Wonder if they're going to offer new Brevet luggage? That roll up bag that fits up front on the bars look interesting

Nice to see high vis pink back tho!!

^nothing substantial for the new releases yet... Waiting for the new jersey colors etc

Anyone experience getting refunded an amount LESS than what they paid?

It's the second time it's happened in the last few months... I think it has to do with the fact that when you buy an item at a higher sale price, when they process the refund, if the items current price is lower than what you paid, you get refunded the lower (incorrect) amount... Im sure it'll get sorted out though.

Neoprene gloves are back in stock and not as pricey as other glove offerings surprisingly

This reminds me to try the merino liners inside my assos rain glove lol

[edit]

Feedback on the overmitts, I think it's been mentioned before, but they leak at the flap on the index/middle finger. They should just get rid of it, doesn't function. Even if you could use your finger to tap your phone or open food, you cant get anything out of your pockets anyways with the overmitt. For me the merino gloves with overmitt worked better than using the merino liners.

Maybe bc my shorts are 1-2 years old. My classic/pt shorts don't have the "golf ball divots" in the pad, the aerosuit did, and it did feel fluffier / thicker to me.

Looking forward to seeing your review on the shadow kit. At the current price point, they're definitely not flying off the shelves like I've seen other new release items in the past. Been "watching" the inventory go down by adding 9999 of the jersey in Medium lol. Only 6 sold in the last 24hrs

If you have a short torso, the Aerosuit fitment may be an issue. Otherwise it's a nice piece. It fits skin tight, so if you are not lean and in athletic cycling shape you will look like a stuffed sausage (Mamils need not apply). The pad is thicker than the Classic bibs.

The Aerosuit is for being aero? Why would u wear something else on top of it? Also, u can't stuff much in the pockets, nothing bigger than a brevet/pt gilet, so ur going to wear a jacket on top of the suit the whole time? Makes no sense. Don't buy it just because of price point.

Buy both sizes, use the one that fits your gear closet best, you have 30 day "Classic Guarantee" where you can use it, and if it doesn't work for you refund it. For the unused jacket you have 90 day refund if you don't use it. Simple =)

Hard to put a temperature on garments, that's why Rapha's descriptions now don't mention temperatures, and in the Q&A portion, the CS reps are very general with their responses b/c everyone is different.

Gah still no new arm/knee warmers in the new shadow fabric :(

Had the RRP been in line with Pro Team jersey & bibs I would have strongly considered purchasing it. I personally hate carrying anything in my pockets, especially a rain jacket. But after seeing the sneak peak on the pricing, that is a tough tough pill to swallow for 2 pieces of kit.

For the same price, you could purchase Castelli nanoflex arm, knee, leg warmers, plus the SS gabba, nanoflex bib shorts, nanoflex bib knickers, and the nanoflex pro bib tights (7 pcs - 3 pairs of bibs, jersey, and all accessories) and still be under the cost of the Rapha Shadow Jersey & Bib.

There were no high res images of the jersey and bibs, just the small thumbnail.

Both pieces were black on black on black on black... lots of black

I imagine it'll be released after the sale..?

WOW... that has to be the most expensive Jersey + Bib short combo I've seen ever.

Does it not feel like you have too many layers tho? Or is it for convenience of washing just the bibshorts and not the full leggings each time?

Winter Tights with or without pad?

I've been wearing thermal bibs + leg warmers but might be time for some tights.

I'm considering the pro team ones with pad, or the deep winter without.

Anyone have either that could shed some light on which is better?

The new material used in the new version of the Pro Team Soft Shell looks interesting. Does this mean the new version is warmer? More Pro Team Jacket like?

If i were to guess, a sale is coming down the pipe :P

Lots of the inventory have been split up by colors (ie// white/black separated from the coral and blue colors etc).. Archive section and most bundles have been removed.

For folks that are "in the know", will there be new knee / leg warmers in the Shadow collection?

I've been holding out on purchasing new ones, but my current knee and leg warmers are so shot they're a bout to develop holes lol. Materials lost all elasticity and little rubber fibers are shedding all over the place!

Fit, depends on your body type. Aesthetics, eye of the beholder. Repair service, sure +1 for rapha!

I'm a huge nuthugger of rapha, I've owned the rain jacket, race cape, and hardshell and none of them breathe at all.

Does raffa have an answer to: http://road.cc/content/tech-news/173319-gore-bike-wear%E2%80%99s-new-one-gore-tex-active-jacket-now-available-buy

I foresee myself selling my black race cape soon...

Everyone's different ... I was fine in 0*C in my PTjacket with a midweight 200gsm long sleeve merino baselayer. You'll probably want to wear a winter collar as well

Thanks Senor_Bear for the explanation.

Question about a "chapter". I thought it referred to the physical cycle club locations, but I guess not?

If there was a cycle club here in Vancouver, I would have jumped on board the RCC membership train long time ago!

Is anyone part of RCC? I am in an area without an actual Rapha Cycling Club location... If that is the case, is the fee to join just going to give me access to a phone app and a web forum?

Can anyone tell me if there are RCC members in Vancouver BC Canada? If so how many?

As for the costs of RCC gear, is it the same price as the regular Rapha offerings?

Thanks

Looks like an updated material. Almost seems like it could double as the PTjacket (with layers?)

Perfect timing! I just ordered a Sugoi RSE Neoshell , my idea was to put that on top of my PTjacket for super cold days.
