Worth is a very subjective
Worth is a very subjective thing…
I love Rapha clothing, they have great attention to little details, such as the mini pump pocket inside the centre cargo pockets of their jerseys and jackets. I lost a very nice Topeak Micro Rocket pump from another jersey before I started buying Rapha, so that jersey cost me an extra £20. The Rapha pump pocket holds the pump perfectly securely and also upright so it is comfortable.
The fit is just right, and the styling – which is a major attraction to me – is understated yet classic with a real nod to early days of time trials and all black kit that was required in the 50’s etc.
The gloves are amazing, and amazingly expensive! I now have 3 pairs, I have built up a good wardrobe of Rapha gear through replacing worn out other brand kit, birthday and christmas presents and some good ebay bargains.
If you do go for a jersey, the Classic Sportwool although the most expensive, does come with armwarmers, has a full length zip and drawcord waist that makes it really versatile from cool right up to very hot days.
