If I’m not in jeans ( less and less now) ,shorts or walking trousers I’m in my Rapha Technical trousers .
Once upon a time, lightweight , well cut , well made semi smart pants .Cycling friendly with reflective elements , zippered pockets all reassuringly expensive but quality and long lasting … good value on a cost per wear basis .
However , changes to the cut , quality and fabric ( it feels different), reduced number of zips meant my last 2 pairs purchased were returned, recent reviews on the Rapha site chime with my opinions .
So , I reckon I’m not alone in my sartorial disappointment, so what alternatives are there ?
I’ve tried Lululemon, not a big fan , any good ideas ?
All new names to me , apart from chrome , thanks .
Sad a lot of decent off bike merino stuff has disappeared too.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
