It's clear that, for whatever reason, you don't like Rapha.... or that it's unsuitable is clearly not right.
I do like Rapha, mate, a lot. I appreciate the brand and what it's done for British cycling promoting the history...phuck me I even own a lot of their gear.
However, you won't find anyone serious about performance on a bike wearing their stuff and if it's pissing it down i'm going with my Gabba and if it's 35-40C (not uncommon here in Italy) I'm going with a much lighter weight jersey and if it's TT simulation I'm going with something a lot more aero.
