Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Very close fitting, pro length sleeves with nice grippers, and a very nice gripper at the bottom of the jersey. Pockets are a little small, but I don't put much in there anyways so its ok.
Interesting about the Rapha fit. I had to go XXL (when I'm normally XL) for Castelli jersey and bib shorts to fit me. The bib shorts I got from them initially felt 'tight' in comparison to the diaper pants Pearl Izumi I'm used to. Then I went out to ride them and was amazed. I was immediately sold on high quality bibs from then on out.. slowly changing my tune of 'overpriced' to 'okay that's just what this **** costs, great '
