Rapha Brevet: For The Audacious
A new iteration of our iconic collection engineered for true endurance athletes. The riders who are in it for the long haul. Self-supported and single-minded, this collection provides the technical edge required to turn struggle into liberation far from the glow of civilisation.
WHAT IS BREVET?
From the audacious spirit of early racers came ‘Audax’ and with it, the Brevet: a physical certificate of endurance that serves as the definitive proof of a long-distance challenge conquered. The Brevet collection is a technical, high-visibility system with additional storage engineered for long-distance or multi-day riding. New for 2026, it has been designed to meet the demands of ultra racing, validated by TCR champions Victor Bosoni and Jana Kesenheimer, offering a performance edge for self-supported adventures. Every piece is designed to endure the elements long after you have left signs of life behind.
THE BREVET STRIPES
Integrated Visibility: Two horizontal stripes have been ever-present on our Brevet jerseys, gilets and jackets. More than a mere signifier of true endurance, they incorporate integrated high-visibility and retroreflective materials strategically placed to ensure you are seen when headed into dark, remote areas long after the sun has set.
Seeing Things: During multi-day efforts, accumulated fatigue can lead to a psychedelic state; it is imperative you are seen on the road. These elements ensure essential safety from sunrise to sunset.
BREVET AIR POCKETS
Expansive Storage: Long-distance riding requires more supplies. New Brevet Jerseys feature an innovative floating five-pocket system that maximises carrying capacity and airflow.
Feel the Flow: Working seamlessly with the new Brevet Cargo Bib Shorts III and Brevet Wind Gilet III, this rear pocket system lifts away from the body when loaded. Working with an integrated mesh panel, they prevent heat build-up on the lower back and ensure your kit remains stable across rough terrain. Combined with the four cargo pockets on the bib shorts, the system provides ample room for valuables, packable layers and whatever local delicacy catches your hungry eye after hours in the saddle.
TIME TO LOAD UP AND RIDE OUT.

We ensure that every gram of kit contributes to a rider’s comfort and performance, keeping you moving day and night. without becoming a burden, reducing the need to waste time stopping to adjust your layers.
