  • Anyone else find their caps a really poor fit? I've tried 2 different styles and they're both really shallow [insert obvious joke].
    In other news I had to buy a Castelli gilet because I have too much Rapha and feel like a tit.

  • I did find them a bit shallow, but I eventually got used to it and feel pretty normal, despite it's shallowness, it's the most comfortable cap I've ever worn, especially on a 600km ride (handwash it every night to rid the sweat).

  • Icebreaker do them

    link/shop? I couldn't find.

    sexist

  • is Ed going to start inserting members of the allium family in men now?

    He did type 'shallow' and not 'shallot'. :)

  • sexist

    homophoic probably.

  • Does anyone use the Rapha boxers?

    I thought I'd be clever and use my Icebreaker merino boxers for riding in but they've worn through after two rides. (Despite lasting years of abuse otherwise.)

    Are the Rapha ones comfortable and do they last?

    Did about 100 miles per day for 5 days wearing them (fresh pair each day, in case you're wondering). A bit of nappy cream on my cheeks, all day comfort. (Did that sound like a menstrual product?) I love them.

    If you decide to try them, then be certain to get the size right so that the pad won't move around. I have medium shorts / trews from them but the correct pants size for me is small.

    Xenophobic - making fun of my poor grasp of English language.

    This - I think the reason I found mine so uncomfortable was because they were a size too big for me.

    tsk.

  • You see? Reported.

  • Thanks for the answers.

    I did check their sizing guide and it recommends going for a size smaller than you usually would so that looks like the way forward.

    Cheers!

  • Sorry to hear about the shallow fit of the caps, I was going to buy a large one but seeing as my head's like an orange on a toothpick it'd probably just pop off the top. Hmmm.

  • link/shop? I couldn't find.

    Mrs D4 got some from Field and Trek

  • Price, but pricey.....

    That's gotta be a mistake...

  • looking at the models face you clearly can't buy happiness

  • £238

    For that.

  • yeah BUT it's like made of imported wool spun by butterflies circling a Bhudda's head in a Japanese Zen garden......FFS get with the programme!

  • So they make Rapha look pretty reasonable...

  • Does anyone know if there are any discount codes hovering about right now?

  • Very reasonably priced....

    I was talking to one of the fellas in the mobile club van thing a couple of months back about these cups. He said they've seen the demand for them and that they're about to start selling them general release through the website. Reckoned they'd be £10 per cup...seemed a bit reasonable to me, but I do hope it's true. Would leave some pretty miffed ebayers out there.
