Made from a thicker yarn than Rapha’s traditional socks, the winter socks are what to reach for when the mercury’s barely showing – with padded toes and footbeds they offer a greater level of insulation, making sure you have no excuses for heading out on that intended training ride…! The Rapha quality you know and expect comes through in the high merino wool content, handlocked toe stitching to prevent rubbing, and the itch-free, anti-bacterial and odour-resistant fabric.

Price: £20, available from Rapha.
