  • Previously when I made an order it didn't give any options other than Standard. Looking at the comment below, it would possibly tie in with this.

  • They might have turned the options off during SALE to minimise disappointment

  • Pro Team socks - which length should I order regular or long?

  • My order was evidently delayed because the item I paid for and was showing as in stock wasn’t. A bit of 2ing and froiing and I got my voucher back with a tenner on top. Just ordered some sale stuff which arrived after a “live chat” along with an extra cap 🧢... !
    I’ve still got my rapha postcards and new season clothing booklets that they used to send out. Not a massive range back then.

  • Long. Regular are too short for me, long ones just short enough to not look like daft TT ones.

  • Arenberg glasses. Are the bronze lenses any good? I need some new specs and these look pretty bargainous.

  • They might have turned the options off during SALE to minimise disappointment

    I take it is just me that has had a delayed delivery for sale items. I received an email informing of despatch >2weeks ago. Hermes site doesn't have any information saying that they are still waiting for my parcel.

    They issued a refund, items were lost.

  • Have you asked customer services?

  • Edited as above.

  • Guess it was Hermes? They really are shit

  • The ones I have are a very tight fit, so maybe consider sizing up too?

  • Simply cannot get enough of this rapha shadow jacket, spoke about it before but the more I wear it the more it amazes me,

    Wind
    Rain
    Shine

    Riding through the Shropshire hills all weekend it would vary from stiff breeze and rain to sunny and quite warm, just left it on the whole 140 kilometers, didn't matter (even on the climbs). Breathed when it needed to, stopped water when it needed too, all I did was zip it up and down half way occasionally.

    Fit is so trim even with a anti bonk stack of food stuffed in the jersey pockets

    While friends were stopping to take layers on and off the jacket kept trucking, never leaving me uncomfortable.

    I'm sure at the extreme wet and the extreme hot it would be an issue, but for the temperamental British weather? Perfect.

    never thought such a price tag would be justified for a seemingly niche bit of kit, but here we are.

  • Is this the lightweight shadow jacket?

  • Yes, "PRO TEAM LIGHTWEIGHT SHADOW JACKET" is the full rapha name

    Below is how a medium fits (6' 63kg) pose slightly frumpy at the realisation I'm now going to have to climb out of iron bridge

  • looks flappy

  • Looks like a size too big, I'm 6'1 & ~85kg and I wear a medium. No flap. Unless I unzip from the bottom.

  • ~65kg here and wear small mostly

  • Pass the bucket...

  • Hip flask is a shark jump moment? Like the olive drab though.

  • ' Is that a sturdy pewter hip flask with a design inspired by Vietnam, contoured to sit comfortably at the hip -- or even on the thigh in a cargo pocket on your bib shorts -- or are you just pleased to see me?'

  • A technical, reflective cotton twill patch jacket for round-the-clock adventures.

    Fake patches. Very Hot Topic. Do not want

  • I did the whole of Dirty Reiver this year with a hip flask in my cargo bibs. Can comfortably fit a much larger hip flask in than that.
