Hallowed be thy signature armband detail.

Thy new collections come,
Our credit card will be done
On your website as it is in your Cycle Clubs.

Give us this day no daily discount code.
And facilitate our desire to FKW,
As we forgive those who wantonly mismatch your jerseys with inferior shorts.

And lead us not into Richmond Park without at least your bibs, base-layer, jersey, soft-shell and gilet.
But deliver us from the evils of coveting our clubmate's Grand Tour shoes.

For thine is The Suffering,
the B&W photography and the Glory.

For Ever and Ever.

H-van."

You need a hobby ^

Cheers!
