Rapha Softshell Trousers have arrived. They – it? – are designed for all-day city riding in cold, wet conditions. Cut from a technical fabric, they are windproof and highly water resistant but, unlike cumbersome over-trousers they have been designed as proper tailored trousers, with simple styling, a structured shape which makes them look as good on the bike as it does off and all the features one might expect of trousers designed to be smart enough to wear in the office.
More on them once we’ve ridden them in the rain (although probably not all day long).
