Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Great, spend £240 for a jacket and then spend £5 to tumble dry it every few weeks to keep it waterproof. Anymore costs? Surprised Rapha don't make us pay them royalties everytime we wear their clothing...

You have to do that to every decent waterproof jacket.

Yup. It's just part of basic maintenance. Would you complain about spending £2k on a bike and then having to grease the bearings to keep it working?
