Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

My big, fat, Greek, rapha wedding......

Liking it

I still want that hat

Does anyone have a discount code?

so you wore 3 pairs of socks for the day?

my ride was 3x as epic

I haz rapha gift voucher in Christmas haul, I need a cycling jacket and cannot decide between the bomber jacket and the rapha + Paul smith city rain jacket. Can anyone offer any insight that may help me decide?

I have a bomber jacket and it's great for very cold rides, otherwise it's far too warm. No idea on the PS jacket but probably would see more use as it looks a bit thinner

friends has a PS jacket and it's very nice - I am jealous of it. IF the bomber is anything like the softshell then it's like riding in an oven at anything above 4 degrees

The sizes available for the PS jacket a pretty limited. Not sure I'd be interested in a purple jacket either

Cheers for the advice guys

I've had bomber jacket for a year.....it is very nice, exceptional quality, but more suited to commuting,as opposed to actually training or leisure rides.....smart casual. I wear it off the bike a lot though

I had the (older) Fixed jacket and it was very, very nice but I found it a little bit too hot almost all of the time.

I now have the PS jacket and it's really nice. It seems well made and is well vented to stop overheating. The drop down rain tail looks a bit like a pink nappy but it does what it's supposed to.

Harry's one is black with purple lining?

< insert vom here >

Would that make one a Rapha Bell-End?

I quite like that it's bright and visible and not flouro yellow.

Still bought the black though....

Colour remind me of the Endura/Altura jacket we sell in our shop.

cool story Ed

Hm. Lack of secret codes disappointing when considering bankrupting myself for comfy clobber ;)

You've just missed them all - there was a pre-Christmas flurry to help prevent Christmas Day disappointments but I don't think there'll be anu for a while - not whilst the sale is on anyway.

It's all leading up to the sample sale now.

Ta ;) no point holding out then.

Behold the Stench Jacket of Doom..

No fucking pink/purple here, Chop.

ha ha ha, you make up for it with the colourful language Hippy.

I have the fixeh jacket, which is what they used to call the bomber jacket. It's really good, and at £110, I think very good value. A year later it's still in good nick.

I use mine for commuting and riding around town. I can't really imagine wearing it on a proper ride, but it's not really designed for that anyway. I always wear a jersey (with layers if it's cold).

What do you want a jacket for?
