Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I keep a pair of jeans at work just in case. typically I never need to use them

Can someone answer a question that has stopped me hitting buy on many different 'cycling trousers' but especially the Rapha trousers.

If you intend to wear the same trousers on your commute in work, as 'cycling trousers' would suggest you do, what do you do when it rains? Do you always carry a spare pair of trousers in case of rain? This defeats the point. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. The last thing I want to do after cycling 20 miles is work for 8 hours in sodden trousers.

Wouldn't cycle in my rapha trousers in the rain. Don't want to ruin them.

I dont think any trousers, cycling or not, will be comfortable or not sweaty after an 18 mile commute.

I also quite enjoy sitting naked from the waist down as nobody can see below my desk.

saucy

Frank Bough style.

So I have to have a pair of jeans out of action at work at all times, just in case?

I meant those times when it doesn't look like rain but then it does rain.

This is true.

Now we're talking. Sign me up.

once you have your cycling trousers all your other jeans will become moth-eaten from disuse anyways.

I'm not buying into this hype. Well I was. But now I'm not.

I'm impressed you'd cycle 20 miles in trousers.

Moths don't eat cotton. Especially with added "essence of nut sack".

Just went to the shop and tried to get a windjacket to fit in a jersey pocket. Is the garment now a windjacket as it does not stowaway as easy anymore as I was under the impression it would?

shoplifting is illegal you know.

I thought creasing the garment was.

I agree, and I don't commute in my city trousers, but I have been caught in them in serious rain, and they dry incredibly quickly. (They bobbled damn quick, and their unique polycotton blend is warmish, but it's an impressive fabric and I'd buy more.)

Mine's an older one, but it folds down enough that it will comfortably and completely fit inside the smaller middle jersey pockets, even with a CO2 pump in the little sleeve that's also in that middle pocket and I hate having over stuffed pockets.

The stowaway jacket and classic wind jacket are the same product, they've just renamed it.

My commute is only 6.5 miles, so not Rapha epic, but I cycle in my city trousers with no issues. Very comfortable. I have a pair of jeans at work in case of rain.

The trousers seem to work better with synthetic undies, as the harder wearing gusset pad isn’t the most breathable material, so needs something that won’t absorb all the ball sweat. The "3x Dry” material works well for transferring moisture.

Does anyone know if they do soya milk at the cafe in Brewer St?
