Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

If you're not going to be in an aggressive aero position, you'll probably find the Race Cape too short up front. I tried one on and it's a beautiful piece of design, but it's very race-specific. I have the Rain Jacket, which is a little longer and better suited to the kind of riding I suspect most of us here do.

cheers man! that really helps, as I was kinda thinking the same thing (though through methods of deciphering internet banter/marketing guff rather than trying the stuff on tut) as the recommendations for the cape come from a lean mean machine. I'm neither regularly aggressive, or aero and for the benefits of anyone sharing a road with me, cautious of anything "pro", though the PTJ looks lovely, as do the bibs. so, i'd be persuadable..

I like the RJ red also!
