6’2” 240 size XXL
Wish the front was a tad bit longer. Overall good Jersey. The sleeves are a little short. The black is more of a off black. It’s not very dark. I am slowly navigating towards a more aero fit the more I get into cycling. My advice I’d wait for a sale on anything core. If you are the fence about purchasing a jersey. I recommend the pro team or brevet

Sizing is off vs prior year’s jerseys
Tighter fit than previous Core jersey cut. I’ve purchased several of these jerseys over recent years. I was disappointed to receive these and find this year’s cut is noticeable tighter than previous. It feels almost a whole size smaller. Other than than they jersey is great as ever. But sizing is a major disappointment.

Excellent Summer Jersey for the price
This is an excellent summertime jersey for hot and humid weather. Living in Iowa, it gets pretty warm in June onward so I decided to buy the Core Lightweight jersey. It is super light and breathes nicely, letting the air come through the jersey to help stay cool. I like it so much I bought a second one in the neon pink which is really sharp. I then bought a Classic Flyweight jersey in black, but I have to say, for the money, I prefer he Core Lightweight jersey. I don't see the need to pay more for almost the same thing. I'm 6' 205lbs and wear the XXL because I like my jerseys to be a little loose because it helps me stay cool. My only quibble is the available colors, I wish it came in some kind of off-white color. For hot and humid conditions, this is my go-to jersey.

A fantastic jersey
An ideal hot-weather jersey for a fantastic prince. The mesh material in the front is just fantastic, and because it's Rapha, the construction of the jersey and the way it fits is just a cut above. Frankly, I can't believe these jerseys don't cost $120. Thank you, Rapha! I'm 5'11'' (180ish cm) and 170 lbs (77 kg) and a medium fits perfectly. I immediately bought a second jersey after my first ride. Honestly, I'm thinking about buying a third.

FOGCA protests We big boys are discrimated
It is a pity that only the core shirts from rapha are eligible for our members. As vice CEO of the fat, old and grumpy cyclists association chapter Belgium (FOGCA), I can only regret that the pro shirts are too small for us and we have to limit ourselves to the core shirts, which are otherwise of excellent quality.

The Perfect Coffee Ride companion
Core style is conservative and classic Rapha. At some point may be due for a slight freshening upgrade. 5ft 4inches 150 Ib wearing size small. Have a medium size and for my body i can do ok with both. A couple pounds heavier and the medium will work great and a couple pounds and the small
Fits wonderful. The pockets are positioned are
Slightly higher, but not as as high as my previous core jerseys. The material is lighter weight, which makes is a nice 70-low 90 degree F jersey option. Rapha pockets are as trusty as reliable swiss knife. They do the job of keeping your things in place and takes up quite a bit of bulk without any problem. Style is understated, sleeves are classic and shorter... i likened it as an understated jersey that -ages well, you will find yourself Grabbing it every now and then, like an old friend that never lets you down. A worthy example of rapha tastefulness, of which a stop over to a coffee shop will feel like a stylish halt to what could have been a hard day on the saddle.

Core Lightweight Jersey review
Although I've been cycling and buying kit for over 50 years, the core lightweight jersey was my first (most likely last) Rapha jersey purchase. After using the kit for a month or so, here are my reasons why: the fabric is light, but I wouldn't say it wicked moisture or cooled my torso particularly fast. The zip is rubbish; difficult to do up and problematic to alter when cycling. The rear pockets require the flex and dexterity of a contortionist to get stuff in and out. Would I recommend, or buy again? No.

STINKS
While the jersey is a nice design, the fabric is like the original miracle sport synthetics of the 80s. You wear it for even a short ride, and it'll stink! Also, the zipper was extremely hard to engage. I contacted Rapha for a refund, but no reply. Come on, Rapha!

Perfect for hot days!
This is a really good product, noticeably more lightweight that they're normal core product. Would recommend for hotter days in the saddle.

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.

Poor fit
Whilst being of reasonably good design and made of reasonable quality fabric, the fit is poor. Having bought Large in so many products for years, this was disappointing in its fit, especially for a relatively expensive and high end product.

Great in the heat
I wore this on a 30milr ride on the hottest day of the year. My wahoo claimed to record a temp of 36 on the ride and I can honestly say that even in black this jersey was breathable enough that I still felt comfortable

zipper issues
Great matls and design though the zipper needs to be improved; it may take awhile to engage it. It really leaves much to be desired for the price paid.

Men's Core Lightweight Jersey
nice touches with the elastic and material in the pockets. A bit tight for me (30-31 inch hips, 38 short jacket size), but look forward to future use.

Terrific Fabric
The fit is tight- I usually wear a Rapha large but needed an X-Large. Excellent material and light weight. Feels very nice.

Great product, but the fit...
I like the jersey. The material is great with good stretch, nice rubberized rear tail to keep from inching up, and well constructed. The fit isn't great, though. On me, the jersey is very tight in the waist and loose in the chest. My body is more pear shaped than the slim models the jersey is obviously designed for. I would very much appreciate another line of clothing that used the same material and overall design, but proportioned for those who aren't as slim and trim.

Summer jersey
Nice light weight summer jersey. Stays cool even in Arizona sun despite dark color. Only complaints are that the sleeves are too short, the collar too high for a summer jersey and they put the zipper cover tab at the neck instead of down at the bottom of the zipper so when riding, the bottom part of the zipper has direct contact with your shorts and can chafe the shorts leaving a mark on the Lycra. Otherwise, I would recommend it as a nice inexpensive summer jersey.

TopTee
Ben 189cm en weeg 87 kilo en heb maat XL, deze heeft een goede pasvorm en sluit goed aan. Bij armen/ oksel enigszins krap/ kort (lichaamsbouw), maar niet voelbaar of hinderlijk. Mijn volgende aanschaf zal een XXL zijn om het verschil te ervaren. De kraag is wat hoog, wat er mooi uitziet, maar ik kan me voorstellen dat niet iedereen dit fijn vindt (voor mij niet hinderlijk).
Verder lekker luchtig en fijn wanneer het heel warm is (zonder onder-shirt) en goede SPF.
