Just right for cool morning rides over a jersey
Oddly enough, the color (Rose Brown) matches nearly exactly a POC Essential long sleeve jersey I have in Propylene Red. When I wear them together they look like a matched set.

Men's Core Gilet - comfortable but zip isn't great
Good fit, comfortable and effective. However... the zip is a problem. It doesn't engage easily and can disengage before you've zipped up unless you're careful.

Garment & Clothing sizing
Always, select a size up, in this case you are always bigger than you think… Rapha could actually have the garments made to reflect the sizing typically used.

Excellent addition
Great item! Little chilly? This gilet keeps that wind from piercing through. Great quality zippers and fabric. I love the cycling stories written inside.

Could be better.
it gets the job done, warms up a little when you need it, but it makes too much noise when there is some wind, so its kind of annoying.
It runs larger.

Better than expected
I do not like rear pockets on vesta as I already have them on the jersey. So this vest works for me. Give me a chest pocket for easy access to nutrition.

Sizes are bigger than jerseys
I ordered an S because that is my size for jerseys and I should have ordered an XS. The sizing does not match jerseys which really is surprising.

Well made essential.
Well made item but a little oversized and some flappping which is strange because in general everytrhing in the large size from Rapha fits me perfectly.

Great light, packable layer
Very useful warm layer to ward off just a bit of a chill, but rolls up very small to store in your pocket later when it warms up or when you warm up.

Great Vest
The fit and quality is good. Just as a personal thing, I am really not a fan of the two-way zipper. It takes a little bit more fiddling when zipping.

Better than average
I was impressed with the performance and style of this gilet. If it was to be improved, it would have pockets at the back like on a road jersey

I like it
It really does it work to keep you warm on chilling mornings and I like that is very small when you fold it so it fits on the jersey’s pockets

Core Gilet
Really lightweight rain/wind gilet. Only thing that could make it better would be a slit in the back that let’s you reach your shirt pockets

Lack of pockets is a problem.
Lack of pockets is a problem, and the more expensive version that does have pockets is a weird fabric which doesnt match the jersey.

Meh…
Low quality materials, zipper sucks, strange fit… I got it on sale but if I had paid full price I would be pretty disappointed.

Size UP!
I normally wear a large but needed an XL with this vest. Works well but disappointed it doesn't have at least one pocket

Love the fit and feel of this Gilet. The 2 way zipper helps for easy access to your jersey. Just wish it had pockets.

A great Gilet with a minor issue.
A great Gilet. But I have an issue to the back gripper. It is to weak which makes the gilet go up.
