Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I literally live in mine .. its fucking great. Was keen on the pack rain jacket but it says it uses the same material as Core rain jacket .. the #buyer in me will never allow anything 'core'.

Nice. What colour do you haz?

Blue from last season. I had a look at the stripy one, the material isnt as nice as the one I have (might be season specific). Stripy one is more glossy.

Got one too on @amey recommendation. It is great, in fairness. Packs up nice and small and looks decent off the bike too.

for reference it went into one of the outer pocket of this with spare room for my wallet ..

More 25% off emails... just make things 25% cheaper and save the emails guys...

Cheers. Good to have a review outside of @amey and his rapha confirmation bias.

What's the "essentials case" that it comes with like?

this is a bit vulpine no? (tongue in cheek)

same material as the jacket, same size as other essentials cases ..

25% for answering one question. I wish all tests were like this.

I answered 5, because 5.

Thanks Sir.

I don't have any friends who don't wear Rapha*, so I gave them a 1.

When his dimension data contract is up he'll join the fold, unless shutt vr bring him in as a key influencer.

(I literally only just remembered shutt vr existed. they were like vulpine before vulpine, but I don't think I've seen any of their gear in the wild for years, surprised to see they're still about)

I bought a Shutt VR jersey off him back when I was 90kg #TrueStory

@pastry_bot was the Rapha early adopter, he's so over it now. He was buying that shit when most of you still had a credible hairline.

How on earth did he end up with something that would fit a 90kg you?!
Also how on earth did you end up at 90kg?

he was buying it when his beard was longer than his hair.

No chance Amey was ever 90kg. That's more than me and you're half the height.

Think of all the rapha he bought on his journey from xl to xs. serious buying practice.

I think I used jersey downsize twice and was XXL in Castelli .. @Grand-Wizard-Goma-Sauce is under injunction otherwise there is photographic evidence.

(eyes fill with tears as I start to reminisce...)

Seriously no one remembers when Amey looked like DJ Khaled?
