• Sadly, my favorite cycling jacket ever, my PTJ from 2015 is starting to fall apart after years of winter abuse ... This is truly an amazing piece of clothing, easy to layer whatever the weather between November all the way to March. I think @youramericanlover has similar feelings about this jacket.

    What should I be looking to replace this with? Rapha/Albion or other suggestions welcome!

  • Ha this happened to me this morning! I took it off the drying rail and thought something was funky about it. It permanently honks, it has just been worn so many times. I did get a backup off ebay tho.

    The best replacement for it (well it has been for me) is an Albion LS jersey and their insulated gilet. When it's below 4 add a ss baselayer, and jersey and gilet I think replicates the warmth and flexibility. A kinda pricey alternative but their library archive sale has most of this in your size atm (I only say this as you sold me a frame so I'm guessing we're they same size) and there is strava code knocking around that you can add to it I believe.

  • Okay thank you! I've got all of this so will keep things cheap. I found the jacket great for commuting though as a lazy option as you just put it in with a base layer and it works from - 2 all the way to like 10 ish and has some rain resistance

    Massively second this.

  • Looks like nice kit. Jerseys etc seem to be all polyester though, how would you say they compare to the Rapha merino/poly mixes (or better to the older all Merino Rapha jereseys)?
