Just stumbled across a 50% off sale of Rapha's women's line. Everything is half off until midnight tonight GMT.

I've got my sights on a pair of shorts and grand tour gloves!

Thanks! Picked up a pair of shorts. Could never justify paying their regular price.

Thank you!

(That was a bloodbath.)

Does anyone know what the inseam is on their women's shorts and bibs? I'm interested in the 3/4 bibshorts and regular shorts, but can't find an inseam listed anywhere. In the pictures, it doesn't look very long (I prefer a longer leg length, 7-8"). Also...how is their sizing? Do they run small like some cycling clothes?

I'm crushed that they were out of the grand tour gloves in Size small. Ughhhhh :( :( :(

it is over:(

Well...I ended up splurging on a pair of shorts and bibknickers. Hope I like 'em...have never tried any Rapha apparel, so this should be interesting. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy some items that I know I would never even consider purchasing at full price.

I ordered the rain jacket. I wish I had it today. My "water resistant" jacket is worthless.

My Rapha order arrived today, and all I can say is....WOW! This is nice stuff, for sure! Probably some of the nicest quality cycling gear I've come across, so far. I hope it feels and fits as good on the bike, as well as it does off of it. I can hardly wait to get in a ride wearing this stuff. ;)

I know! I can't believe how fast the delivery was. And I was worried about the sizing because, although I am slight of chest I am big of bone (and hip) and I was worried about the sizes. All good. Nay, awesome. :)

I might sleep in it.

My shorts arrived yesterday, and I have to say that the quality is excellent. I was surprised, however, at how thick the chamois is. I'm not sure how I'm going to like it, but I'll try things out this weekend and find out. I also got my new Brooks B17 today, so maybe I'll be glad to have the thicker padding while breaking it in. :)

You know, murielalex, I felt the same way about my Etxeondo sbaren bib chamois but it's grown on me and really proven itself worthy! Give it a whirl :)

I got their rain jacket because I was tired of my water resistant jack that decided that it would resist no water. Man is their rain jacket nice. Light weight. Nicely styled, and looks very sharp with the offset zipper. I'm not worthy! It is fitted, which worried me a bit because even though I am small I have a large chest and I just am not used to fitted clothing. It wasn't raining today but was very windy and cool enough to try it out. Nice jacket! It was extremely comfortable to have more fitted jacket. Duh. I should have realized that a long time ago. I think that I still am not used to wearing fitted clothes after years of wearing baggy clothes to hide how fat I was.
