Mrs McBain has offered to buy me something.
I've always fancied a Soft Shell jacket but the forthcoming Bomber jacket also caught my eye. Does anyone have a view about which to go for?
I don't mind looking like a label tart - must be my midlife crisis coming on :oops:

What do I ride? Now that's an Enigma!

If you're wanting a Rapha jacket for long road rides, the soft shell is what you want - back pockets, longer sleeves with lycra cuffs, vent zips on the sides, higher neck, *rse flap for when you're getting lots of wheel spray... I think it's a wee bit longer on the back and a closer fit as well.
The Bomber is just a fashion item, for nights out. I'm sure you can buy a trendier jacket to go out for a lot less than what Rapha charges...
Most people won't know what Rapha is outside the cycling circle, so no peer approval factor either
