Lightweight Jersey
The Rapha Lightweight Jersey has been designed for the hardest, hottest and most demanding rides. On the big day, this is the jersey to reach for. The jersey is made from an ultra-lightweight fabric that is extremely breathable and has a merino blend for comfort.
Regulating body temperature in hot conditions is crucial to performance and the Lightweight Jersey has a full-length zip and carefully chosen colours to help keep the rider cool. There are two large cargo pockets for storage and an additional zipped ‘ballast pocket’ runs the width of the jersey, ideal for storing a gilet or arm warmers. The jersey also has a pump sleeve stitched into one of the pockets and a discreet zipped valuables pocket. The left sleeve features a contrast armband for that trademark Rapha finish.
"When I was in Australia in the summer and it was hot, I mean really hot, the Lightweight Jersey became my favorite piece of clothing. Some days I would actually forget I had it on. On six-hour rides, the breathable material and the mesh section on the back kept me cool in 45-degree heat."
- Kristian House, Rapha Condor British National Road Race Champion 2009
"a perfect form-fit cut that's neither too tight nor too loose and nary a thread of excess fabric hanging about when you're in the drops."
