I’ve got my wife a fair bit of Rapha stuff from their 50% sale (previous years every item was 50% off, though they had fewer items). She has all three jackets (softshell, rain and wind). Having spoken to her about them the Rain is the best all-rounder for the reasons Regal gave, however it oddly gets used the least. The softshell for when it’s really cold. Wind for when softshell is not needed. And Rain for when it’s guaranteed to rain. If she could only have one it would be the Rain, as one could layer accordingly. (note although she has all in the same size she finds the Rain slightly smaller (go figure), so if you plan to layer up make sure you get the right size).
But as Mands has said, at those prices, get both. It’s only a matter of time until the women’s sale goes the same way as the sample sale (as in they get rid of it), so you should get in now!
