Stains if you look at it wrong..
On my first ride with the tan coloured long sleeve jersey, I was sprayed with some muddy water on the trail. Long story short, after 3 treatments and washes, the shirt is completely stained/ruined. This is totally unacceptable. This is a piece of mountain bike kit, and it is rediculous to think that the material will be stained immediately by some mud/dirty water.
I am not big on writing reviews, but I reached out to rapha via email, sent them a separate inquiry on their website, and phoned them to rectify this issue. It has been weeks and no one has even responded to me! When you are charging 100s of dollars for a single piece of kit, there is a certain standard that should be upheld. Terrible customer service.
I have owned many pieces of rapha kit and have always been happy with my purchases. However, I will no longer be recommending them if nothing is done to rectify this issue.

Not as nice as the 3/4 Trail shirts
Nice enough, but had higher expectations as I have several of the 3/4 trail technical shirts and they feel much better. The material on the arms feels more technical and nice on the bike. Not to say this isn't nice, but same as the regular LS shirts.

Top Notch
Great fitting, wicks well, and the raglan sleeves are very comfortable and don't restrict movement. The cut of the shirt is just right (Not super baggy and not super tight). I like the fit of this jersey over the Explore long sleeve shirt...the explore uses set in sleeves which creates an odd point in the fabric/seam near your AC joint. Personally prefer the smooth raglan cut over set it sleeves. Would love to see more color options in this jersey.

Cool Kit
I have purchased more than 5 of these types of jerseys. This is my only one with full length sleeves. Unlike the 3/4 sleeve, these are looser on the arms and obviously different in materials. I wore this on my overseas trip to Tasmania where the weather was cooler and dry without feeling the sleeve stick to my arms. I doubt it would be same for hot humid weather. Overall very good piece of kit especially also onboard the plane or casual walkabouts.

Technical trail top review
I bought this top for mountain and trail bike riding with warm weather and sun protection in mind. I really like it. The fit is good - loose of course compared to road biking tops but not so loose that I can't wear at 30km/h on a gravel trail, although the sleeves push up slightly with the wind. It feels very cool, cooler than a short sleeve road jersey. The bright yellow/green is both quite nice and great for being seen. I would buy it again.

Bike Packing with Rapha gear
I purchase rapha gear as I do some bike packing and those adventures can be hard on gear. Gear is worn over and over without washing and needs to hold up. I ride in Rapha technical t-shirts and Rapha shorts when I bike pack as I need both comfort and durability - Rapha never disappoints. Sure it costs a bit more than some cycling clothing, but when you are out in the elements for days at a time, having bomb proof gear is critical

Light, breathable LS shirt
Nice, lightweight LS shirt for riding in high-sun conditions. I wear at altitude in Utah (PC, Moab) and like the light color for high-sun, or cool autumn days. Would wear to DH park, although would prefer Rapha came out with something similar to Fox's Defend jersey (i.e., reinforced shoulder/elbow patch). Glad Rapha came out with light color in this given hot sun in Mountain West

Comfortable and light
Very comfortable and light. It’s definitely loose fitting and keeps you dry in those warm days in the trail. Fits a little loose which makes the shirt feel very comfortable. I am 5’7 195 pounds and I ordered an XL since I have wide shoulders and chest. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great quality comfy mtb shirt.

Super comfortable and a really good fit.
one of the most comfortable jerseys i own. light, doesn't get you too hot and the arms are a good cut so not super baggy. Im over 6ft and its a good length on the arms and body. other brands are either too short in the. arm of too short in body these are perfect. Well done Rapha for a first pass at a jersey its a winner!

Light, breathable, looks and feels good!
Loving my trail shirt. Light, breathable, looks and feels good. Nice fit and feels like its made to last. I haven't had to test its durability after a fall yet (hoping not too anytime soon) but very happy with it so far. Been riding it during the summer to cover my arms from the sun and its been great.

Spot on fit !
Material is really nice and fit is probably one of my favorites in terms of tech tees. Sometimes they can be a little too baggy or long, but this is perfect. Slim fitted and reasonable length. The collar at first threw me off because it’s almost like a structured collar but no problems wearing it.

Good Summer Mountain Bike Jersey
This is a good jersey that kept the sun off of my arms and also kept me cool. The fit was perfect for me in that is was not tight but not baggy either. My only complaint is having more sturdy material on the high wear areas to protect against brush and falls when Mt. Biking.

My go too long sleeve top
Great top - I have a few of these for the mtb / gym - nice weight, lovely design. I’m usually a medium eg 95% of my clothes are medium - medium is tight on me (biceps and chest), length is good though - large fits decent - im 5 11 - 87kg - smidge over 40” chest, gym build

Very nice looking shirt with nice technical specs.
Amazing shirt, the design especially is perfect, vey simple yet effective. The material breaths, I used it on summer day, I was a bit warm on the climb, but not more that I would've been with any other shirt and I soon as I started going down all was cooled down.

Great Shirt, Bit Fragile
The slim fit is amazing and it blocks windchill suprisingly well. The only down side is its already getting damaged where it sits over my watch (Garmin Fenix) a little bit of reinforcment at the end of the sleeve would go a long way.

Great shirt
Nothing bad to say about this shirt, it keeps cool in the heat and protects me from the pesky sun. Fits a little small for me, but so does all Rapha tops had to go XL for the right amount of room in the shoulders area.

Good shirt
It's a great shirt to add to the collection. I will say it runs a bit baggier than the explore technical shirts so keep that in mind. I got a size large but would maybe even prefer a medium since it's a little baggy.

Too good for cycling in.
The fabric that this garment is fashioned fro is superb. It is soft and breathable. It's so comforrtable to wear and coupled with the cut (not figure-hugging lyrca) I find myself wearing this off the bike too.

A shirt for all occasions.
As with all RAPHA products, this shirt is stylish but more importantly it’s extremely light weight, comfortable and well made. Perfect for trail riding and I also wear it when I’m on my road bike!

Good top for early summer rides
Another clever design. Drapes well and doesn't flap. Has a big neck hole but I tend to wear a buff so not an issue. Seems to cope with warmer temperatures without overheating. Seems to wick well.

Keep making these please Rapha
Perfect athletic fit for enduro riders. Material has just enough stretch, is breathable and very lightweight but durable. For reference I’m 6ft and purchased these in large. I have several.

Great jersey
I’ve worn Rapha road kit for years, and as I also MTB lots I’m pleased to see their off road range. I have a few of the trail long sleeve jerseys now and this colour way is cracking.

Comfortable and versatile
Very comfortable and wicks away moisture very well. Technically, it’s comfortable enough to wear on warm days on the trails or as a base layer when the weather gets colder

Ride in style is your vibe? Look no further
I’m bored of the traditional tee- this special edition is blending style into gravel riding; I get more compliments from my IG when I roll with these special editions.

Good, couple of minor niggles
Nice and loose baggy fit, cool fabric, worn on a couple of hot rides. Slightly awkward neck which could do with having a little more stretch. Sleeves a bit long.
