Excellent base layer
I love this base layer. It's perfect for when the temps are still too cool to just have a jersey on and it regulates your temperature when it warms up a bit later in the ride. Sizing runs pretty accurately too.

Great performance
It feels really good on body when dry and when wet as well. The sizing is specific. I would normally wear M, but S fits me better. I guess all Rapha product are a bit larger, but after I found what fits me, it is pretty consistent.

Excellent Base layer
An excellent base layer . I previously bought a medium but switched to a small as well as it gives a slightly more snug fit . Excellent in both cold and hot conditions and required minimum washing . Excellent fig travel trips .

Great & Versatile Baselayer
Great baselayer that’s really versatile, can be used on proper chilly days with another baselayer or just with a jersey for spring, cool summer days. Really comfy to the touch and good enough looking to wear jeans if you want

Every day base layer
I wear this for almost every ride up to 75 degrees. I am a 185 lbs and the Large is a little saggy for a base layer but it's doable. Quality is high. It doesn't hold the smell that most base layers do which is a major bonus.

Great fit, comfy, but dries slowly
Great base layer or a bum around the house T. Not as good as the synthetics, as I'm generally freezing post ride at the shop in the winter months. Takes too long to dry, but it is comfy. Recommend for early spring riders

Excellent Base Layer
I bought this base layer a while ago and yesterday was the first I have had in on. It was great, light, warm and regulated my body heat it made me feel comfortable during my ride, wicked away any perspiration. Great top.

Beautiful stuff
I had purchased the long sleeve merino base layer, so knew already how well made this base layer was. Stylish, the colours match the pictures, good quality merino blend. The M (1,75m / 72 kg) made for a comfortable fit.

Great Gear
Runs just slightly larger than what you normally would wear (I’m a small jersey but XS base layer). No uncomfortably placed seams, wool is soft and almost see-through thin. I wouldn’t change a thing about this piece.

Great and warm
Very smooth and warm, I wear it sometimes to feel warmer at home with a single layer. Great on the bike, I have been using it in the winter with the pro aero jersey. Warm enough and very comfy in this tough weather!

Warm light washable
I’m so happy with this base layer that I bought one for my best freind.
It comfortable on, long enough to come down to my bum and be tucked in neatly, machine washes and kept its shape and dries really quickly.

Soft and warm
I've worn holes in my grey v-neck merino base layers for a few years ago, and needed to replace at least one. This material in this years merino base layers is so much softer and less restrictive under the arms.

Bought for Melbourne Winter
Have found these base layers to be quite comfortable. I normally wear M and bought the same in this base layer. It's a pretty comfortable fit so not as tight as some of the Craft baselayers I have been using.

Love these layers other than the price
I love these base layers especially in cooler temps (obviously). I often wear it without a jersey for my winter training in the garage. They look great as well and I occasionally just wear it around the house.

Simply the Best
I have worn these base layers for years, on and off the bike, winter & summer, long sleeve and short sleeve. Glad to see some cleaner and brighter colours reappearing this spring after a spell of muddy hues.

Awesome
I have to share in the glowing sentiment about this garment. One of my favorites, and not just of cycling gear. Convinced me of the benefits of a good base layer. And thrives on little or no care/washing.

Bigger than expected
They are great in cold and hot weather. Im normally a XL with Rapha and this is a little baggier than I would like so a L would have been better. This doesn't take away from the usability of it though.

Best garment
Best garment ever. This is my 2nd piece, I can't express how much I love it.
This is the beat merino clothing I tried, although I own a few. The density is just perfect, cools is hot, warms in cold.

Solid building block!
This was a great purchase. Used this on almost every ride this spring. Really flexible piece that helped regulate body temperature on those colder mornings that turned warm by the end of the ride.

Great all-around baselayer
Very comfortable baselayer with all the attributes of merino wool (anti-microbial qualities, ventilates well, warm when wet) that I use not only for biking but for hiking, even for on the street.

Brilliant product
True fit to size, supper product for when the weather is a little cold, worth the money. I own the long sleeve versions of this, hence why I jumped at the chance to get the short sleeve versions

Great base layer. For those cooler days.
Subtle, high quality finish, fairly thin. Would not wear it as a stand alone for sure, but works beautifully as a base layer. As intended of course. Wouldn't wear it on any day warmer than 20C.

Another fabulous base layer
I bought this as a replacement for my husband’s black Rapha base layer which he has worn so much it was falling apart! He loves it!
Note: I have completed the info below as if it were him....

Feels great
My only gripe is the sizing. I am an XL in the pro team kit so thought hmm okay order the L for snug fit. But still too big. Use the same sizing you would use for the streetwear like hoodies.

Universal base layer
I love this merino base layer, I have worn out several, as a use it almost every day on every ride, whether it's -1° or 40° C. It washes well, keeps it shape and is very comfortable to wear.

Quality kit as usual
This is now the second one I have and I wear it all the time as more of a T shirt than a vest. Thin light and warm, perfect for spring days in the sun when u need just a little more warmth.

Great but a bit big
A great base layer and usual Rapha quality but the sizing is quite large compared with other Rapha tops. I would size down if I were to order another. Still my favourite base layer though

Great fabric to regulate temperature
Great temperature range, pleasant material to stay both warm in colder days as well as cool in the warmer days. It is actually such pleasant to wear, I'm also wearing it when not cycling

Good product; poor service
Good product; alas I cannot say the same for the service as I ordered something that was out of stock with no communication; I have been given a discount but cannot use that code either

Improved over older models
Much more comfortable than previous generation wool base layers that were quite itchy. Also stretches a bit more than previous generations. Very comfortable to wear on and off the bike!
