nice design and good fit
good fit for me in large size. I like the white stripe that beside being nice, gives you additional visiblity. In San Francisco where it can be cold due to sea wind the long sleeve is well apreciated as well as protective against potential sun burn. The fabric is light so perfect for SF context.

Versatile, comfortable jersey with nice materials.
Usual Rapha styling, which I like and fits with my other Rapha cycling clothing, making this easy to match. I wear it with normal bibs, thermal/winter bibs in red, and winter tights.
The fabric weight is very versatile - I have worn it with a long sleeve base layer and rain jacket over the top in low temps around 3-5°C, and just with a short sleeve base in warmer temperatures. Without the rain jacket, it does not block the wind very much, but it’s strength is in its ability to be layered.
I got one size too large. I’m 6’5” and wanted to have a comfortable winter layer with the sleeve long enough and body length long enough. I’m not a racing whippet, but probably the same size in the Pro Team would be a better fit, as there is a little bit of looseness in the waist. To be fair to Rapha, this is common with athletic clothing - the larger sizes cater to wider torsos rather than taller, so if you are tall, sizing up in the slim fit Pro Team line will probably give a better fit.
A very nice jersey.

A classic stable in great fabric
I bought this for my husband for his birthday. It’s an exact replica of his favorite Rapha item, which was in tatters, so now he has a new one. The merino wool is apparently great for all seasons in our cool climate. I’m wondering if he’ll ever throw the ‘old’ one out or keep both?

Even the white stripe has a role to play
Worth every red cent. Perfect transition season top. The pockets actually function, the overall material works decently in a breeze, the zip collar does its job well, last but not least the bit of rubber on the waist holds it in place. Oh, and my spouse likes the white arm stripe.

Perfect for long rides that start cold and warm up
It feels amazing from the first use. Wore this on the group ride that started in the 40s and ended in the 60s and I was perfectly comfortable the whole time. Love the orange color that is bright enough without being painful on the eyes in sunlight like some high viz colors.

Great shoulder season top
Perfect for shoulder season. Great fit from a well cut jersey. Sleeves are a a perfect length. Good size pockets. Ideal when the temps start to drop and a jersey doesn’t quite cut it. Pleased with this purchase. 6 foot. 170 pounds. Skinny bloke. Bought a medium. Perfect!

Love it.
Love this jersey. Warm when you need it, breathable, soft and cozy. Size M is perfect 177cm, 77kg). Not too tight. Perfect with a thin base layer underneath and a gilet or long sleeve wind jacket on top. Been using it in temps between 10-16 degrees C and it’s perfect.

One of the best pieces of kit out there
Such a good item to have in your cycling wardrobe. Versatile, warm and super comfortable. This thing is perfect for those 45-60 degree days. I'm not crazy about the color combo I got on the archive sale but can't complain for the price. Excellent bit of kit.

CLASSIC LONG SLEEVE
HAVE AN ORIGINAL CLASSIC LONG SLEEVE AND THIS ONE IS JUST ABOUT AS GOOD. EVER SO SLIGHTLY THINNER BUT IT PERFORMS REALLY WELL. RODE AN 80 MILE RIDE WITH TEMPS RANGING FROM 39* TO 71* AND ONLY NEEDED A MERINO BASE AND WAS COMFORTABLE THE WHOLE RIDE.

Nice Winter Mid-Layer Jersey.
Extremely well made. Merino wool looks and feels great. Excellent mid-layer on a cold day. I like the all black so I don’t look like I am a Rapha billboard while on the bike. I also like the mildly generous fit that is good for layering.

Decent jacket for 7-14C with no windstop
Nice jacket for 7-14 degrees. Not ideal when windy. Pockets on the back are a bit to high up for me to reach with comfort. After washing I noticed some threads if fabric which I removed with scissors. It look good and has a great comfort.

Excellent Jersey.
Delighted with top. Am 180cm and 79kg and size L was perfect. Certainly couldn’t have done with anything larger - relaxed fit. Have worn it with a base layer and gilet which provides adequate warmth down to 3 or 4 degrees.

Good long sleeves
Very nice Jersey. I use it when the temperature drops below 60F and it keeps me warm down to 45F. Doesn't really get much colder than that here in Los Angeles. Nice soft materials. Good fit. Arms are a touch too long.

Brilliant autumn / spring jersey
I bought my first LS Classic Jersey on a whim but it's been so useful I've bought a second, perfect for days above 10degC or so and very comfortable to wear. I'm a size down in this from my usual Rapha (non-merino) size.

Great buy
This was a great buy from the Rapha sale. I have used the jersey a lot already and have only had it a matter of weeks. It layers really, feel great next to the skin and is very adaptable. Good fit and great quality too

Classic jersey
Im 6ft,195lb, 42in chest. Size L is great fitting. This jersey is soft and warm,great for Fall/spring rides in NYC. "Buttoned UP" is what comes to mind if i had to describe the LOOK N FIT OF THE CLASSIC JERSEY LINE.

Great Jersey Once Again
Great jersey for a wide range of temperatures. Good fit, slightly relaxed and keeps the wind out reasonably well and is okay down to about 10 degrees C with a base layer.
Useful pocket size also.

Classic styling, cheap zipper
Comfortable and warm for shoulder seasons, with classic styling. Loses one star for the chintzy zipper, which feels like it won't hold up nearly as long as the otherwise well-constructed garment.

A "Merino" jersey that is now only 36% merino
Lower merino content and feels thinner and more synthetic than previous versions of the same jersey. More a mid season jersey than winter but good for winter with a base layer and wind jacket.

My new staple jersey
Material is awesome. Looser fitting than other Rapha tops. Keeps me warm on cold rides, used it between 35 and 50 degree F and has been perfect. Colder temps I add base layer and light jacket.

Perfect autumn jersey
Perfect autumn longsleeve jersey. Nice and soft cause of the use of merino wool. For me the best fit you can have, not too tight not too loose. Very breathable cloth! Dries really quickly.

Good looking piece
It looks good and feels good. Medium works for me. 5’10” 170-175lbs. Comfortable and spacious fit. Full black looks great. Just no reflective on it and should have for night riding.

New Favorite Jersey
75" tall with a leaner upper body than the lower half and the jersey fits me perfectly. The quality and feel are above average. This is truly a high end garment and my new favorite

a true classic jersey
a beautiful jersey, feeling warm with a short sleeve merino under layer at 7c in the morning. However, I realised the sleeves are almost 2cm longer than my older classic jersey.

Warm but not wind proof
Warm jersey they can be ridden in the 40s with a windproof shell and a baselayer. In the 50s I ride with it just by itself. Definitely not skin tight but very very comfortable.
