Rapha has revealed two new special editions, the Milano-Roma Collection and the Hidden Leaves Collection, a collaboration with Canyon//SRAM's Hannah Barnes.
The Milano-Roma Collection is intended as a celebration of the race of the same name. You haven't heard of it? That's not entirely surprising because it was run only twice — first in 1906 and then in 1918, so this year is the centenary of the second edition.
The 666km (414-miles) race took place over two stages: Milan to Bologna and Bologna to Rome. Both editions were won by Carlo Galetti, a three-time winner of the Giro d'Italia.
Highlights of the collection include:
Milano-Roma Merino Wool Track Jacket (£215), made in Italy using a double knitted merino wool.
Milano-Roma Jersey with Merino Arm Warmers (£160), again made from merino wool in Italy.
Milano-Roma Cotton Cap (£30), made from cotton and lined on the seams with anti-bacterial tape.
The collection is available now. Go to Rapha's website for more info.
The Hidden Leaves collection is a collaboration with Hannah Barnes of Women’s WorldTour team Canyon//SRAM and it's designed to look autumnal.
Highlights of the collection include:
Hidden Leaves Souplesse Jersey II (£120), made from a quick-drying and sweat-wicking fabric.
Hidden Leaves Long Sleeve Aero Jersey II (£140), coming soon, the long sleeve version of the Souplesse Aero Jersey.
Hidden Leaves Souplesse Bib Shorts II (£180), cut with as few seams as possible and featuring a women's seatpad.
Again the collection is available now. Go to Rapha's website for more info.
