Crazy to hear all the rave reviews about their durability. I bought about 18 items before I gave up and got rid of almost all of it because of the terrible luck I had with it falling apart extremely quickly. Great materials, fantastic design, terrible construction. Everything seemed to come apart at the seams, lots of parts weren't even finished properly. Really wanted to love their product but can't justify shelling out that kind of money for such low QC.

For all those who might be wondering I'm 5'10" at about 165-170 lbs, I never dry my items and I laundered all my Rapha on gentle in wash bags with cool water. I'm super gentle with my clothing and have never had such problems with Capo, Castelli, Pearl, Giordana. I will admit I'm incredibly critical of clothing but it got to the point that my girlfriend started giving me hell when I'd continue to buy Rapha gear.

Their only redeeming quality is their support crew up in Portland, those guys are first rate, too bad they can't build them like their Portland crew repairs them in the first place.
