Description

Made from a rich merino wool blend, the Rapha Winter Collar is a versatile product which is ideal for both winter training and city cycling. An extension of Rapha’s base layer system, the merino fabric provides excellent protection against the cold and is highly breathable. Available in three different colours, the stretch in the fabric means it can be pulled over the head for extra protection on particularly cold days.

Reviews:

‟Three editors nominated this neck accessory as the latest absolutely mandatory optional piece of cold-weather riding kit.”
– Bicycling Magazine Editor's Choice

To maintain and protect your merino products we recommend using Rapha Merino Wash »

Rapha Merino Wash has been specially formulated for Rapha merino products, with a gentle action that cleans without stripping out the natural oils that are the key to merino’s performance. Used regularly, the wash will remove dirt and refresh merino garments thanks to ingredients that include Rapha’s Ventoux fragrance. Inspired by the plants and herbs that grow on the slopes of the ‘Giant of Provence’, the wash also has natural Cedar extract to help repel moths.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good to wear in the beginning and end of a ride I bought this to protect my neck during long rides in Scotland. It is warm and keep clean. It feels good over the mouth if needed. But I rarely use it that way because I don't get that cold and it makes my glasses go fogy. good stuff. The wine/red colour is fantastic. So classy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A winter essential Four years strong, just bought my second. Comfortable, warm, versatile and the usual high quality of a Rapha garment, this collar is an essential for winter riding. I never leave home without it:

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great buff for winter riding Thin Marino buff is great for winter riding, I just use mine for a commute to work at the moment but could see myself using it for winter training. My preference is still for the former design with a thicker band that was slightly more comfortable on your nose but this still works quite well. It’s long enough on cold days to stretch up and fit under a cap at the back to cover ears and is relatively easy to pull down. The only thing I’ve found is difficulty in adjusting of your helmet strap is over the top of it, so now I just clip my helmet first then pull the buff up over the top.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight But Nice and Warm Even though I have a Rapha Merino Winter Base Layer which has a long neck you can pull up over your face I tend to leave the neck down as normal and wear the Winter Collar instead Being 93% Merino Wool it is lovely and warm and you don't know you are wearing it The bit I hate though is when I take it off.... chilly !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A winter essential Lightweight, breathable, warm (but not too hot). I've worn this on days in the 40'sF (4-8C) down to 26F (-4C). For really cold rides, it can be pulled up over your chin and keep your neck even warmer. Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A winter staple A truly versatile product - keeps the neck warm, and can then be pulled up according to conditions to cover chin, mouth and nose - ideal for those frosty morning rides and chilly descents. The merino is super soft and just the right weight to assure warmth but to also allow you to comfortably breath through the fabric.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not up to Rapha standards Definitely overpriced, and not up to the usual standard that you expect from Rapha , material just don’t feel right .

Which blue most closely matches the navy of the classic jersey? Navy or Dark navy? 

Asked by: Jimmr
Hi, both colours would work well with the navy Classic Jersey II, but the navy Winter Collar is a closer match.
