I'd have to disagree with you about the softshell baselayer lol. It's currently my favorite piece of kit.
It's 5*c-10*c with rain/rain showers here in Vancouver Canada, and I wear it with a PT jersey or super lightweight jersey and I'm nice and warm for a 2hr race or 3hr tempo ride.
As for the pad in your core shorts, you can't really judge it without riding in it? Have u ridden in it yet?

Hooray! I like it too when I'm riding, but getting it off when it's saturated in sweat is fucking annoying and requires partial dislocation of my shoulders. The new edition has a zip-do you think this might be why? Sartorial this that and the other aside, it's cycling clothing, for cycling and when you take away the aesthetic qualities, there's room for improvement-which they have clearly recognised themselves with the new version.

This is the kind of banal chat that has me clawing my eyes out. I hope you're trolling, and if you are I tip my cap at you, but I suspect you're not. When it's hot I wear less clothes, when it's cold I wear more, when it's wet I wear waterproof stuff and if it's mixed I might pack a gilet and htfu. Why people feel the need to publicly autopsy every minor and moderate climatic change throughout their ride and match it to the performance of their garments is beyond me-unless you just rode through Hurricane Desmond wearing nothing but Winter Embrocation and a large smile it's really not that fucking interesting.

Please see upthread to satiate your curiosity with regards to this particular question.

Is it complaining to say that the Rapha pad is massive compared to other brands? Or that my experience of removing the softshell baselayer is like comparable to trying to climb out the womb?
I might frame what I say in more vivid terms than other people but I can assure you that's just a personal preference for humour over bone-dry, near autistic levels of obsessive cycle chat to be enjoyed both throughout this thread and elsewhere that for a large part, bores me to tears.
If you'd rather I fuck off and leave you to the daily 'it's 16 degrees, slightly damp and with a 7mph southwesterly wind, so I shall wear x with y, but should I also wear z?' chat I'll happily do so dear chap.
