I’m a big fan of Rapha and have owned many of the brand’s pieces over the years. My go-to trail trousers are by Rapha, and they are still going strong after thousands of kilometres of off-road riding. Like all in their range, they have impressed me with their comfort, performance, and style.
So I decided to search the Rapha Summer Sale, build myself a top-to-toe outfit, and see just how much I could save. The result was mind-blowing, and I saved £240 on the five items I selected. It included a huge £74 discount on the Rapha Trail Gore-Tex Infinium jacket, which is one of the new breed of cycling rain jackets free from PFAS chemicals, and a 10 out of 10 scoring jacket, with performance that we think is hard to beat.

The Summer Sale has substantial discounts, making it an excellent opportunity to treat yourself or to stock up on your favourite Rapha gear. They are likely to sell out quickly, so if you see something you like, I recommend grabbing it right away before it’s gone.
The Rapha Trail Pants are some of the best we’ve ever tested.

Save £104 on Rapha Powerweave Shoe.
As a multi-discipline rider, the Explore Powerweave shoe has me covered for XC, gravel, and cyclocross riding. Rapha designed the Powerweave as a high-performance all-terrain shoe for fast and light off-road riding, and it does it all brilliantly. Highlights include the Powerweave 3D-woven technology upper, a dual-dial Boa fastening system, and a strong yet lightweight carbon footplate for efficient power transmission – it’s an off-road shoe that ticks all the boxes for me.
