Hello folks,
Yes Rapha is good gear, overpriced probably, but really it's all about men having a midlife crisis.... I include myself here as I've just turned 40 and will fess up to having one of their scarves in my Rapha arsenal.
I have two Solo equipe jerseys and have been wearing them since it got colder over a merino base layer. The thing I like about them is that you get the brilliant qualities of merino but it has a polyester outer layer which means it tough. It is good quality merino - the same as Howies and
unlike Rapha the company have good p.c. credentials.
Happy shopping...
Peace,
Tim
