My first cycling jersey!
Just bought the Core Jersey as my first cycling jersey! So far used it on 2 long weekend rides and it delivered the performance I was expecting! The 3 back pockets and the zipped compartment are ideal for my carrying needs. The material seems nice and it looks great! Survived the first washing machine adventure without issues. I would recommend the product, feels like good value for money.

Great Fitting Quality Jersey.
The jersey fits really well: It's a little slimmer than the Rapha Classic jersey that I have, but for me that's a good thing.
The fabric feels good and washes well, and as it's more of a "mid weight" than the Classic jersey, it's very versatile.
The quality and attention to detail is very impressive for the price.
Overall I'd rate this jersey very highly, it's an ideal "all rounder".

The perfect jersey for me
I found the perfect jersey for me. The fit is somewhat relaxed, which I appreciate very much. I don't need a skin suit every time I ride. I guess what I'm saying is this jersey isn't just for dad bods, but dad bods do appreciate it. The fit is great, the fabric is great, the style is awesome, the pockets are amazing. I feel like I've found the jersey I've been looking for all these years.

My first Rapha jersey 👍
I'm not ashamed to say that this is my first purchase of a Rapha product. And I feel my purchase was worth it. Quality is undeniable. Especially for this jersey, after I wore the jersey for my first ride, I felt comfortable with the material, I could move freely without being hampered by the cut of the clothes, everything felt comfortable. I will buy Rapha products again in the future.

Another Great product
Do not be put off by the fact that this is a core item. It exudes quality and the new styling endorses that. A nice fit and you will not be disappointed. A classic without being in their classic range!

Good fit, bad thread
When this jersey came in the mail I was ecstatic, loved the fit and the feeling of the material. This Jersey was sure to save me 5w on the bike. But after about 5 washes on delicate and hang drying the threads are starting to come undone I feel as like a child watching their stuffed animal be ripped apart thread by thread. For the price I am disappointed on the quality of this garment.

Great fitting, leightweight shirt + zipper pocket
I'm super surprised by the quality of my Rapha Men's Core Jersey. It fits perfectly (I'm 177cm, toned and wear Large) and it is super leightweight and handles sweat pretty well. What I like the most, besides the good feeling material, is the hidden zipper pocket - so good, especially when having a car key with you which you don't want to loose ;-)
So happy that I ordered another shirt.

Fantastic jersey, but not for super hot weather
I really love this jersey. Honestly, it is about the most comfortable jersey I've worn in decades of cycling. It's gone through about 10 wash cycles now and appears to be holding up just fine. I'll definitely be getting another one. The one catch, though, is that I found it uncomfortable when the mercury rises. Below about 25o C, it is fantastic but I feel too toasty above that point.

Uncleanable when muddy.
Nice Jersey, but completely useless in muddy conditions. It is unwashable and not possible to get properly clean after a trip trough the mud. So, one time use only if you get it all stained up.

Good price, good quality, short sleeves
Happy with the price and the quality of the fabric and stitching, but the sleeves are too short when in a riding position - even shorter than some jerseys I have from 15 years ago when shorter sleeves were normal. Borderline uncomfortable on longer rides, as I can begin to feel the fabric pulling around my arms. Otherwise the body length, pocket placement, and zippers are all good.

Back to back issues.
First one was two small, so I reordered the size up..and it was riddled with holes. So returned that one too. Just bad luck..but with the back to back..it was enough to lose my business.

Size up if used to US sizes
Although the quality of materials and construction is very good, the fit is odd. I am 5” 9” 170 lbs initially I ordered size large but needed to return for extra large. The fit of the XL is a bit roomy but better. It appears I am in between sizes. My previous purchase of size large Classic II fits well, which prompted me to order size large of the Core. The return was painless.

Excellent Fit and Fabric
I'm 6'0" and around 215 lbs. So I don't exactly have the typical cyclist's physique. But this jersey fits me perfectly in XL, a close fit but not race fit or skintight. The length is just right as well, so there is no bunching up or folding anywhere when I'm in the saddle. The fabric is nice and supple too, but I tend to avoid this jersey on really hot days or on longer rides.

Well price summer short sleeved jersey
Quality well priced jersey. Nice length and fit but a bit snug around the middle so I would suggest a larger size than normal unless you well toned ( I’m the right bmi but obviously not slim enough for the desired fit)
Good length and the sleeves hold the upper arms without being tight as dies the waistband.
Pockets are adequate.
All in all a good jersey. I would buy again.

Great fit, feel and stylish
Great fit, feel and stylish. Love the colour and overall quality. Just hoping the logo won't fall off in the 30 degree wash. Worn in in temperatures ranging from 12 to 15 degrees with arm warmers and felt very comfortable. I was asked if it made me go faster on my bike and managed to increase my average speed, collecting a few PB's along the way. I felt good wearing it.

Excellent cheaper jersey
I have no issue with this jersey. It’s the usual Rapha fit and quality with very good gripper on the hem to stop it riding up. My only slight reservation is that the fabric is a little thicker and a little less breathable than their more expensive offerings, hence 4 not 5 stars. But an excellent jersey nonetheless and this (gold/yellow) colour is outstanding. Literally!

You WILL be seen!!
Thanks to Rona the Virus I am riding almost daily and while traffic in my area is less, it seems some drivers seem to be suffering from temporary blindness. Hence, my purchase of the Hi-Vis Pink Core Jersey. Good golly this jersey is bright, comfortable, wicks fabulously and turns heads everywhere. As with all my other Rapha purchases - 100% satisfied. Thank you Rapha

Nice mid weight jersey
I really like the fit of my Core jersey; not loose or too tight. The colors pop, and the material is comfortable. It’s a little heavier than other warm weather kits, but will be nice for cooler days. The pockets are roomy but not too big, and it has a side zip pocket
The only issue I have is the zipper. It’s hard to get the pull started and to unzip with one hand.

Great jersey
The Core Jersey has a fit very similar to the Rapha Classic Jersey. I size for a Large, but the XL fit me perfect with a relaxed fit. I like it's simplicity, clean lines and refined fit both on, and off the bike. The only disappointment I have is the embroidered Rapha chest logo is gone and has been replaced by a decal. It's not nearly as classy as the sewn in logo.

Great quality
Very pleased with the quality of this jersey. I ordered a large and it said so on the tag when it arrived. But the inside of the jersey said XL. Figured it was a simple error with sizing. I have the same jersey in a large and can barely notice the difference in fit with the exception of the length, so I kept it and put it in the rotation. Will buy core jersey again.

Great jersey - highly recommended
This was my second piece from the Core range, after being bought another short sleeve jersey as a gift. In my opinion, these are at least as good, if not better than the standard Rapha jerseys, and considering the price (especially with the recent 25% discount) represent great value for money, not only compared to the rest of the Rapha range, but also other brands.

Looks great, fits great.
The fit and feel are really nice for the price. Looks great. The Core is a little heavy in a heat wave, but I'm buying the lightweight version to try.
It seems to get wiffy a little quicker than my other jerseys, but I've taken to showering it out immediately after riding, and then sticking it in the wash, rather than leaving it in the washing basket for the day.

Terrible Zipper
Nice fabric and fit, but let down by terrible zipper. Feels comfortable, and fits well if you are built like an avid cyclist (i.e. in-shape). However, the zipper is very difficult to engage—to a point where I feel I may break off the zipper tab or fabric. Might be a quality control issu or needs time to break-in, but as of 4 wear/wash cycles, I’m not impressed.

Great jersey!
Great jersey with an amazing amount of pockets. I like that you can throw your phone safely the zipped pocket. I can carry everything I need for a quick or long ride: phone, tube, and a small set of tools, some snacks. The quality of the product is great too though I found the sizing a bit snug based on their sizing chart. I'd probably go up a size the next time.

Great Jersey at a decent price
Good quality material with a simple design. Size wise they are a comfortable fit and i could have got away with my normal clothing size... Nice pocket size with a small secure zip area also.. full zip front.. really nice top and plenty of colour choice... the arms do tend to ride up a little as the sticky pads arent the best, but a minor point for a great top...

Superb core jersey for the fuller figure
Love the core jerseys nice and subtle stying and a little better fit for….the fuller figure,I’m 5’10-89kg with a slight middle age paunch but I’ve quite broard shoulders , tried the xl but felt it was just slightly to restrictive,went for the xxl was better but a little to much , I guess I’m in between xl and xxl but I’d rather be comfy than tight and restricted

Core jersey
Great shirt, nice and comply, I had to size up, the swap over was super easy with the exchange and new replacement arriving less than 2 weeks after placing the original order. My only niggle is the sleeves are a little short for my liking, though that doesn’t stop me grabbing it out the cupboard a few times a week. Overall very happy with the Rapha experience.

core jersey for humid weather.
Being a casual and weekend rider, I was apprehensive about spending so much for a jersey and instead opted for a cheaper one, however after wearing it a few times and feeling very uncomfortable i decided to get my first pair Rapha six months ago and and i have just added another new pair of Core Jersey. Very good for Humid climate and i strongly recommend it.
