Swift Jersey

Made from the same high-wicking fabric as Rapha’s Classic Sportwool Jersey, this special edition cycling jersey is inspired by the clouds of swifts that gather in the skies above Portland, the home of US cycling. Stylish details of the jersey include a flock print and ribbed collar and cuffs.

Tribute to a Cycling Mecca

Portland in Oregon is the home of North American cycling. The bicycle is an enduring icon of the city and so too is the swift. These birds fly thousands of miles in their lifetime and during the summer months congregate in Portland’s skies, as many as 30,000 at a time. Their summer rituals are much like those of cyclists, climbing and descending the neighbouring mountains. Thus was Portland the influence for this special edition Rapha jersey.

Rapha’s Swift Jersey is a vintage cycling jersey in the classic style. It has a jersey-rib neck and cuffs and a metal zipper for an old-school look. A long-cut back and side panels create a slim, race fit and the jersey features flock prints of swifts in flight and an embroidered Rapha logo. The inside of the jersey is finished with pink detailing for a deluxe look and feel.

The jersey is made from a merino-rich fabric that wicks moisture from the skin and the jersey has three large cargo pockets for excellent storage.
