  • Bought a tricolour long sleeve jersey, winter neck warmer and short sleeve mesh merino base layer, because, sale.

  • Bought Rab, namely the Xenon X. Did not regret purchase. Ta for the recommendation chief.

  • I commuted for an hour in rain yesterday and reached home dry and warm in Rab, really good jacket that .. kinda like PTJ but for commuting.

  • how do these jackets compare to the insulated brevet jacket?

  • different stuff .. fit, insulation etc. these are maybe a pricey but nice version of the uniqlo but with Rab's own insulation instead of feathers .. I paid £80 for mine which is quite cheap for a quality insulated jacket, next step up is Arcteryx.

  • I guess I'm asking in terms of warmth/breathability/packability - are they similar?

  • They run a bit large size-wise but ultra toasty and once wet they stay warm. Out in 6 degree weather today (not on bike I should add) with just a t-shirt underneath and almost too warm at times.

  • Experience with the various Rapha winter hat? What would be best for mid tempo to high tempo below 0 temps? Reading the comments and questions I am non the wiser.
    I have a few year old merino one but it is bulky and doesnt stay fit over the ears.

  • the insulated hat is the best IMO

  • Pro Team is decent, doesn't leave a massive line on yr forehead like regular winter hat. 50% off at the mo.

  • Shadow hat, no question. Also good for arctic croupiers

    Glad we cleared that up.

  • Bought a base layer,winter socks and pt gloves in the sale. 2 of the 4 items then went into the 50% sale. This was a saving of another £25. I emailed Rapha and asked if they could help out. No joy from them. They would not price match as I had bought at a discounted price.

  • raffar, y u no put PT rain gilet in salez?

  • Because rainy season so it will sell anyway

  • Indeed. I will just have to buy all of the hats :)

  • anyone got a pair of 32in rapha randoneeee shorts they want rid of in black/ dark grey?

  • I have a pair I've not used with tags but like the other pair I have so much I'm tempted to keep hold of them.
