Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Another vote for Haglofs. I've got the LIM Essen and it packs down ridiculously small.

I also like my second prism, left the first one in a pizza place after not quite having a threesome with a friend of a friend and a woman we met. Too hot to ride in unless very cold or completely lacking in bass layers though, first one was impressively waterproof as far as DWRs go, second one less so but it was secondhand.

Ride bikes in, didn't test it otherwise but imagine similar.

Was a fiver off a month or so ago in the Brighton store.

Was the failed threesome the reason you forgot the jacket? More importantly what was the primary reason the three of you didn't end up together in the dark playing 'who's in my mouth?'

£60 i think it is decent value

Yeah, the rrp (£100+ iirc) is a bit ambitious though so defo one to grab when on sale.

I'm more interested in where I can get me some 'bass layers'. They sound pretty funky.

Sounds fishy to me...

UKG make the best bass layers in the biz bro

Don't suppose anyone has a merino beanie they don't want?

I've managed to lose my 3rd.

I wouldn't say failed, more sensibly decided against, I waved off the other two on the bus then rode home in my jumper, the alcohol kept me warm enough to not realise I'd left my coat in one of the pizza places near where I was, I forget exactly which one.

Remember Oxide & Merino? those were the days

That sounds like a combination guaranteed to void your warranty with Rapha.

I have one I'm not using. Could part with it, PM me.

Looking to swap a couple of Rapha Women's items!

I have a dark purple Rapha rain jacket -medium- that is still in great condition, similar to the women's core rain jacket. If anyone has a black one they'd like to swap? Purple is just not really my colour.

I also have some 3/4 tights in blue but would also rather black - medium

Could swap for a small too?

So on the Rapha website you can buy PT Shadow arm warmers, but the only Shadow jersey is a long-sleeved jersey, so you wouldn't need arm warmers. What the fuck are they playing at these days?

Double bagging your arms, as any true Rapha fetishist would know.

I have shadow arm warmers (they were out of stock of merino ones at the time of purchase) and they work really nice paired with a normal jersey and a rain gilet. Perfect for changeable conditions cause you can pack the gilet and arm warmers away pretty easily.

new rapha shoes drop tomorrow

been wearing a pair for more than a year and if you like the aesthetic they are very, very, very good.

I like fit and comfort, thats why I wear Lake shoes

They fit me and are very comfortable. Might not be to everyone's taste but they are excellent shoes.

Do you have wide feet?

that kind of info will cost you https://www.wikifeet.com/

Are the base/sole of the shoes same as the Giro empire/republic as before?
