Description
The essential jersey for cooler weather
Ride comfortably in cool conditions with the Core Long Sleeve Jersey. Made of a thicker fabric than the Short Sleeve Core Jersey, and with a fleecy, brushed inner, you’ll stay snug throughout any spring and autumn ride in this seasonal essential. With full-length raglan sleeves and side panels for stability, the jersey is shaped to fit the body perfectly in a road-bike position.
The fabric and all the details are colour-matched throughout and feature considered finishing details, such as ribbed collar and cuffs, a concealed zip pocket and a deep, laser-cut rear gripper lined with soft silicone all chosen for comfort, performance and durability. The fabric has been treated with antibacterial and moisture management processes to stay fresher for longer. As with the rest of the Core collection, this jersey delivers the essentials, perfectly crafted.

Very comfortable and cosy
I am a very big fan of the Rapha Core range, and this long sleeve jersey is of the usual high standard. I have been wearing it on my Monday to Friday commute recently with a short sleeve merino base layer. The temperatures have been mild 12 degrees morning and 18 degrees evening, and found it extremely comfortable, cosy in the morning and not too clammy in the evening. I find the zip pocket in the core jerseys the most conveniently place out of all the Rapha jerseys (hint hint). Im 5ft 9 75kg and the medium is bang on, with a small amount of room for a few pounds at Christmas. The purple colour is original too. Frequently washed and no worries.

Smart jersey - sizing issue
This is the second piece of Rapha kit I've bought. I bought a super medium windproof jersey last year, since (at 5'10" and 32" waist) I always wear medium running and cycling gear, but had to return it for a large. Therefore, I bought the large version of this but found the body to be very short; the front didn't go below my navel. I swapped it for extra large, which is a much better length and isn't noticeably looser, and, for me at least, the arms are still a good length. As before, swapping the item was easy - customer service is great - but it seems to me that Rapha's sizing guidelines are a little eccentric. Either that or my body's freakishly disproportionate.

Best Jersey I own
I agree with other reviews describing the pockets being on the deep side as it can be difficult to pull things out of them on a ride.
The fit seems to be spot on for me and I rarely have to adjust or straighten out the jersey even after hours in the saddle.
It's also quite durable and survived a fall and slide on an icy mountain descent with only a small nick in the fabric.
I was really impressed by this and reassured by being able to have it repaired for free though the damage was insignificant despite sliding on the tarmac a considerable distance.
The color is closer to a coal black than the grey shown which could be an issue but I find it tends to match my black bib tights perfectly.

Perfect "tweaner" LS Jersey
The Core LS, with it's fleecy interior, is a perfect option for those colder spring or fall days. I find the sizing to be especially perfect for it's purpose. For reference, I typically wear a size small and the Pro stuff is a good fit when I'm in peak form during the season. This Core jersey gives you a little more room which is likely what you want, especially earlier in the season. The short collar is a must in terms of neck comfort and you can always add a stylish neck gator on the colder days. The pockets feel a little tall but that's really my only complaint. I find myself enjoying the small stash pocket for accessible card storage.

Great fabric, but very poor fit
I bought this jersey with some Core Bibs, for the muckier autumn / winter riding. I am really happy with the Bibs and I also have several Rapha Pro Team Jersey's and Bibs, which are superb. BUT: The fit of this jersey is amongst the worst of any 'decent' kit that I've got.
I have always been a Rapha Medium and all of my other Rapha kit is a medium, but the fit of this jersey is just way too loose. I am 5'11'' / 67kg and the chest area is baggy, the waist is baggy and the sleeves are also very loose. The sleeves also don't seem to taper at the wrist and have the fit more of a casual fleece, than a cycling jersey.
Sorry to say that this is the first peice of Rapha kit that I regret buying.

Good fit; sleeves a bit long
This was my 3rd Rapha purchase after buying classic bib nicks which I found to be very comfortable after several long rides of 6+ hours.
This jersey is very comfortable to wear for me as I don't like tight clothing and pockets of good size. My only complaint is with Rapha sizing. It seems to be a hybrid of the UK/Aust/US sizing and Italian. I am glad I ordered the Extra Large (in normal UK/Oz/US sizing I'm a large) but it means the sleeves are too long but not extra long like some Italian brands that I now avoid buying.
Funnily enough I found this item by doing a Google search but couldn't find it by going directly to the Rapha website.

Great Jersey
Bought this for my commute (early mornings and late evening rides) and really pleased with it.
Tight comfortable fit, with room for a light base layer underneath.
6ft, 160lbs, slim build - bought a size L. The sleeves are perfect length, a little short in the front but that's just the cut of the jersey.
Definitely a jersey for autumn/winter/spring - only worn on a couple of early morning rides, but as the weather warmed up I found it regulated my temperature well.
Washes up well and dries quickly.
Extremely comfortable, good fit and attention to detail is spot on.
Almost want the mercury to drop so I can start wearing it!

My favourite long sleeve jersey
This is a really fantastic jersey. The fit on the body is as close to perfect as I've found. Size medium & I'm 1.81m & 31inch waist. Only slight complaint is the cuffs are a little bit loose. It stays in place fantastically well and I'd say it was a very racy cut. The material is definitely warm, I'll use it with a long sleeve baselayer down to 6-7 degrees. Very happy with this, especially in the bright red colour. Perfect for autumn-spring.

Hi Can't decide which is the best way to go Should I choose the Core long sleeve with the Core rain jacket or go for the Core winter jersey Would appreciate you're input
The Core Jacket would probably give you a greater range of weathers and types of riding that it is suitable for as waterproof and windproof

Is the 'Purple' colour the same as the purple in the Classic Long Sleeve Jersey II? It looks much redder here. Are they different colours? Many thanks. J
The Purples will be slightly different as the materials used are different and dyes will reflect this

My chest measures out small but waist and hips a medium. what size core jersey would you recommend?
We would recommend that you use your Chest size as a size indicator rather than waist in this Jersey as the fit is accommodating

Hi there, I am 6'2" and currently wear a Pro Team Lightweight short sleeve jersey in XL that fits snug in the chest and arms etc but is quite short in length. Should I order the same size in the Core jersey range?
The Core Jersey has a more generous sizing. The Pro team Jersey is cut shorter in the front to allow a more aggressive position, while the Core jersey has a squarer profile

Hi there , I have a chest of 103cm and previously bought a tricolour jersey which is a bit loose int eh abdomen area. The chest and neck are good. Should I also go for an L in the core jersey or try a medium? I would like it very fitted.
The Core Jersey has a more generous fit, so we would suggest the Medium option if you wanted a more fitted Jersey
