Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

would buy (obviously)

Wind jacket, lightweight gilet, gilet, pro team lightweight wind jacket. All the jackets!

Would buy.

Jacket wearing pussies.

I descend mountains wearing nothing more than a thin smear of vaseline and a faint smirk.

Srs tho, how many grams difference do you need to distinguish what's already a lightweight, packable item from another?

The blitzfeder srsly beats my Rapha Sky ride brevet gilet when it comes to high tech.

But the Rapha was surprisingly good in Belgium last weekend.

Make of that what you want.

Not grams, but pack size.
Pack size > (in imporance) gramms

Needs moar vaseline.

You're frequently in Belgium of a weekend these days? Pourquoi?

Nope first time since Bradley won the Olympics me thinks.

But yes after Eupen into Maastricht I was surprised that I was in Belgium again on leaving the town.

Anyway you should probably open a Delhaize in Glasgow.

My bad, I must have confused other galavanting for Belgian adventures.

Already looking at what i can sell to buy #buyer

Fucking black.

Out.

Racist

Just wish theyd go back to making stuff for folk that want to ride outside of brightly lit capital cities.

Pro-mute wind jacket....

i just wish the sleeves and legs would stop getting longer. Stay away from my fucking elbows and kneecaps.

The legs are getting shorter!

My thermal bibs rub behind my knees.

Cant blame rapha for my stumpy legs though.

Tried the new onesie on today, it's a lot harder to get into than the old one, but better thought out I think.

Also, it's harder to get out of than into, entertainingly.

Every 2016 Rapha Aero* product is smaller than the previous Pro Team series.

It was funny, I did wonder for a few seconds whether I was going to have to ask for someone to help! I had the top undone, and just starting to slip down over my shoulders, but it wouldn't go any further - and you can't reach up and pull, you have to just apply gentle pressure outward and hope that the top starts to come off rather than tear.

Unless there's a technique that I'm totally unaware of for this one. I did notice that pulling the waffle section down past your upper arms made a big difference, it's not very stretchy, and therefore clamps around your guns extremely strongly.

Yup - I thought I was going to have to cut the chicken-wire sleeves off my arms, as not only were they far too long, they were so tight and un-forgiving that I couldn't actually move my arms for fear of my (not in anyway as significant as id like) biceps bursting them open with the slightest of arm use related muscle tenses.

The only redeeming feature was that the zip on the front now completely undoes top to bottom and opens as if on a separate jersey.

And that it looked #pro as fuck when I managed to get it on.

Even if I did look like rigor mortis had set in my upper body.

Filth.
