the_roadie Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Hi Anyone ordered from http://www.rapha.cc/rd/en/ before? How is the quality of the clothing and what was the shipping experience like? Do they use DHL all the way or does it end up in the hands of our "reliable" postal service. Or even better, any local distributors of Rapha clothing?

Ryanpmb Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Just got a few things that I got as gifts - too poor to buy - and they are my fave cycling goodies. Prices are insane. But it's oh-so-nice kit... I have also scratched together some pieces over the years.

Bianchi Baby Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 We have bought A LOT of Rapha stuff in the past. We never get it delivered here. We always get it delivered to a UK address and wait until someone is travelling there to bring it back. Excellent quality always!

Ryanpmb Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 gain or lose weight to ensure correct fit from sizes available Sizing is definately, um, 'european/ pro' sizing...
WR 1.0 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 So medium here in Anatomic as example , will be large in their size?
Bianchi Baby Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 So medium here in Anatomic as example , will be large in their size? Yes their sizes are definately smaller then ours here. My hubby is a m/l here and ended up with an xl Rapha cycling shirt.Their clasual clothes are also sized slightly smaller he is comfy in a large in Rapha but is normally a med here.If you are ordering kids sizes my very small 9 year old fits into their 10-11 sizes and is due to get bigger on my next order and his cycling shirt is a large kids (and he is def not a large here).Hope this helps?
the_roadie Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 Is their sizing chart not accurate then? For example, according to chest measurement I would wear a medium jersey. If I look at the Craft size chart I should also wear a medium (I currently have a large Craft jersey that fits a little too big). Basically I'm wondering how Rapha sizing compares to Craft if anyone knows.
Chro Mo Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Sizing is definately, um, 'european/ pro' sizing...That's me out of this equation!
