Same poor zipper, better fit, but less packable
It’s a great vest like the last pro team, however this new version, although more fitting, is bulkier and doesn’t pack down as tight. Lost a few stars for continuing to use the old Rapha zippers who’s clasp only lasts a season or two (I’ve have four of them break off!)

Too small
My review doesn’t help because the gilet was way too small. Quality seemed beautiful but couldn’t be bothered exchanging- just sent it back. A Medium always fits.. but this medium was ridiculously small. Does that mean Large would have done it? Didn’t take the chance.

Does it’s job, but quality is lacking.
Does it’s job perfectly, I have this three star because of the lack of quality. After the 4th ride the metal connecting the zipper just came off with a simple tug like it was made out of the cheapest material they could find!

Double ziper is perfect
Very light and breathable gilet, I am 184 cm height with 75 kg and size M is race fit for me (I liked, but if you don't, try one size up).
The double ziper is perfect, you can open or close very easily it, whenever you want.

Seems perfect.
Haven't had the opportunity to use this piece of kit yet, but size large fits very good without extra material flapping around the shoulders.
I weight 160 and have broad shoulders height is 5'9". Will use this spring.

Unexpectedly Great
I almost surprised how good this product is. Double zip, high-ish neck to keep out the cold, superb stretch fabric so your full jersey pockets don’t fall out of bottom at the back, and great colourway. Truly delighted

essential kit
A massive improvement on the previous years fit, mostly around the shoulders and no more flapping in the wind. Works great as a wind blocker providing that extra bit of protection in changeable conditions.

Perfect for early Spring rides.
Perfect Gilet for the early spring rides. I am 6'2" and 80kg. The XL was spot on except as noted by a few people, the fitting around the upper back / shoulder is loose and so the material flaps in wind.

Great piece of kit
Great piece of kit. As with the other Pro Team items I've purchased it's so well made and the fit is excellent. Perfect for the start of a ride or indeed the whole ride to keep off a bit of wind chill.

Essential part of my wardrobe
Great product. Slim fit. But stick to usual sizing. Zip works well. Ventilation very good. Useful for 5-10 degree temps to take wind chill away. Not flappy like the core gilet.

Nice gilet
Pretty good fit but still a bit flappy around the shoulders. Slightly different material from the previous version I have but a nice gilet overall.

Great
An excellent solution for Central European evenings in August and September, when the sun starts to set after five o'clock in the afternoon and it slowly cools down, or the wind starts blowing. No sweaty back like with the Core Gilet. It takes up no space in your jersey pocket and weighs nothing. I am very satisfied.

Perfect if you have wide shoulders and don't
Fit the jackets, which for me are too tight under the armpits.

Nice, Nice, Nice
Better than the last version,perfect improvements with no flapping shoulder bits even in a strong headwind, slighly closer fit than last version (size Medium) but not much in it, maybe its the material design as it seems less stretchy but again not much in it, overall i like this gilet and have bought another one in a different colour, perfect with a long sleeve jersey around 5 to 10 degrees.
Another quality Rapha product,they only get better in my opinion.

Great garment and staple kit component
This is the 2nd Pro Team Lightweight Gilet I've purchased and it's great. Very flexible and useful in many conditions depending how you combine it with other layers. I wear mine in fall and spring over summer jerseys and winter over winter jerseys. There are some slight detail changes since the last generation that make it fit a little tighter, which may or may not be a good thing. New colors coordinate well with new Pro lightweight jerseys.

Decent but flawed design
I have used a brevet gilet for many years which I loved and thought I would change to this pro team gilet.
Initially it fits and feels great however a downside which I have also noticed from previous comments is that when you are riding at speed it flaps around the shoulder / rear of the shoulder blade area which is annoying and Rapha really should have identified as its not a cheap piece of kit.

UTILE IN OGNI STAGIONE
Io lo possiedo da un po’ e l’ho regalato a mio marito. Utile in tutte le stagioni, per le calde discese estive, per le partenze all’alba, per le giornate più fresche di mezza stagione, per le giornate ventose, per una barriera antivedrò in inverno sopra la maglia termica. Efficace e dall’ingombro ridottissimo. Doppia zip per poterlo aprire senza sentirlo sventolare.

Almost perfect!
I use this on top of a Pro Team Jersey usually, but it's also works great over a Classic. The fit is just as tight as you would want (181 cm, 80 kg size M). There's little to no flapping in the wind, but it is quite "loud" when you ride with it unzipped, compared to the Brevet vest. Perhaps due to materials used.
Other than that, it does what it's designed to do!

The perfect lightweight gilet
I love this garment. It's super-super light, so much so that I'm not aware I'm wearing it, if unzipped, and it stows away to nothing, yet keeps the chill off really well. I like how tight fitting it is too, with the very stretchy hem being able to envelope the contents of jersey pockets, from below. Double zip completes the picture of perfection. Looks sharp too!

Nice Gilet
Nice looking gilet and perfect for spring rides with a jersey and base layer. My only gripe and unfortunately it’s common place with some pro team gear (insulated jacket and gilet) is the flapping shoulders in any wind. I don’t seem to be the only one noticing this judging by other reviews. It fits very snug so I don’t know how it happens so much.

It's good but a backwards step on the gripper
I replaced my old Pro team gilet that I'd had around 3 years. This gilet has a nice fit, I appreciate the higher neck line and less flappy shoulders. However the big thicker grip they have on the back at the bottom just doesn't work. My gilet is always riding up. This wasn't an issue on previous model where you had a very thin gripper.

Great gilet
Great piece of kit. Superlight and folds perfectly in any jersey's pocket. Only thing was the zipper which of course got stuck almost immediatly, and one of the two puller broke trying to get it unstuck.
Easily sorted but still annoying. Guess it's not Rapha's fault if we still can't make zippers that just work though...

Valido aiuto contro il vento
Ordinato in taglia L, indossa molto aderente quindi se siete sovrappeso una taglia in più è da prendere in considerazione, cerniera che si apre anche sotto quindi si possono avere diverse combinazioni, è comunque un valido antivento, in discesa non passa un filo d'aria, consigliato come del resto anche gli altri prodotti

Good improvements on previous Lightweight Gilet!
Modifications from the last Lightweight Gilet are great on this! The changed grippers and paneling are awesome and allow for a more comfortable fit. The chest adjustment makes for a more fitted fit with less wind getting into the back of the gilet when in the drops or pushing hard. Well Done R&D team

Bello con riserva
Non è packable, quindi è molto scomodo da infilare nelle tasche della maglia. Basterebbe aggiungere un taschino al gilet, entro cui ripiegarlo. Per il resto bei colori, bel materiale, comoda la doppia cerniera. Sarebbe bello avere gli stessi colori sia per i modelli maschili che femminili

Pro team lightweight gilet
Pro Team Lightweight Gilet is one of my bucket list and I love the color red that arrived few weeks ago. Its lightweight packable and mesh in rear is unique, a way to cool down your body and of course double zipper is useful every moves for easy access, love it though every rides C'', )!

Comfortable fit and adjustable on the bike...
Very functional and easy to adjust for changing conditions with the two way zip. Light and thin, folds small to store in a jersey pocket when not needed. Good for those cooler mornings or long descents. Not for winter. I wear L in the Core Jersey and went up a size, it fits well.

Perfect addition for cold mornings
Does exactly what I need it to do. Offers great wind protection in the front whilst plenty of 'breath' in the back. Unlike other gilet's I've tried, the Pro Team Lightweight does not sweat in the back. I warm up relatively quickly and the gilet folds nice, light and compact.
