It used to be that I swore by Rapha jerseys, especially the Pro Team and more lightweight ones.
And I liked their socks, and found their caps comfortable.
But in the past 18 months I have bought more than I ever have before, and ridden in Rapha more than not.
And then today I finally wore the Rapha Pro Team bibs after I figured my last pair of old Assos had reached the end of service and that perhaps I should embrace these new bibs I've owned for a while.
Damn they're nice. So nice that I've just ordered a lightweight pair too.
And that's it now, bibs, base layer, jersey, gilet, rain jacket, wind jacket, socks, gloves, cap, all Rapha.
I have gone full Rapha.
Not sure when it happened, but it's happened.

I guess their stuff really is nice after all.
