I presume you meant to post this in the brands that have fallen in disgrace thread

I like my rapha stuff.... but c'mon. The banana would be mush by the time you got to it.

I think that pocket was designed for your exclusive membership card.

I suppose it’s better than putting the pocket on the inside...

The idea actually makes sense, but it might have been a good idea to use an energy bar or other (non-suggestive or crushable) item instead of a banana...

In a men's model only, continuing a long tradition of clothing for women without pockets, because, really, what could they possibly need to carry that won't fit in a purse?

i'm sure they will release the women's line of their new kit soon John. Rapha seems to be doing a ton for women's cycling. More than any other single co-ed organization that i have seen.

i would say at least 50% of their social media presence is women focused, as well as a very solid product line for both sexes.

they also sponsor plenty of teams, and put on great women's events.

i dont think it's fair to throw equality stones at Rapha, given how much effort they seem to be putting in, at least from the viewpoint of this casual observer.

Seems like a better spot to store bars and gels than under the leg gripper. Novel.
