Ha ha. I run hot, but don't get that sweaty so maybe that's why I get on with it (so far).
More importantly, Rapha jackets seem to be a bit more flattering. Castelli makes me feel a bit lardy.
It's almost as if the Rapha designers know that most of the PT stuff will be worn by MAMILs.

I prefer the cut of Castelli on top - and I find it more comfortable. The cut of the PTJ (it is the earlier version) is weird - I have pretty big arms and shoulders for a cyclist (sprinter), and yet it's still really baggy around there, and loose around the neck. Which is weird, because the more up to date PT stuff fits me reasonably well. It's not for me obviously.

I probably sweat more than the average cyclist, which is why I get on with the wetsuit 'warm and wet' Gabba, instead of the PTJ. It just irritates me that it's billed as a 'jacket for fast winter training' when it's actually pretty rubbish for anything tempo or above (it's probably fine for chugging along in z1/z2). The espresso jacket really is excellent though - warmer than the ptj and yet also cooler because of the vents.
As Dov says - horses for courses.
