Almost perfect.
Love this jersey and it really does what it says it does. I ordered a size up and the fit is spot on. Love the front pockets and the rear pockets are good too and well positioned. If I could change anything it would have a two way zip and there would be more practical colour’s available. Maybe some darker ones as it has reflective strips on the jersey. But on the whole a great jersey that is almost perfect to the bristling conditions.

great all weather jersey
Great changing weather jersey, keeps wind out as promised, waterressistant is more than decent even on longer rides unless it is drashing for hours than you need an extra layer against the waterfront. A bit warmer compared to the pro variant thanks to the added insulation. Love the design, fit is as expected thight but right for on the bike. the brevet stripes are also good for evening & night rides, pleanty of vivibility

Brevet long sleeve jacket
This is one of my favourite Rapha garments, warm but breathable, I’ve wore this at 4 degrees with just a base layer and it was very comfortable, looks and feels great, what I would say is, there isn’t a lot of stretch so take this into consideration and possibly size up one size from your normal size. I purchased the red one which is great in low light for visibility. I’d say buy one, you won’t be disappointed.

Warm, but not too warm; excellent for fall/spring
This is an excellent jersey/jacket; perfect for October/November riding in New England. I have used it in 50-60F temperatures with nothing underneath, 45-50 with a light cotton, wicking sleeveless shirt, and 35-45 with a thin merino base layer. Very flexible. Wind protection is phenomenal.
As any European jersey, it runs at least one size smaller than the corresponding typical US sizes.

Great garment, but poor sizing.
Was very pleased to see the introduction of this jersey, on arrival appears very nicely made, warm fabrics in the right places. However it is not Brevet sizing! As always I ordered a large, this came up very small, too small for use.
Unfortunately I’ve had to return the item, however I will be replacing it with a larger size, hence why I couldn’t provide a higher rating as yet.

Versatile shoulder season jersey with no give
Great for autumn riding so far. Lived up to the pitch of not needing another layer for a cool and damp few hours riding. A tighter fit for a Brevet jersey, especially around the bottom of the jersey and whilst the side pockets may be useful, they're a squeeze to use. Fingers crossed it doesn't shrink over time...or I don't expand!

Great technically with a snug fit
Great fit for me, a little more snug than normal Brevet but I like that. Technically brilliant functioning jersey with one minor gripe. Access to rear pockets is a little difficult due to the pocket entry being quite high up my back. Hard to fumble about round there if the pockets have a few standard items in them.

Teeny tiny top
Seems good quality but sadly my husband hasn't been able to confirm that as the sizing is awful. He is a medium in other Rapha tops but this didn't even come close to closing up on him! Now it;s out of stock in the larger size so a lost sale for Rapha I'm afraid!

Really expensive, unnecessary piece of kit.
You’d be better off with the infinium jersey and a base layer

Instant go-to...
During winter it's often cold, windy or wet - often all 3.. this jacket was an instant go-to for every ride over the last few weeks as the snow and ice have gone, but we are waiting on the temperatures to rise a little. It's warm without being sweaty, wind and rain proof - absolutely brilliant!

Great polyvalent fitted winter jacket
Great fitted (aero enough) winter jacket excellent for riding between 0 to 14 Celsius with just a fine wool base layer under. Good sweet evacuation compare to the level of protection. Just open the jacket if you want to do a hard effort on a climb. I'm 186cm for 70kg and the Medium is perfect.

Rapha windstopper jersey
Looks great and windstopper material is bombproof but the area for ventilation is too small so you’ll sweat . My other windstopper jerseys either have the back and a strip down the sleeves with a roubaiix fleece or the sides have the strip the stop you sweating but stay warm.

Buy one now or forever be cold
The best of jackets…ever! I’ve had a few and I’ve always had to double it up with something. I wear a mesh vest and this, my commute is 16 miles in Scotland and it’s perfect. Not cheap but far from overpriced, it’s clearly been designed by a genius. Thank you!

Great long sleeve jersey - 3 seasons
Good2go- it’s not a jacket. But has side pockets. Brevet style- With thin layer I’d say 40F is still comfortable. Don’t have a lot of hours in it but a couple rides in mid 40F, overcast we’re fine. It seems like a go to all around piece for shoulder seasons.

Excellent
Great jacket, wind and waterproof without overheating although when it’s gets to 10c it can start getting a tad warm but lowering the zip helps. Great colours. I’m usually a small but went medium which fits pretty good as the material is not stretchy.

Awesome soft shell
New go to for the commute and winter club ride. Red is super visible and with the right base layer works in a wide range of conditions. Significant upgrade from my old pro-team jacket. Bought a large, though I’m typically a medium in the classic fit

Brevet wind stopping Jersey
The bed item I bought from Rapha
Absolutely worth to have in changeable Irish weather.
Stopping wind completely without sweating over thin base layer or t shirts.
It’s supposed to be not waterproof, but I am absolutely dry during small showers.

Bomber Jersey
Not a ton of stretch but it is really versatile.......winter/spring rides layer up or down to fit the day best around 5 degrees C. Pockets are perfect for food, pump, tool bag, phone, etc. Really good and visible without being a yellow hi-viz.

Rain en damp weather jacket
This gaba like explorer jacket is great for damp to rainy conditions. I use it to commute but also for 4 hour gravel rides. When it starts to rain harder i add a gore tex rain jacket.
The fabric feels like it can take a hit. Very durable.

Excellent for cold weather. Warmer than expected
Gamechanger for 10-5C. This is more like mild winter jersey. Dont wear it when warmer than 10C. Pockets could be easier to access. Pretty tight for Brevet fit (I usually wear S for Brevet collection but this jersey is M for me).

This is absolutely brilliant, this is the first jersey I’ve ever had that wicks away the sweat and keeps me warm and dry underneath!! I use a Rapha merino base underneath which is also amazing. Perfect combination

wind Jersey
I use it an autumn-spring jacket and when the weather is cold with based layer, that keep me worm. I wish they will make the same module but with deep winter protection, and colors other than blue or black.

Do you really need to be cycling to wear this!
I really like the feel and weather protection the Gore tex infinium fabric provides. The side pockets are a great addition. I need pockets to warm hands on cold day. I wished the sizing was a tad looser.

Versatile and breathable
Bought this for cooler, wet temperatures and this piece of kit is versatile up to about 80 F without sacrificing any performance. I think it’s the best Rapha item I own, and well worth the money.

Great jersey, but slim with high pockets.
Great jersey for riding in inclement weather but really slim and the rear pockets are way too high. If you’re going for this one then from experience it’s sized closer to Pro-Team than Brevet.

Great Jersey/Jacket
This is a great piece. Well made, versatile, sized like pro team line. I also own the pro team version of this which is cut too small in some places (I wear size S or XS in pro team line).

Fantastic piece of kit. Great colour and even on chilly days is all you need to keep you toasty. It has the 'look' of quality... I just hope I don't fall off and rip it!!

Pro jacket with pro features.
Perfect jacket with a base layer. Wind proof, water resistant and looks pro! I sized up as the material doesn’t stretch at all! Perfect for Aut, winter and spring.

Good piece of kit for cooler weather
I bought this for riding in less clement weather and was looking for something warm, windproof and able to withstand a bit of drizzle without the “boil in the bag” disadvantages that come with full waterproofs. It definitely fulfils the brief. So far I have ridden in temperatures from around 4 to 10 degrees with just a sleeveless merino baselyer and whilst nippy at first you soon get up to a comfortable temperature. It seems to dissipate sweat well whilst remaining very windproof. Also has kept me dry in drizzle and about 5 minutes of heavier rain before I got inside. I suspect it wouldn’t withstand heavy rain for much longer (which isn’t its intended use to be fair). It seems true to my usual Rapha medium size and the neck is a good size (not too tight on my 16” collar) so I can actually do it up to keep the wind out. The reflective details is great and the quality up to usual Rapha standards. If I could make a couple of improvements I’d do away with the side zip pockets and just have one zip compartment at the back for keys etc and I’d make the back pockets a bit deeper (and maybe even add a flap to keep the weather out). All in all though, a good purchase.
