Great for hot and humid rides
This is my favourite jersey for riding in hot and humid places, usually 30+ Degrees Celsius. It is highly breathable and light. Very comfortable.
I weigh 74Kg and am 174 cm and I wear large.
Some very minor irritations:
I wished the fabric was a little softer. On longer rides, longer than 3hrs, can get some chafing.
The sleeve on the side with the Rapha signature band feels slightly tighter than the side without.
Overall, I would still recommend this

Classic - Must have for high temps.
Highly recommend for high temperatures and high usage. I live in TX and used this jersey all summer long - washing twice a week - riding 400-600 miles per month. Zip pocket in back is nice - as well as the "vent mesh" behind each pocket. Form and fit worked well for my body type (5'6" - 155lbs - thin stocky). Quality zip front - classic Rapha strip on sleeve will immediately make you stick out to people in the know. Pick a color and enjoy the ride!

Good one for hot weather.
Light weight fabric that dries up quick. It is very suitable for hot weather. I wear only this jersey with a bib shorts in summer. Only cons is that since its fabric is thin, it is easily showing salts over your body that is from your sweat after a long ride. Another is a size difference to Classic 2 jersey for which I wear size S, while I wear size M for this. I do not know if this is standard or Classic 2 is a standard.
By the way, I love this jersey

Great kit for HOT days
Great piece of kit, the weight is very light and perfect for HOT days, although I have thrown on a heavy base layer and worked well in 15-20c temp. Sizing is as described, I am 5'9" and 38in chest. I am in between sizes so i went down a size to get a more race fit, otherwise I find the is too much bunching in the chest. The fit is very close the the Classic Jersey, i was advised they are the same cut but do find the jersey a bit snugger.

Why not in white?
Using it in south of France during canicule (very high temperatures). Feels cool and wicks away sweat well. Appreciate the lower pockets which make retrieving gels, phone etc much easier than with the Super Lightweight Jersey I bought last year. The biggest improvement for use in very hot weather would be for it to white rather than the rather insipid grey. Better reflector of heat and more complementary for the sun tan!

Quality and fits well.
Fits tighter and arms are tighter than the core jersey. I am 6’1 and 155lbs and ordered medium. I like a race fit and that worked. Like I said arms a little tight with 13 in nice measurement but the end of the sleeve meant to go below the start of your bicep and I have longer arms. Very light and almost see through but I’ve worn it with a thermal long sleeve and it’s fine for cooler days. Thin lower part has held up.

Love It. Lightweight, breathable, premium feel
Nothing to see here guys. If you ain't buying this jersey either you are straight hating or just don't know what are you looking for. There are very nice, breathable, lightweight, the colors are nice and fits very very nice. Also the price/value is almost unbeatable in this tier of "let me spend money in cycling clothing" category, didn't feel like I was being robbed going through checkout.

Great lightweight summer jersey!
This is a great summer weight jersey. It keeps me cool in the high temperatures and relative humidity of southeastern Ohio. While other manufacture's jerseys are see through, this jersey is opaque. The pockets are well constructed and the zippered pocket is especially helpful for my license, credit card, and a few bills. My only quibble are that the sleeve are a little tight.

True flyweight material for hot weather
True flyweight fabric! I use this as a gravel jersey and its fantastic. ultra lightweight , very comfortable and the pockets don't sag. Just like other classic jerseys in terms of fit. I have a 41.5 chest, 34.5 waist, 5' 11' 166# and I wear a Large. Fit is about perfect. Not race tight but not loose or "club fit". No flapping even at speed. Just about perfect.

Very comfortable for very hot days
I found this jersey especially comfortable for riding in very hot days. The knit is very good to evaporate sweat and avoid dripping. I wore it in summer days with +30°C with +3-hour rides. Long sleeves are good to avoid sun burns in those long summer days.
It can be also worn with a base layer for days with a milder weather working as a spring or early fall jersey.

Good but room for improvement.
The jersey is generally good. However is misses on some points. Its lacking a hole in a pocket for keeping audio cables inside the jersey. Also the the extra pocket with a zipper should open upwards and not on the side. Things can get lost and they are usually valuable. The merino version gets both of these points right and I thought the design would be similar.

Poor material choice !
Disappointing purchase. Material is not soft, jersey is not at all cool to ride in. Does not seem to be breathable or allow any ventilation.

Peachy
My 2nd flyweight classic. Previously was 1 size larger and now with S size it fits me better. I’m H:163 cm/ W: 82cm with a bulging belly. I love the matching color of the peach with grey armband. Rapha should put reflective details across the board instead of selective Pro range. It’s not an expensive thing to add and this is still missing in classic flyweight

Thin and ideal for summer
I got this as part of Rapha’s jersey downsize offer and I’m glad I did. Only had one ride in it (and it rained, which I wasn’t expecting as that’s not what a flyweight jersey is for, but it dried really quickly when the rain cleared) but the fit is good and the pockets sizeable.
I’d probably prefer it maybe 20mm longer at the front if I had to be picky.

Weird sizing
Weird sizing, extremely tight on arms and shoulders, baggy on waist. Unpleasant material.

A must-have for hot weather.
Noticeably lightweight, while still durable. Material not as thin and stretchy (and delicate) as the Pro Team Flyweight (the most breathable jersey from Rapha). Not see through, if that matters to you. I ride in Texas in the summer, often in 90-95°F heat, and this jersey keeps me noticeably more comfortable than the thicker Core jersey.

I don’t understand who this jersey is for.
I can never figure out what size to buy from Rapha. The Pro Team jersey in size Large fits like it was tailored for me. This jersey in size large is a billowy blouse. I don’t like the fit BUT the reason I CAN NOT wear it is the grippers on the arm are so tight that they make red rings on my biceps rendering a medium all but impossible.

The best jersey for hot and humid conditions
Even in environments with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius and humidity above 70%, this jersey is very comfortable as long as I ride my bike. The sweat quickly spreads and evaporates, making me feel very cool. However, the material is very thin and delicate, so I have to be careful not to get it hooked on something like a needle.

Quality product!
Love the lightweight yet comfortable fabric. This is ideal in the hot summer here in Melbourne Australia. Great features, really like the small zip pocket for valuables. My only issue is the sizing...i'm normally a large, and when i received it and tried it on it was very tight, so i returned it for a XL, which is a little loose :(

This jersey is my jam!
Fits Great. The cut on this molds perfect to my body like its an extra layer of thin skin. Also the quality of the material to amazing. The fabric material quickly drys the sweat. Very breathable, so maybe not so ideal for "very" cold mornings but why would you want to anyways. This jersey feels aero, brother!

Great hot weather jersey.
Great lightweight, super breathable jersey for the super hot months. I live in a place where it hits 90 by 11 am in the summer. This jersey is great at wicking sweat, and keeping you cool on those brutal summer centuries. Great pocket placement, and stitching. Plenty of room for everything you need to carry.

Good but not as good as the pro team range
I live in the north of England and bought this jersey at the beginning of summer. Barely had the weather to recommend using this over the lightweight version.
If I had my time again, I'd buy the pro team flyweight jersey because it looks nicer and I've found the pro team range feels and performs better.

Lindo y de buena calidad
Es un buen maillot. Yo compre el azul marino y el color es mucho más lindo en persona de lo que se ve en las fotos. La tela se siente de muy buena calidad y respira muy bien en salidas con mucho calor y humedad. El ajuste del maillot es muy cómodo, es ceñido al cuerpo pero no muy apretado.

Great cycling jersey for hot weather conditions! Lightweight, breathable, looks good, and feels good. This is my first purchase from Rapha, and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend this jersey to anyone looking for a quality, good looking, jersey that feels good on the skin.

Should have bought ages ago, excellent.
Should have bought in Spring, late summer means I didn’t wear as much as I would have liked. Great jersey, no riding up, twisting or any other discomfort. Flyweight indeed, and let’s the air flow through as I was hoping, the most breathable and wicking top I’ve ever had. Fantastic.

My go to jersey in summer months
I've bought a few of these over the years and they have become my go to summer top. Love the fit and texture and lightness of the jersey. Easy to add warm with a base layer and gilet for the windy days. Just so versatile and very well made. Overall my favourite Rapha jersey .

Thin jersey for hot and humid climates
If you look for a well built, thin and therefore lightweight jersey (probably for hot and humid climates) then look no further. For UV protection I expect to need an additional layer underneath because the material is *very* thin--but that's the whole point of this model.

Great fit!!
I am I big guy it’s hard to find good fitting clothes, I’m 6.4 240 lbs and have finally found something that I really like, great fit, can use the back pockets, and love the look of Rapha. Often the back pocket ride up on your back if you have a wider back.
Loved it

Good but not great
Light fabric, comfortable, fits well at the shoulder arms level but very loose at the bottom/ pockets. Annoying when coure carrying you phone or food. I bought it for warmer days/ relax rides and overall I’m satisfied with my purchase even though i prefer the pro fit.
