Light and breathable
Super comfortable and light. I wore it in really hot and humid weather and didn't feel it was weighing on me. I ordered and XS but I think my next order will be an S, because this one feels a little tight on the waist. I'm 1.67 m, 55 kg, petite.

Perfect for summer rides
Great jersey!
Like with the classic Core jersey, I ordered a size smaller because I wanted a more tight fit.
The fabric is thin and breathable, which makes it perfect for hot summer days.
It is a bit more affordable than other jerseys but retains the high quality of Rapha products! I would recommend.

Great jersey
Great lightweight jersey used in 29 degree heat. Am size 12 and M was good snug fit. Only criticism is there is no zip pocket

My favourite summer jersey
Love love love this jersey. Fantastic on hot days. Looks good and so comfortable to wear. The only slight downside for me is it is a little long in the body but then I am only 5’ 3” so a little short for most cyclists!

Great jersey to have in rotation
I like the feel of the fabric and the design of the pockets. It looks great. With respect to breathability and wicking sweat, keep in mind I ride in South Florida with 99% humidity during the summer, the jersey fabric is not lightweight enough. Alternatively, I rode in a different area with 1500 ft elevation, and the jersey performed great for wicking and keeping me comfortable on descents.

it's good value for money.
I loved my core lightweight jersey. I bought the pink one, and it's very pink (almost
fluorescent). My weight is 56kg and my height 1.63m, and I usually use XXS on the normal Core jersey and fits perfectly, so I bought the XXS for the lightweight too. But this lightweight I think it's a little smaller. So probably the XS it would fit better.

great fit!
Excellent fit and true to the size guide. Got the bright pink and it is fun and visible on the road. Not quite as "airy" as i was hoping for, but i tend to ride really hot, and this is far superior (cooler) than my other jerseys. looking forward to a lot of miles in this jersey!

Comfortable & sharp
This jersey is very comfortable and good looking. I like the longer arm length, the light and breathable mesh material, and the close but not tight fit. It's a nice alternative to my race fit jerseys when I'm feeling like I want a little more looseness.

Great value available in many pretty colours
True to size, material is very soft but feels flimsy when compared with other Rapha higher-end jerseys, but the value is unbeatable for the money, and they come in pretty pastel colours. It's a good starter kit if you are new to cycling.

Perfect jersey for hot weather
My new favorite jersey. The fabric is soft and breathable. It’s the one I always pick on a hot muggy day. I have much more expensive jerseys that don’t perform nearly as well as this one. I’ll definitely buy more.

Great Fit, Great Feel!
I am 5’2 and weight 132 lbs and have an athletic build (bigger shoulders and biceps) and the medium fits perfectly. The material had a great feel to it and the shirt overall is very comfortable.

Highly recommend for hot, humid days.
This is a great jersey to wear on hot, humid days. It has a comfortable not too tight fit. As someone who does not do well in the heat, this jersey keeps me cool. Highly recommend!

Soft and Breathable
It is true to size. I am 5'5 128 lbs and got a XS. Material is good for warmer days. I did wear it when it was cool; I just put a windproof jacket on top.

Fantastica
Incredibilmente leggera. Soffro il caldo e non ero convinta che questa maglietta avrebbe fatto la differenza. Invece mi devo ricredere e non vedo l'ora di usarla per un giro lungo. Per ora l'ho usata per pochi km ma con una temperatura di circa 34° gradi e sentivo il fresco passare lungo la schiena! Ho preso una M, sono una taglia 42 di sopra e non volevo un capo troppo aderente, quindi per me va bene, ma mi sarebbe andata anche la S tranquillamente. Ne compreremo altre.

Order a size down
I love the material of this jersey, but it is a little bit big and baggy, and way too long. I got a size small and definitely should have gotten an XS- I am 5'5" and 125 lb. I love the color (white) and its very classy, just dont love the sizing!

Great material but alittle too long
Definately light weight and comfortable. The only thing is the length, it is long for a petite build. The band will ride up while cycling and the folds in front is not very flattering. Other than that, the design and material is great. Another thing is that if the collar is not too high, it will be most suited for humid weather like Asia. I would be so happy if Rapha decides to start a petite range.

Love the jersey but not the zipper
Great true to size fit. Nice bright color but hopefully it doesn’t fade like my other Core jerseys (despite washing in cold water and laying flat to dry). The zipper on this jersey is a big disappointment. It feels cheap and is very difficult to zip/unzip. I think a jersey at this price point should have a quality zipper. This jersey is definitely cooler than the regular Core jersey.

Lightweight & comfortable
Extremely light weight and very comfortable with a coupe of deep pockets on the back for ease, this had quickly become my favourite jersey. Ideal for cycling in very hot / humid environments, although make sure you wear a proper sports bra with it otherwise you might find yourself falling victim to the “Rachel Green” effect, as I did in the post ride photos !

Good for Summer
I have some issues with this jersey, in that it rides up and the grip at the bottom doesn't seem to grip my bib shorts (which are Rapha). It is see-through, as an FYI, but is quite nice. Also, the bottom lining material keeps coming misaligned, so I have to keep adjusting it.. overall, I love the lightweight jersey it's great for summer.

Great quality Jersey-
I've been looking at ordering a Rapha jersey for over a year. Finally decided to do it. I ordered the beige ultralight core. I really like it. It definitely has a clean crisp nice look to it. I definitely get looks on the bike trail wearing it more than if I'm just wearing my old stained up kit. However I get the most waves/etc when I just wear my black pearl Izumi jersey with my black shorts. I am 5 foot 4 1/2 and weigh about 142 pounds. I kind of have solid/big biceps and some bike shirts really constrict my arms which bugs me. The rapha fits my arms well but not too tight! It's good quality in a subtle look with the beige. I've only worn it three times but it's definitely my "go to" on hot days now. I may get another in a different color. I also got the regular core in the pink. It's very similar fit but the fabric is definitely different and I haven't figured out if I like one better than the other yet… I think I love them both equally? Time will tell.

Better than first impressions suggest
I bought the peach jersey as a present for my cycling wife. At first she recoiled at the colour, thinking it was too close to her pale skin colour. I was ready to return, but by then she had tried it in on, loved the fit and feel of the fabric and changed her mind. Super light and comfortable fitted jersey it seems...

Core Lightweight Jersey
For this jersey I bought in Small this time because of my previous purchase of the Core jersey in M size. However, it turned out to be a little fitted especially across the bust, so perhaps M would have been a better fit. I like the material very much... definitely more lightweight than the Core Jersey.

A wonderful addition to my summer riding kit.
This is a perfect jersey for riding in warm/ hot weather.
I love the off white colour. It feels very summery.
I would have rated this 5 stars if there was a zippered pocket. Other than that.. it’s a wonderful addition to my summer riding kit.

orange, not pink
Overall a good product, it looks and feels pretty much as described. The only thing I disliked was the colour: it's more of a neon orange than a pink which was advertised :( It is very high visibility though, so it's perfect for road biking.

Good quality, nice colour but size ran bigger
Comfortable and good quality material. But I don't know why the sizing for this jersey was quite loose even though I got my usual XS size. The other Rapha XS jerseys have fit well on me, but this felt looser especially around the collar.

Took a tumble, Rapha survived!
I have to say I am extremely impressed by the durability of this jersey. I took a serious tumble and incurred some pretty bad injuries - but my Rapha jersey came out with one minor hole. Couldn't be happier! It's also very comfortable.

Good fit and very breathable
Perfect jersey for hot days. I love the wide elastic at the bottom of the jersey, gives a snug fit, and prevents the jersey from rolling up. The fabric is nice and breathable in hot climate and on cooler days perfect with a baselayer.
