Light and comfortable.
The jersey is very light and helps wick perspiration. It’s fits close to the body and the pockets have a nice depth. I haven gotten any sunburn although I haven’t worn it for a long ride yet. It’s hot and humid in DC where I live so this has been the perfect solution.

The best jersey for searing heat/humidity!
This is the best jersey I've owned, especially for the summer heat this year in particular! I was surprised by how well it fit (I'm a larger rider with a 46" chest), and it breathes and wicks like MAD...love this jersey, and have since bought several other colors!

Summer lightweight top
Ideal for hot days in the sun, i used these tops cycling in France due to heat. The tops are much lighter and breathable than the other core range.. i was surprised with how much difference there was... great design, great detail and quality, whats not to like !!!

Runs Small
Very disappointed. This was my 1st time ordering a jersey so I used the sizing guidelines to get the correct size. Unfortunately this jersey runs very small & now I can't return/exchange it. Recommend going up at least one size so you don't have similar outcome.

Great Value Jersey
Great lightweight jersey, really great quality construction and materials, so you really feel that Rapha badge and for great value. For me the fit is slightly baggy on the shoulders so there is a bit of flapping in the wind. But could be just my scrawny shoulders.

Light and comfortable jersey
I'm 185 cm and 82 kg and wear M size. It's little bit looser in the shoulders (I'm not Thor). The material is very comfortable. Why I don't give 5 star? Because of zipper. I'm afraid every time when I turn it on. Girlfreind has the same one and has that sam thing.

First timer
This is one of my first Rapha products! I was blown away with the quality! This made me want to ride more and more..Unfortunately I noticed that I have a tear in the armpit..I wash it and then hang dry and I have only had it for 2 months! Not sure what happened!!

Comfy and cool Jersey
The Rapha Men's Core Lightweight Jersey has quickly become my go-to for gravel rides. The lightweight fabric is incredibly breathable, keeping me cool even on the hottest days. Its moisture-wicking properties ensure I stay dry and comfortable throughout my ride.

light!
bought for summer rides, it is really really light and quality product fabric. 4 stars because it is tighter fit then brevet series although advertised as same cut and that zipper is tighter also then my brevet jersey. all products i buy are XL. male 185cm, 90kg

exactly what i needed it to be
absolutely 100% satisfied with this jersey. fabric is light and very comfortable, and has kept me cool in temps up to 35c. i've worn it as low as 20c and still found it comfortable. fights closer than the same size in my classic II jersey. highly recommended

Almost perfect
Mesh fabric is fantastic, so airy feels like you’re barely wearing anything. Fit is perfect as usual. Occasionally the zipper is difficult to engage and gets a bit stuck at the bottom which is a small downside on an otherwise perfect garment at this price point.

Soft and cool for the warmer rides
Great jersey with great fabric for those warmer days in the saddle. I had given it five stars if the zipper had held the same standard as the fabric. But as this jersey is very affordable I understand that there will be details that hold the price at that level.

Very disappointed
Very disappointed with my first Rapha top. The body is true to size, but the sleeves are far too short (for my preference) and kept riding up my arm (I'm not heavily built). I understand this is an entry level Rapha top, but I expected a much better experience.

Small size
Runs very small. Buy 2 sizes larger than what you usually wear.

As expected
Great, simple, lightweight jersey as described. They basically used the same rear panel as the regular Core jersey with a lighter weight front panel. I do wish it had the rear zippered pocket from the Core jersey as well. But, that would add weight : ) ?

Decent. Not great
Thin, well breathing shirt for hotter days on the bike. Sleeves tend to roll up a bit whilst wearing the jersey. Bit of a bummer, or a missed opportunity, that there is no pocket with a zipper on the back.
Oh.. and the price. A bit much for the quality

A stand out jersey for hot conditions
This really does do the business. Bought this specifically for my holiday in Lanzarote and it was perfect. Great fit, very light and in combination with a mesh undervest kept me cool and dry. And the green colour looks super-rad! Highly recommended.

Can't beat the price
Can't beat the price of this jersey especially when things start heating up outside. Would love a shorter color with longer sleeves for this jersey, other than that its a great jersey that will keep you cool and comfortable for the days adventure.

Core Lightweight Jersey
A bit tighter fitting in the waist than the standard Core jersey. The collar is taller than the standard Core jersey, but it’s also pretty flimsy, so it won’t stand up without being fully zipped. Still, a decent quality piece and a good value.

Happy with it
Really happy with this jersey and how it feels. My only complaint is that the zipper gets stuck sometimes, not sure if this will get better over time but it's the only issue I've had so far. Would recommend for outdoor riding or on the trainer.

Pretty Good.
The material and comfort of this jersey are great. I would like the sleeves to me more similar to the classic flyweight jersey as these ones are a touch too short and don't stay in place. A zippered pocket would be nice, but not a deal breaker.

good Jersey
The fabric feels very soft and good. What's a little disappointing is as follows.
- It's weak in elasticity.
- The end of the sleeve is being pushed up.
- It would be better to place the "Rapha" logo printed on the back pocket a little higher.

Everything you’d come to expect from Rapha.
Everything you’d come to expect from Rapha. Excellent fit and the new summer, light material is a big plus. I wore this on the day after wearing the Core jersey and it is a lot mor comfortable in 80F+ heat. Perfect for the New York summer.

Great jersey
Very well built jersey. Holds up after many washes, still looks brand new. A star off because the sleeves tend to ride up the warm. Will shell out the extra $ next time for a more premium jersey as I'm sure the others done have this issue.

Great jersey, could use a zippered pocket
Lightweight, comfortable, looks good. Good fit — roomy enough to handle my climber's physique. Really nice on warmer days!
Docked one star for the lack of zippered pocket — an easy addition that really helps with security for keys/cards.

Sizing
It's too tight on me and apparently i realised that the Core Lightweight Jersey sizing is smaller fm the Core Jersey range which i already own a few. Got to pass to a friend instead. Feels Rapha should make it known the size difference .

Great product but zip doesn't insert easily.
I am happy with all aspects of the purchase and product apart from the zip being a bit difficult to insert. I've almost not worn on a couple of rides as I've been in a hurry, but after several goes it seems to work. No problem unzipping.

Lovely top but sleeves a bit on the short side
Lovely to have some Rapha kit! Lovely, lightweight material and good fit. My only gripe is that the sleeves are on the short side and tend to “creep” up my arms whilst out on a ride. Pockets on the back are well placed and deep enough.

I’ll never buy from another brand again
Really fantastic fit and quality. I’ve paid a similar price for jerseys before from other manufacturers and this Rapha one is on another level. Really breathable and the back never rides up! I won’t go anywhere other than Rapha again.
