My experience of Rapha kit:
Winter hat: bit small for my bonce, plus the mutt took a liking to the hard peak and chewed it off within about 3 days of owning
Neck warmers: now have two, red and 'Moroccan' blue, very nice, stylish and do the job
Arm warmers: I wouldn't know, I had them delivered to me at work, I put them in the car, took them home and haven't seen them since. It could be the mutt again
Pro cycling mitts (white): good gloves but don't bother getting them in white, it goes a very unpleasant looking grey/cream quickly and Rahpa supply a fiendishly complicated washing instruction flyer for their leather, whish tells you to buy a bar of Rapha soap and Rapha leather treatment ointment, which has managed to put me off washing them ever.
Fixed shorts: ok but not well tailored for me, plus the buttons to do up the bottom have weird spacings so I can either have them loose or as a tourniquet while my lower legs turns blue. Have been replaced and essentially retired after buying some Swrve ones
Classic sofshell: utterly brilliant, can't fault it
Anyone tried their winter gloves yet? I think they are only available in black, thankfully
