Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

+1 on emailing them. Customer Services are very good. They might well refund / replace as they care about their image / service.

Back to the Rapha Classic Softshell Vs. Swrve Milwaukee.
Which is the most waterproof?
And does anyone want to swap a Swrve for a softshell? :)

I haz 2 Milwaukees and would never wear either of them for cycling. They somehow manage to be too hot but also draughty (not in a breathable sense). And as for the hood, well, you can't wear it because it blows off - so it just sits there as a massive wind-break that you can't see past. One also has a faulty zip - albeit usable. I love Swrve stuff and they are great for off the bike - I'm just not sure why anyone would ride in one.

I'd swap both for one softshell! ;)
