  • What rapha kit is recommended for winter riding? Have a few rapha vouchers to use.

    I'm trying to ride all through this winter, and I only have summer/autumn kit (leg warmers/gloves/longsleeve baselayers).

  • I think the insulated gilet is one of the best bits of kit still.

  • Deep winter socks got recommended to me if you get cold feet.

  • Do they still make the deep winter base layer? It’s not cheap (well wasn’t a few years ago) but is great for real cold stuff

  • I did a 120km yesterday wearing brevet winter tights, merino knee warmers, merino base layer and classic winter jacket (the old one). Also had an additional long sleeve jersey in the bag in case I get cold but didn't use it. Gloves setup was this nonsense. Temperature was around -3C.

    I tend to run warm though so to each their own but merino base layer is probably the best thing i've ever bought from Rapha.

    Insulated gilet is also a nice piece but I use that for warmer weather - around 10 C or so.

    Knee warmers are also good to combine with bib shorts so you have knee coverage but still have this nice short feeling. I use shorts above 10C and knee warmers in combination with shorts below 10c.
