+1. I personally don't have any of their jerseys but I do have the Core bibs, Touring shorts and the newer Randonnee shorts. My Core bibs and Touring shorts are about 5-6 years old and still looks great out the wash. I wouldn't say the Core bib is an all day, 100 mile ride type of bib as the chamois isn't as supple as the ones found on my PI Pro and Campagnolo Magnesio. The overall construction seems up to par with much higher priced bibs, has those really wide leg grippers and still cost less than some of my other bibs. But my favorite Rapha pieces are the Touring shorts and the newer Randonnee shorts (replaced the Touring). Casual and comfortable enough for a sub 20 mile ride on days where it can be so hot and humid and even use it on nice, cold days worn over bib tights.
