Have the specialized thermal Alpha from 2019 on it’s way for the same price, should work well with or without something over the top and a decent base layer (maybe even a Santini Alpha one which is literally a fluffy insulation layer)
Not to say galibier isn’t and good but it’s not insulated in the same way and more a soft-shell, the Columbier is probably closer to what i’m looking for.i fully expect LaPassione or Rapha to have a womens jacket in stock a week after this turns up...
Do Rapha ever do polartec Alpha jackets for women? I’m looking for something to keep the Ms warm and the brevet jacket looks ideal but they only do mens. There’s a santini jacket but it appears to only have alpha round the neck. Everything else is £300+ like sportful. a castelli Alpha Ros with the built in liner might do if I can find it discounted enough.
There was a DHB lab one but again out of stock, black (not ideal) and looks like not being made this season.
Everything seems to be either out of stock, not updated for this year and mens only.
