Description

The Explore Winter Long Sleeve Top is an insulating mid-layer made for exploring in milder conditions or, when paired with a jacket, in cold winter conditions. Made with Polartec® Power Grid™ fabric that is insulative yet highly breathable, the top helps to maintain body temperature and features the same relaxed fit as our long-sleeved Technical T-Shirts for complete freedom of movement when navigating technical sections of trail. Windproof panels on the shoulders and arms further aid temperature regulation and guard against damage. A zipped pocket on the upper arm keeps essentials close to hand while the integrated hanger loop makes drying the top easier after the ride.

Features

Merino Base Layer - Short Sleeve

CAD$120.00

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent value, multi use. I bought this as a mid-layer to wear under the Brevet Insulated Jacket for the colder months and for mountain biking in the Spring. As a mid layer it’s fantastic. Low bulk but high insulation. It also breathes very well. I’d wear this over a merino long sleeve down to -3c. Only thing worth noting is that it’s long so I have to tuck it under the Brevet jacket. Not an issue. I managed to wear it on the MTB at the weekend. It was fantastic. Around 5 degrees with wind chill and held up nicely with a base layer. The windproof sleeves and shoulders are excellent at deflecting the odd branch as well. I hope that this type of design makes it into the new MTB range.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Magic fabrics and versatile Pure magic.. The fabric is soft and lightweight, looks very thin, but is so incredibly warm and breathable at the same time. Impossible to overheat or undercool. I use this as a standalone top over a LS merino baselayer in chilly weather from 8-12°C (+gilet when windy) and with a SS merino baselayer from 12-15°C. Also use it as a second layer over a LS merino baselayer & under a Brevet insulated jacket from 0-8°C and when the weather is more unpredictable over a LS merino baselayer & under the Core winter jacket from -5+5°C. Often used while hiking, could imagine to use it during winter sports. Just bought a 2nd one; the green/green because it was too cheap (€58) to let it pass!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Jersey ever I love the explore/cargo line - hard to believe there was ever another way. This pullover has become my go to this winter and my favorite cycling Jersey period paired with the matching navy cargo winter tights. Beautiful, very odor resistant, wind block panels are more effective in use than I’d have thought from looking at it. Extremely soft, comfortable inside fleecey lining. With a base layer I’ve worn in riding in high 40s lower 50s F which I think is amazing for a Jersey, though I definitely wouldn’t go any colder without a jacket or something in my neck. True to fit, I wear at 5’ 11” 215 lbs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Warm, relaxed fit top. This is an interesting addition to the explore range. Really nice fit and comfort (though the wind-proof material in the arms can sound a bit crunchy!). It’s not a base layer so don’t expect to be able to easily and comfortably tuck it into your bib shorts, but as a looser layer it’s really good. I’ll probably use it most in spring on my mountain bike. Can see this, or some derivative becoming part of Rapha’s upcoming MTB range. The price is a bit much though. A sub £100 price tag would be more appropriate I feel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Overall, excellent jersey for bikepacking Excellent jersey. I wore it for most of the 600km An Turas More off-road bike packing trail through Scotland in June 2021, and it performed really well, keeping you warm but not overheated. Love the PolarTec PowerGrid fabric, and the windstopper fabric on the arms seems to work. There's a strange pocket on the upper right arm that seems a bit pointless... in the end I used it to store my earbuds but the you always forget to remove them before you take it off. That aside, after 6 days and 600km it still looked good (though see comment below) and didn't smell. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is this: I have the navy version, and there's a pink loop on the rear collar, I suppose to hang it up. I never used it to hang up, however one end of the loop has already come loose so it looks tatty and neats to be sewn to be fixed. Come on Rapha, if this is a jersey meant for the rigours of bikepacking, those sort of details need a bit more resilience.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great shirt a little overpriced even for Rapha I love this shirt and wear it often. That said, it is my first Rapha purchase where I felt it wasn't worth the price. This shirt would be a good value at $125.00 USD. The shirt is comfortable and breathes well. It's cold now where I live and I'm wearing this as a mid layer. I think it will do well as an outer layer in Spring and early Fall. I'm 6'1" and 215lbs and wearing XL comfortably. Most Rapha jerseys I wear are XXL.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredibly Versatile Love the relaxed fit, super comfortable, and very durable! Most versatile top I own... Bike, Hike, Run, Walk...you name it, this shirt is perfect for it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shirt for cooler days. Very comfortable and good looking. Needed something to wear to work that wasn’t a button up shirt but still looks somewhat dressed up.

Are the sizes M / L etc in this Pullover comparable to the M / L in the Men's Logo Hoodie? Generally I go for a L in Jerseys (Core & Classic) but the Logo Hoodie fits perfectly in a M.

Asked by: Ken D
We would recommend size Medium for you. The fit is closer to the Logo Hoodie than our Jerseys. As always we have a free returns policy should you need to return the item to us.

I don’t find the hip and waist measurements very relevant for a jumper but sleeve (and to a lesser extent body) length would be invaluable (as I’m afraid most Rapha long sleeved items are too short for me - I am 6’5” with long arms!)

Asked by: Ian London
You will be able to find the sizing guide in Chest, Waist and Hips on the item page. because fit is not just dependent on height but mostly on each body shape and customer's personal preference to how customer's prefer garments to fit, it is hard for us to be exact in sizing advice. If you are unsure we have a free 30 day return policy so you can order multiple sizes and then return the one that doesn't fit as good.

Is the fit of this pullover like that of the technical T-shirts?

Asked by: Tom W
The fit is more relaxed, like a technical t-shirt, as opposed to a jersey.
