The best trick Rapha has pulled off is whether they love it or hate it, people talk about it. And there is also a simple truth when you filter out the faux-sufferfest, retro-euro panache-aping marketing: it's good kit (pink gilets aside).
On a side note: just dug out my pretty much unworn Planet X long sleeve merino base layer. It has thumb holes in a stupid position and the sleeves only come to my west anyway: I presume this is so you can hook your thumbs in and get through the tight arm of a long sleeve jersey?
And does Planet X's merino range in general deserve a mention here? Don't have any myself apart from the base layer but it looks decent.
