  • Probably because they'll be bought in (from Luxottica I'd guess) so the margins will be smaller.

  • 20% Discount for anyone that wants ..... SC15-8ME8
    Spend wisely ..

  • ^Spend frivolously, its only money

  • does anyone have a Rapha lapelled jacket they'd like to sell? Either in a small or a medium

  • yes, i'd seen those, just thought i'd check on here before biting the bullet

  • I'm going to wear my dataprint aerosuit on an audax.

  • ^pics or it never happened.

    I've only seen one person wearing dataprint, and it looked like an XXL ;)

  • Size small. Pics to come, will PM if still interested.

  • Wore a blue lapelled jacket today. Really like it. Worth getting a olive one too before they disappear?

  • Same size as jersey or need to size up at all?

  • If you're talking to me about the lapelled jacket - I went with jersey size - small. Had to get the cuffs shortened.

  • OK I'll admit... I picked up that 20% code and bought the headphones. For the turbo. What a twat. Anyway, they are more tolerable than any others I've tried - I'm really irritable on the turbo (mega promuter watts is serious business) and get pissed off with everything around me - earphones/headphones usually get thrown on the sofa in anger early on. These stay on without noticeable clamping, my ears didn't fill with sweat, they're light and the inline remote is just about chunky enough to use. It's nice to have only one cable, though none would be better. They sound pretty good (yeah...on a par with real hi-fi headphones half the price) and block out the noise of the Kickr. Feel a bit of a tool for buying them but they do the job well and didn't get consigned to the sofa.

  • That's a lot of pattern

  • bit the bullet and got the one from the 'bay as they take returns so I can always change my mind.

    That rear zipped pocket, not really my style. Is it super obvious/ugly?

  • How does that jacket size?

  • That rear zipped pocket, not really my style. Is it super obvious/ugly?

    The pocket is quite discrete. However, be warned, unless your arms are gorilla length, the sleeves will be a bit long for whichever size you're buying. I guess the fit was designed to wear on a bike at full stretch.

  • Yep, on a bike they work really well, off the bike the sleeves are pretty long. I like mine though. I find the fit is the same as the rest of my Rapha stuff - all large, except for medium base layers.

  • Sleeves are fine for mine, I wear it a lot.

    Do they end at your wrist, knuckles, thumb or fingers?

  • You spent all that so you can use them on the turbo? Fuck me. Who cares about sound quality when you're chewing your bars off? Much better to buy a pair of cheapo Bluetooth cans for that?

    Good luck with the warranty when the sweat melts them after a month.

    Please do keep in mind that this is the Rapha thread Dan.

    My goddamn hearing aids every summers.

  • Yeah sorry. I should disengage common sense every time I load up this thread.

  • I pretty much destroy a pair of 'phones every two months on the rollers. The cheaper the better IMO.
