Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

To be fair it was worn more in the hope it would be the perfect weather for it, as wanted to test it out.

As also mentioned I am not sure whether the older models of the jacket had slightly lighterweight material? Anyone know if this may be true?

I've had two, both were identical as far as I can tell. Though I think they might have removed the thumb loop recently. Anyway, it's a "single figures" jacket for me.
