We took a trip to the Rapha headquarters today, and we liked what we saw! The brand have really taken into account what women are looking for, taking on board feedback from their end user and it really shows across its new spring range.

We are looking forward to putting the product through its paces. But in the meantime here are our initial thoughts.

• There is a 3/4 length tight in the range – hooray! They look like they will sit on the true waist (great for avoiding muffin top), have the legendary Rapha chamois and are made from a super soft lycra.
• They have taken negative feedback on board and altered the range appropriately. The Rapha Souplesse Jersey for example has been made longer.
• The new race jersey has been cut off a new block, there is now adequate allowance for our hips.
• The colours are gorgeous. Burnt orange, soft yellow, navy and a dash of hot pink are featured across the range.
