I roll my eyes when Rapha jump into mnt biking, surprisingly it was not as expensive as their route stuff. One time I found a sale on their stuff and bought a merino top 50% off, I found the quality to be outstanding. I was so impressed that I then decided to buy their trail pant at full price, I literally worn them for two years on fall and winter rides and still look like new; I even used them for hiking. I have the trail windblock jersey as well and I find it very well design for those chilly days, the front panel keeps the wind out well the back breaths well. I have also found this jersey useful to run on with on windy chilly days. I find Rapha to be a great value on the long; definitely not cheap but if you wait for their sale their value is even better.
