First gilet ever - good impression
Fits as good as a similar sized pro team jersey, feels like high quality materials were used, kept me nice and warm during some early morning descents. I have no knowledge about long term durability, but I really like how small you can pack it yet how warm it can keep you

Very good piece of kit
Sized up as normal for me with the pro kit as I’m no mountain goat and it fits very nicely. No issues with the double zip. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and looks great in the process
Some shoulder flap in high wind or fast descents but not that troubling

Top quality gilet
This is a very good quality vest, decent protection against the wind and with ability to open from the bottom makes it very useful to access things from your jersey's pockets. It is also compact and light, easily folded and fitted onto one of your jersey's pocket.

Great gilet
First time I buy a gilet and first time I get something from the Pro Team collection. When I tried it one I believed it was way too small. I wear Large in all 'tops' at Rapha and this one felt tight. But after riding with it it was clear it was the right size!

Essential piece of kit.
Very happy with this gilet as it has become my most worn bit of kit as we transition into the colder months, it works equally well as a wind blocker on cold morning as well as keeping light showers at bay all whilst packing up and fitting in a jersey pocket.

Great lightweight gilet
Highly recommended lightweight gilet. Works as required. Light as a feather and very packable in rear pocket. Have the green which looks great - I think better than in the pics. Wear Rapha in mediums and this fits true to size. Am 1.8m and weigh 75kg’s

Cold starter
My secret weapon against the elements and packs perfectly in my spare bottle. I wear XL on all Pro Team but this is a fraction away from being too fitted / tight. Great cold / cool morning start. Once again the most stylish and functional.

A must have in your wardrobe
Beautiful lightweight gilet. Fits well to the body. I am 1.74 cm and weigh 64 kilos and have ordered size S. This one fits well.
I used the gilet in combination with the longsleeve at about 10 degrees and rain. It keeps you warm.

Nice Style but not very Practical
Beautiful style, very durable and high quality material, practical functionality as the zipper can also be opened from below. The down side is the cut of the gilet/vest! It becomes loose from the waist and below while riding.

Nice Lightweight Vest
Very happy with this vest so far. Riding in Houston it is probably the perfect mix of lightweight material and protection from the wind that gets the job done for the climate here. Fits fairly snug, I'm 6'0" and 151 lbs.

Pro features for pro product. Fabulous color
The cut of the gilet is great. It is comfortable and also aerodynamic. Front fabric is technical and provides good wind shield. Back is good for ventilation. Zipper is easy to use and effective as two sided.

Awesome addition
One of my favorite pieces. Versatile and good looking. Light, packs into a small package and places the wind well.
The double sided zipper is great for ventilation control and accessing the pockets.

Great little piece of cloth
Wonderfully light and breathable but very wind proof, this is the perfect vest for when the days start to get warmer but the air is still chill … early mornings, fast descends. Love it. 5 stars!

Best friend
Perfect when it is still a bit cold, also to go down mountain road. Easy to pack in the jersey pocket. Zip is working good. Fit is tight usually I have size medium but for the gilet I need L.

Perfect vest for Chilly starts
Rapha pro team vests are the best in the business. The double zipper is invaluable for temperature regulation. The best has excellent ventilation through the back. And it is highly packable.

Too small
I bought this for my husband who always takes a small in Rapha clothing but this was more like an extra small and so didn’t fit so I had to send it back. A shame as he liked the look of it

great gilet for cool temps. back panel breathable which allows you to keep it on a little longer. two way zipper is a must to access jersey pockets. no zipper issues after a dozen rides.

Men’s pro team lightweight vest
Perfect for those cold mornings and days when the wind chill makes you wonder why your out there, the breathable material on the back is amazing to keep the body temperature regulated

High speed flap
This vest arrived just in time for spring in the mountains. It’s a great weight. Super fit. However the shoulders flap on high-speed descents. The double zipper is a plus

Great kit
Light weight but keep the wind out, only thing I can find wrong with this product is no pocket but I suppose that’s what keeps it light. Brilliant piece of kit, love it

Look promising, size up (potentially)
204cm/95kg, normally XL, for the Pro Aero Jersey as well, However, had to return the XL and ordered a 2XL instead. Haven’t tried it ”live” yet, but it looks promising.

Quality as always.
I normally take a medium in most garments but this was way too small although I do understand the need for a tight fit. Still, good quality garment in the right size.

Rapha Gillet- Best piece of cycling kit
Probably the best piece of kit I have ever purchased. Thanks to the Rapha salesman in Soho, NY. Love it. My numerous followers I’m sure will be purchasing this piece

Good
I've had bad experiences with double-ended zips on other products. Hard to pull bottom zip back down or failing to stay down at all. This one works well, though.

Skip it.
Feels cheap when compared to other brands at similar price point. Waist band is ineffective is my main beef. Collar is a tad [nit picking] short in height.

Super light but effective
A very light windproof gilet. Easily packable extra layer with a 2 way zip to get to the pockets in your jersey easily. Great for descents or cold mornings.
