Good jersey
Brevet windblock jersey has been excellent formy use. I live in Finland, so you never know when you are gonna need a warmer jersey or even windblock. The jersey is warm and comfy, have just used a base layer underneath. Ordered XL size for me, 182cm / 100kg, fits perfectly. Abit of flapping on the arms, otherwise good fit. The more looser arms and such is more of Brevets feature i think, because its not ment to be an aero jersey, as it says in the description also. +++ for extra pockets!

Absolute go-to jersey
Probably the best all-round jersey I own - complete go-to. It will cope with anything from nearly 0C (with a base layer) to 15C+ and everything in between. Slightly looser fit, so not too unsociable in public, extra side pockets for cards, cash, earpods, etc. Windproof at the front, venting at the rear. If you own no other jersey, buy this one.

Ideal for NorCal winters
At 6'5" and 218 lbs, fit is always an issue. The sleeves & body are long enough for me in size XXL, and having the windblock built in saves me a layer, which is great. Here in northern California, this jersey with a merino layer underneath has been warm enough for the 42-50F weather of winter, yet I don't overheat if the sun comes out. Just right for brisk winter rides. Quality of materials & construction is standard "Rapha exceptional" and I'll certainly buy more of these jerseys.

The multi-tool of cycling jerseys
I'm definitely a fan of the brevet, buying my first jersey a 6 years back. The new version is even better - great fabric and fit with plenty of storage for a long day out. The jersey is versatile over a range of temperatures by combining with different base layers. For me the navy blue is the classic colour

Perfect for cool weather rides
This is great piece as in that it's very versatile. Alone works well in the 50's put a base layer underneath and you can easliy drop down to the 40's and be comfortable. I've also used it under a jacket for extra protection on colder days but at that breathability starts to become an issue.

Great Jersey
I have used this jersey with a long sleeved base and it performed excellent, keeping the wind off your core and arms. It is lightweight material on the back, although it is a nice relaxed fit, and could have done with the gillet to prevent my back feeling the nip of the cold air.

Good quality but not as expected
The picture clearly shows its red on my comp and phone. But in real its more bordaux. I ordered the size the same as my rapha jerseys and shorts. But this one is clearly bigger. It wil do for autumn and the quality is as usual perfect. But i’m happy i got it cheaper.

Great Performing Jersey
I've had the Jersey 3 weeks and worn it on seven early morning rides over an additional light weight merino wool base layer were there is that niggling wind, It performs just as its designed to do, you are shielded from the wind with your back being allowed to breath, maintaining a comfortable ride temperature. The fit is spot on for me with no "flapping" around the arms or body. I'm 6ft / 182 cm and 14.5 St / 92 Kg

Great in concept but some shortcomings.
I love this Jersey. It is the perfect mix of warmth and wind protection. It‘s light enough that you can ride with it without anything underneath or a short sleeve base layer up to 15 degrees Celcius or you can layer up a bit below and get away with it down to even near 3-5 degrees Celcius. The sizing is also spot on. I am almost always a large in most Rapha products of which I have a ton (181cm, 83kg, muscular). Large can be both loose and tight. On this product, the fit is perfect…..doesn‘t flap around in wind but I can move easily in it. Now to the niggles about the product. The back part of the jersey where the pockets are seems to be quite lightweight, hence the pockets are already stretched a bit. Note, I have ridden three to four times in the jersey and washed it twice. I am a bit concerned about how long the pockets will hold up. I do not put much in there when riding. A wallet in one pocket, a phone in the other, and pump in third. This worries me a bit. Further, after only two washes, the Rapha label on the inside collar already washed away. This does nothing to hinder function but after just two washes already coming off….come on. The collar is also showing signs of stretch even though it is not tight around my neck. Primarily left and right of the where the zip comes up below the chin, there is some stretching. I will see after a couple months whether this product holds up but I am not very confident. If it does, it is great and a perfect combo of what I was looking for but for the price, I was hoping for more durability.

Unique jersey
Never had a merino long sleeve cycling jersey previously. This is class....lovely to wear either with or without a base layer, the wind proof front cuts the wind on cold early mornings without letting you overheat.

Cold is overrated par
Overpriced
The addition of plastic fibers to the wool completely ruins the properties of wool. Doesn't breath well, remains wet if you sweat, and causes chills due to inability to dry quickly and remain comfortable when moisture builds. Even in colder temps doesn't keep you warm if you sweat at all.

Excellent
The jersey is excellent: has kept me warm with temperatures in low teens (even slightly lower), and has kept out light mizzle. The pockets are a good size. I am 6 foot and fairly skinny: I wear an M in other Rapha tops (e.g. base layer), but bought an L here for the arm length. Good decision: it makes the jersey a little more like a jacket but still fits well.

Great for multi-day adventures
A great jersey that performed exactly as described on my recent multi-day 1240km adventure. I wore this (and the short sleeve lightweight brevet jersey) every day, removing the long sleeve jersey when the temperatures got to the mid 20c’s (it was quite breezy). It kept me warm throughout the first few hours following early starts (temps starting at about 10-12c), and I never felt I was overheating. Side pockets useful for carrying small light bits and bobs you want access to on the ride. I got L, 79kg 188cm. Happy with the fit.

Favorite cool weather jersey
I have two of these since I wear them through the colder seasons. Works great on its own in cool weather, and makes a great wind break over a base layer for colder days. Prefer this to wearing a full windbreaker shell because the unshelled back breathes better than any shell. Insulating layer is just right for transition as well as colder days.

Good as a jacket
I bought this to use as a jacket not a jersey it's perfect for that. Definitely not race cut. I'm a large race cut and large in this is roomy enough to wear over a short or long sleeved jersey. I would not try and wear this "naked" as a stand alone jersey. If you are expecting a stand alone jersey then you might be disappointed.

I love it... but it could be so much better
This jacket has been an instant favourite and a huge frustration in equal measure... I love the colour (purple, in my case) and styling, but the fit is questionable and the sleeves are oddly finished.
I usually land right between sizes (M & L) on the Classic, Core and Brevet ranges. With this I took a gamble on the M and it paid off; but to the point where if I lose a couple of extra kilos I begin to wonder if the S would have resulted in a better fit.
It comes down to this: This is not a typical road or race fit jersey. The sleeves aren't so baggy that they flap annoyingly in the wind, but they seem to be designed to be worn with more layers underneath them. Likewise in the body, the fit isn't 'loose' per se, but you could easily put a base layer and jersey on without having trouble zipping it up or being uncomfortable on the bike. I find the front pockets slightly odd too - they don't get in the way as they are, but put anything more than a single key in them and you'll notice it on a road bike.
I don't expect this to be anything more than a pure winter jersey in Sydney, either. Already on a couple of warmer winter days (18-20ºC) it has been a bit much to wear this - and when you start wearing without a long sleeve base layer underneath, those loose arms do start to feel even more loose.
Ideally this would come in 'Classic' and 'Adventure' styles, where the classic version is a bit more like a 'performance fit' road jersey and the adventure version is more loose. As it is, I almost wish I'd got this in the L as then it'd be big enough to wear casually. C'est la vie.
I'm giving this 4/5 because I like it a lot for a winter jersey - but that is a lot to do with the colour and its potential, rather than doing what is is presented and intended to do.

Good, not great.
6’1, 80ish kg. Got the large. Fit is fine - not particularly close fitting, and, as I remember reading before I bought it, arms are quite flappy. Nice material - regular weight jersey, with a thin windproof nylon material on the front and down the arms. Found I need to balance the pockets carefully or they slide to one side - would have hoped for better carrying capability from a supposed long distance jersey. I like the hi viz elements. Good for when it’s not super cold and you aren’t traveling too far.

Versatile - breathable and warm all at once
This is my favorite and most versatile jersey. I wear it on 70 degree days and on days in the 40s. Love the slightly less fitted look and the front pockets though wish the pocket was about an inch taller to accommodate a large and usually gloved hand.

Men's brevet long sleeve
This jersey is very beautifull, nice finish but definitely not Windblock as it is explained. The merinos wool fabric is very thin and not so warm. It's perfect for mid-season with a base layer. Price for value not so good.

Comfy and warm jacket
I borrowed the jacket from a friend last year, and just bought my own. For reference, I am a 5'10" female, about 150 and this jacket fits me well. There were no comparable women's jackets available online. It fits well in the shoulders and not too tight in the chest, either. Great for mild days that are too cold for a short sleeved jersey. I had issues with seams coming undone on a pair of Rapha bibs, so I will not be washing this one until it's ultra stinky. Hopefully it holds up well!

Amazing for day in day out use.
SIDE POCKETS!! Lol I love the "normal jacket" side pockets it had.
Even thought to get it in one size up to go with it as causal jacket.
It's great for daily commute, fit is really chill and flattering, I'm actually wearing it with Chino pants sometimes riding to work.
Also, merino here is a bit different then in other jerseys, a bit thinner.
At start I thought it's a con, but after few rides I think its a smart combination as the front side is windbreaking and not breathing.

Great all rounder
This jersey is really versatile and well suited to rides where the temperature might vary between 10-20 degrees or perhaps even cooler with a winter base layer or warmer with a thiner base layer if you are not riding too hard, I particularly like the pockets at the front for commuting or cafe stop rides because I can keep my keys and shoe covers in them for easy access when off the bike. It is loose enough that you could have more layers beneath it but still definitely not baggy!
