Key Considerations

  • Thermoregulation

    A balance of insulation and breathability is vital to keeping your engine purring. From base layers and jerseys built with merino wool, to innovative fabrics that regulate airflow, having the ability to adjust the thermostat is key to a successful day out.

  • Packability

    The correct cargo is crucial to being prepared for any weather. Rapha's range of lightweight outer layers are easily stored and readily accessible in pockets and bike luggage.

  • Weather Protection

    Our jackets and gilets to provide emergency weather coverage in volatile spring conditions plus insulation when temperatures drop. Lightweight protection that doesn't slow you down, and could even make you faster.

  • Designed by Riders

    Every Rapha design is built to help you focus on the journey ahead, whatever the weather. Ergonomic pocket configurations, two-way zips, lockdown pullers and reflective elements all add up to frictionless functionality and a better riding experience.
