Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I have one. Its the nicest cycling jacket I've owned. Although I dont have access to a rapha store to compare it to one there.

The embossed rapha logo on the collar is somewhat faint, and I have finally managed to locate a slight mark. But had I bought it from a rapha store I wouldnt have noticed these slight issues.

All the relavent seams are taped, the fit is exactly as my PT jersey, and I'm sure the materials are correct. I rode for 3 hours in gale force winds with just a t-shirt under in perfect comfort.

I suspect its a slight second. Not that I would have complained if I'd bought it from a rapha store. I only went with the EBay version because they had the nodder yellow.

Thanks to all who've given feedback. Positive opinions duly noted and PTJ now ordered.
