Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

They have plenty of better riders. Better riders that look better in their gear and aren't fat, sweary, drunkards with a penchant for destroying kit and whinging about shit that doesn't work.

I've bought most of the expensive stuff already - bike is almost finished, luggage purchased, sleeping kit bought and then not used...

Hence LFGSS sponsor ;)

Nearly everyone here has a potty mouth.

London's Fucking Great Slurred Shitheads

I'll have a look at it. I hate this stupid race - it's summer so hot as fuck everywhere but then altitude there's snow. I mean, how the fuck am I supposed to pack for that when after 10 years I still can't even work out how to dress for a ride here.

Sportful NoRain Hot Pack jacket. Very good, small, light.

Was going to say, Gore Bike Wear do a really good one: http://www.goreapparel.co.uk/gore-bike-wear/men/one-gore-tex-active-bike-jacket/JROFOC.html

But that's more expensive than the Rapha and also out of stock.

I bought the best rain jacket.
Rab Flashpoint.

Pertex. 160g. Hood.

It's mint. @hippy Packs down to a fist.

£200? Out.

Sounds nice though. <200g

Is it warm enough?

I.e not Aussies ;)

What size are you after?

And what size would you be in gore? Can you squeeze into M? They are not as snug as rapha pt.

Can you squeeze into M?

Ugh .. be happy to donate mine virtually unused if you can fit into M .. can bring to central if you want to try or just walk into any Evans @hippy .

Do you use the hood? Does it detach? I dislike riding with hooded jackets.

Unlikely. I think my clear rainshell that I bought for 24hrs is a Medium but I wouldn't use it for this. It's squishes kinda small but it doesn't breathe at all. Not sure how warm it is and being tight it wouldn't fit my down jacket underneath.

Y u no Flipjack?

It's not like the Rapha one, the endura is for casual riding.

One review said night not be up for heavy rain?

Not being cycling specific, does it have a long enough back?

For me it's fine.
But all personal.

Idro? Spendy but crazy small.

So many materials! eVent, 200 variations of Gore Paclite this and that, Pertex Shield #meltdown

What is the sizing like on the insulated brevet gilet?

I am a small in pro team stuff, and have a classic gilet and classic wind jacket in x-small, which both fit fine. Saw an an x-small insulted gilet on ebay for cheap so took a punt on it... hoping size down from PT stuff will fit ok like on the classic gilet and WJ i have... am unsure tho!

Should be fine.

Thanks D!

Anyone got a discount code?
Want a pro base layer in white, so I can look all euro and stuff .
