Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

You definitely dont want tight fitting shoes or gloves in the winter.

I cycled home in thick woolen hiking socks squashed into heavily ventilated Northwave aerators last night. It was fecking miserable.

S'why I'm on this thread.

Are the Rapha winter bib tights warm? anyone?

they are good for down to -5 for me with leg warmers. Maybe even a bit too thick in the back sine they go pretty high up. They are as long as the cross bibs wich is nice and doesnt fit as crazy tight as the regular ones. The pad went pretty flat from about 5 months of sporadic cold season riding though. Not as good as the regular bib one anyway.
