Lael’s Top pick: Explore Overshorts
"The Explore Overshorts are my favourite shorts ever! They're easy to move in, super lightweight, the perfect length and have a comfortable waistband. I wore them for nine days straight on the Arizona Trail last spring and felt great on the bike."
Magnus Cort’s recommendations
To be a part of the professional peloton requires year-round riding throughout the seasons. EF Education-Easypost rider Magnus Cort shares his favourite Rapha products that keep him comfortable on the road, whatever the weather.
Reflective overshoes
Pro Team GORE-TEX Insulated Rain Jacket
Magnus’ Top Pick: Merino Wool Baselayer
"The Rapha Performance Merino products are always a good option for cold and mixed conditions. In the winter it can be hard to dress well because of the temperature changes during the day and also from going up a mountain where it gets very warm uphill and at the same time you don't want to sweat and be too wet before the downhill starts."
Justin & Cory’s recommendations
L39ION of Los Angeles co-founders and professional riders, Justin and Cory Williams share their favourite Rapha products that help keep them on the podium.
Pro Team Powerweave Bib Shorts
Pro Team Lightweight Gilet
Justin’s Top pick
“I’m honestly impressed by how well the pro team bibs fit. From the flat straps that lay comfortably across the shoulder to the shape and materials in the bibs, they make for an incredible experience on the bike long or short.”
Off Road Heroes
TRAIL LIGHTWEIGHT PANTS
Bryn’s Top pick: Trail GORE-TEX Infinium Jacket
“Lightweight, durable and easy to wear. I run hot while riding, but this jacket breathes so well it’s my go-to for winter shredding"”
