Rapha Pro Team Winter Jacket OG vs NewG

[Too Tall]

I've been rockin' a Rapha Pro Team Jacket for about 6 years. This jacket is far and away the best thing you can put on for winter tempo rides. I wear a wicking undershirt underneath, the jacket is perfect down to nearly freezing/sunny conditions.

Horrors, the fabric finally said uncle. I ordered the New-G version, that arrived so I'm hear to tell you the sizing is bizarre to say the least. Body is made to fit someone half my size and the remainder is spot on perfection. Basically it is a Rapha Winter Waist coat.

Quality is fantastic...if it even nearly fit me. Sheesh.

If you are not Too Tall I will venture to say you will like the jacket.

I find Rapha sizing weird. I gave up on their jerseys - the sleeves were way too long (which is unusual for me) so I had to get them altered but the body was so short it was ridiculous. Same with their shorts - admittedly I've been wearing the XXL for a few years but I would be happy if they were 2" shorter.

I switched to wearing Torm jerseys and they've been great - a good bit longer and fit really well.

Same jacket as the Tall One and I second the accolades..it just works in cold conditions and it’s only weak points are dealing with rain and snow, which is not what is is designed for. I should add those are several of my weak points as well. Now you're going to make me search the used market and see what I can stockpile, as it’s about the same age.

Coming soon.....Velocio Men's Signature Softshell for review. It is not designed as a tempo riding jacked however the materials favor a well ventilated rig. Cautiously optimistic here.

Velocio goods seem to get good reviews.
