Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Crazy, I've got about 8 pairs and they're the ones I wear when all my others are in the wash.
Won't go into detail and put anyone off their Friday takeaway but I don't find them very supportive...

loved this perspective Reminds me of ‘omg! a double rainbow!’ have you seen that meme/vid? it’s a great dig at judd.

Where's the generic jersey thread these days?

I'm going to have to stop wearing the ancient Rollapaluza jersey for everything but what can I replace it with? I want comfort fit, like I'm wearing a tshirt, but still with pockets in the back for my wallet and phone like a normal jersey would have.

I don't want super aero bollocks and I don't want super expensive because my jerseys go bush bashing and get torn up with thorns and all manner of shit all the time. Basically, I think I want a merino top but with pockets, similar to my DHB one I got off Wiggle cheap. Problem is the pockets stretch to fuck on merino jerseys right?

Oh, I want it to look plain as fuck. I want to look like a "normal" not a fucking throwback from the 80s peloton and I don't want to spend £8000 on some influencer olive-coloured PNAS/"penis?" (you know the stuff) kit.

What's a boring, growing, exploring boy to do?

The Albion merino top but with 'normal' jersey pockets. I mean, the Traverse does look kinda cool but I'd lose shit with 6 pockets :D

Torm ?

7 mesh in the sale?
Liked the alpha jacket/infinium jacket I bought from them, see they do merino stuff (or they did when I last looked)

How does that Albion look normal? It looks super tight and short.

Decathlon is usually good with pockets, this one has 2 zipped ones and some merino panels and available in XXL.

I have an older version of this one since 2021 and it's still fine, I only carry a phone and card wallet in the pockets so nothing heavy.

That's the jersey on the same page. I meant the merino top.

Endura do Hummvee tops with pockets that might fit the bill

The red ones at the top look loose and comfy but then the product info seems to show an super tight aero jersey on the bloke. They look like two different products.

Something like this? https://www.futureproof.life/products/mons-royale-sample-mens-cadence-merino-air-con-t-evergreen-midnight

Howies do one that looks functionally what you're after but they only have one colour and it's fucking dire.

Why are you going into shops you don't like?

Trim fit which I guess is not super tight as there are skin fit ones too.
There’s the Ashlu jersey and one of the models looks like he has an appetite :-)

I have the complete bottom row of that photo, and my Raeburn jacket is still BNWT. So no full house claim of “bingo!”

Lol, what is this? The Deliveroo collection?

They seem to have taken them off their webshop but the Pearson merino jerseys were reduced to about £40, are quite nice and the pockets don't bag.

might be worth calling the store to see if they still have any

the view when you turn around on Q1 by Millwall to check if anyone is following you to mug your bike

And what was wrong with Stay Outside For Longer?

Spot on.

Stay outside for longer, now where have I heard this before?

I guess we can look forward to the Rapha Aesthetic Apparel Powerhouse collection come spring :|

Yes that’s disappointing.

Especially as simply ‘BE OUT THERE’ is much stronger.

"WHY DON'T YOU GO OUTSIDE AND DO SOMETHING LESS BORING INSTEAD?"

And a much better acronym.

Mum said I had to be back for tea or straight to bed with no pudding.

since when did this forum become the hi-vis brigade? I thought "looked on here" was basically 'wearing all black'.
