Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Pro Team Jacket is a great bit of kit. It is warm but I've worn it with just a base layer before.

PTJ is just as warm as, if not warmer than, a gabba ime. (it is fully fleece lined, although granted the lining is quite thin). its performance in the wet is not as good as a gabba

it's still a great piece of kit though - good in cold, dry weather (coupled with a heavy base layer and buff)

Was chatting with a friend last night & he said a colleague had managed to get a Rapha x Palace cap for himself, but couldn't resist seeing how much people would buy them for on StockX. Ended up selling it for more than a hundred quid's profit, crazy.

Yeah I got a few things, tempted to sell my cap, saw they're going for £150, mad.

Ha! Sarcasm Fail.

If you’re flipping any of it via stockx be aware of the luxury import duties in addition to all of their fees. Sold a disgusting pair of Nikes and the fees totalled 28% of the sale price

I got a Rapha x Palace none duck Jersey from Palace in a medium... for which I'm far too fat, anyone got a L they want to swap it for?!?

I will buy it from you for half price

I decline this option

Srsly tho, anyone on here who bought any of that stuff pls stockX it, don’t actually wear it. Buy bikes with that money.

Will buy the accessories for RRP...

The hype has died down. You’re too late to StockX

I have nothing, i gave it all away. I had asked specifically not to post pics but some didnt get the message cc/ @Sumo

I only have these left

You don’t work at Cannondale

lads............. brown?

brown?

Yes, I am.

what's the deal with gore-tex infinium? how is it better/worse/different than shakedry?

https://www.gore-tex.co.uk/technology/infinium

Looks like they're marketing it as more windproof than waterproof, Rapha as say it's water resisitant. Shakedry should be more waterproof but less breathable.

Sorry for the dredge. Got a pair off this recommendation, great length, really happy. However, after a few rides the silicon/elastic in the leg has started to come away at the seams. One off or have you had similar problems?

I’ve got 5 pairs and all been fine -worn regularly and washed carelessly - they offer a lifetime warranty against failed stitching etc so you should be able to return for replacement (not expecting them to have in house repair setup like the old rapha days)

Is the brevet insulated jacket any good? Looking something I can layer up or down through most of winter. Currently weighing up Brevet vs. core winter jacket.

It's probably my favourite Rapha piece. Pretty warm for it's weight and breathable enough

Took longer than I expected tbh

Thanks for the reply!

How do you find the sizing? I'd normally be a Small but reviews suggest sizing up

I'm a small too and have the jacket in a small. I'd say if you expect it to be normal brevet or "club" fit then maybe size up. I think it's true to size to my other small stuff and a bit looser than some of my PT stuff (small race cape, gore tex jacket)
