going forward, its still confusing. its nice that you can explain what the differences are in this forum, but on the street, if I walk into a store or shop online, I still don't have a clue why there is a RSR and RS version of the same S9 Equipe.
Rapha is very clear on their low and high end lines. Core and Pro. Then, they have variants that are very clear on where they sit in the line.
as far as the temp ratings go, the best barometer for that is a temperature range. different for all type of riders, but gives a general idea of what their intentions are in what weather.
I do have to say that as clear as Rapha is on their regular and race versions...I still reach for Assos when the temperature drops...anything technical which Assos is good at.

Indeed.
Except now we have two types of Equipe!
Equipe RS s9 - this is the successor to the Equipe EVO S7 (although this short is still exists in our collection for 2019)
Equipe RSR s9 - this is the successor in many respects to the Campionissimo short.
