Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

joggers >>>>>>>

I'd rather run in the rapha. Miles more stylish

Oh god don't start this again.

p.s. both rapha and nike are pretty high on the sports goth tech ninja vibes. Pity I can barely afford one, let alone both.

£350 for a running jacket is pure lolz. If you're cold, run faster.

#rep for the sentiment, but it's a rad jacket quite apart from its supposed use.

I like flashy shit, so sue me.

It'll end mid-belly, if that's a look you want to rock when running then go for it.

This. Unless you're out for hours and hours in the middle of Snowdonia you're just wasting money.

I need money. Can you give me some?

ah come on the rapha clearly looks better?

@FFF if I win 111m on the Euromillions tonight, I'll buy you some kit

@goonz different jackets for different uses ennit

@umop3pisdn did you use the jersey, long sleeve or the convertibile jacket?

Using a consumerism thread for a good cause. Do something against Ebola!

Short sleeve with nanoflex armwarmers. More flexible than the long sleeve.

Worth waiting for the Pro Team Winter tights (£200)
or just going for the winter tights(£170?)

I understand pro ones have padding where as the standard tights require you to wear your shorts underneath

Does anyone have Assos arm warmers? What size is the rapha Medium equivalent?

The race cape will be shite for running.

It'll grip your shoulders (for teh aeros), which will make it ride up and down as your arms swing. Ride up and down your midriff that is. As its designed to jut fit when youre bent in 2.

.....Unless of course you run bent 90 degrees forward, and with stationary arms.

If thats the case go for it.....

I have Assos arm warmers. They awesome, very warm, although very tight. I haven't tried Rapha to compare, so that's useful.

I have Assos arm warmers and Rapha arm warmers. The Assos are size II and are a very snug fit. The Rapha are size large and are if anything ever so slightly loose. So I'd say Assos size II will be roughly equivalent to Rapha medium.

had rapha arm warmers in dull white with black stripe. they were good.
sold them and bought exciting hot pink dhb warmers as a replacement. also good.

much happier nao.

The race cape is designed to be worn in an on-the-bike position so won't be good for standing up/running. It'll be far to high at the front and tight across the shoulders and chest.

FINE I'll buy that Nike jacket then

Pity I can barely afford one

Easy fella...calm down...

So I just read that Paul Smith is selling a cycling cap for £100. Is this a joke? Sorry if a reep but I missed it.
