Flapping in the wind
Gilet is okish! Big problem with sizing. My size fits me, tough when driving on the bike the gilet is not tight enough and this makes a lot of sound. Gilet is flapping in the wind, so kind of annoying.

Better than expected
I do not like rear pockets on vesta as I already have them on the jersey. So this vest works for me. Give me a chest pocket for easy access to nutrition.

Core line is waste of time
I’ve been wearing Proteam line for years, and gave the Core line a try because if they had a color I really like. Returned it because of fitting and composition of the vest is just way below standard of what I expect from the brand. Went back to Proteam vest and love that even the color wasn’t my first choice.

biking vest is perfect.
I'm 5' 10' about 144 lbs and the small fits snug but very comfortably. No flapping, Double front zipper is perfect for releasing the bottom to get to back jersey pockets. Cuts the cool morning wind and rolls up small for when it warms up. Great product, very happy.

One of the best gilet i have ever bought.
Size is as expected. I’m 1,67 and 67 kg. I bought small size of gilet. It fit perfectly. It is still summer and i didn’t wear during a ride but feeling is good, fit, material and zipp wise. I liked that the zipp is opening from both up and down. I bought yellow one and color looks cool.

Simplicity, perfected?
First time I wore it I got rained on unexpectedly. And stayed warm, dry (under the vest, of course), and happy. Bottom-up zipper really does work to get at stuff in your pockets. Fit is exact to their specs - I'm right on the max for medium, which is what I got and it's snug but doesn't flap, and actually fits close to my skinny neck, so I'm not scooping air into it.

Brilliant gilet
Gilets - what’s not to like about them? Versatile, small pack size and adaptable to local weather conditions. As usual Rapha doesn’t disappoint with their quality product, and given the nice bright colour (yellow) it’s perfect for shoulder seasons where the sunlight sometimes fails to penetrate the grey skies. Highly recommend the investment in this gilet.

Perfect lightweight gilet
True to size. Medium fits me well (179cm, 75kg). Two-way zipper is handy when getting warm. Rolls up to the size of my fist so it packs in back pocket easily. Good for early morning starts in the warmer months, then roll up as you warm up. On fast descends, the collar flaps a bit. My buddy has the Pro Team version which has a snugger fit and doesn't flap.

Lightweight and comfortable gilet
This gilet is lightweight and easy to handle. It helps during cool rides to keep from getting really cold and preventing the need to carry larger/heavier jackets. Just remember it goes over the top of any pockets that have contents and so it might not fit you if your pockets are full and bulging. It weighs very little and packs down small!

Part of the fit feels off and the zipper broke.
The fit isn’t that great on me, a bit too loose but still a bit tight in the upper part around the shoulders. The neck part is a perfect height though. Same with the arm grippers and the big bottom gripper. Snug without being tight. Part of the zipper broke off during the second ride, that together with the fit means I barely use it.

Indispensable
Ce gilet est très agréable à porter et très efficace!
Il est très beau, la matière est légère ne prend pas de place une fois plié.
Le seul petit bémol est qu’il serait sympa d’ajouter une petite poche arrière pour avoir un article parfait.
Encore une fois la gamme Core est au top qualité/prix

A bombproof piece of kit 👍
A super lightweight gilet, fits true, I'm a broad size L. Offers great wind protection, two way zip great for pocket access and regulating body temperature too. Has held up well in the light showers I've been caught in so far. A bombproof piece of kit 👍

Superb!
This is one of my favourite bits of cycling clothing. Love the 2 way zip, quality is brilliant, and the fit is perfect. Having this on for cooler morning and in the back pocket if the temp drops a little is a must. Very rare I ride without it.

Gilet does it's job.
While it is perfect as a shell in its material and offers a great aero profile, I did find myself fumbling to access nutrition. Full disclosure, I was gloved, this was my first ride with the piece and it was a gravel race. So... 4.75 stars?

Need pockets
This gilet gets the job done though I wish there are rear pockets, or access to the rear pockets of the jersey.
Otherwise, it is a hassle to keep on unzipping just to access the contents (gels, etc) of your jersey pockets.

A step backwards?
Fits well, size as previous gilet. Performs as expected. However, in comparison to my older rapha gilet the collar on this one is irritating when zipped up (sits a little higher) and the lack of rear pockets frustrating.

très fin
Très pratique (double Zip), belle finition pour la gamme Core, attention cependant très fin donc l'effet coupe vent est très très léger. Pas testé sous grosse pluie mais fait le Job par météo moyenne.

Spot on fit and performance!!!
The fit is great. I prefer a curved axillary opening and these fit the bill. Not too long and not too warm. The only upgrade I would like is at least 1-3 pockets in the rear would be great.

Buy down a size
Snagged this on sale - works great, appreciate the double zipper, better for a rainier day or a chilly descent in my opinion. Bought a size smaller than normal to get the right fit though.

Mens Core Gilet
The is the second Gilet I have bought from Rapha during the last two years. Great quality and fit and ideal for the autumn or spring mornings. An essential bit of clothing in my opinion.

Nice but the fit seems off…
Love the fabric and the duel zippers are too-notch, but there seems to be too much fabric in the shoulders. The vest flaps in the wind to the side of the neck-above the shoulders.

Good budget vest
Quite nice lightweight hi vis vest for the price. Seems to fit well. No noticeable flapping around. Could be a touch tighter, but will fit most physiques. Doesn’t seem too hot.

Just right for cool morning rides over a jersey
Oddly enough, the color (Rose Brown) matches nearly exactly a POC Essential long sleeve jersey I have in Propylene Red. When I wear them together they look like a matched set.

Gilet RAPHA Core
Gilet efficace, de bonne coupe.
Il manque vraiment des poches sur le gilet dont une à fermeture suffisamment grande pour un smartphone et peu-être une autre pour les clés.

Garment & Clothing sizing
Always, select a size up, in this case you are always bigger than you think… Rapha could actually have the garments made to reflect the sizing typically used.

Excellent addition
Great item! Little chilly? This gilet keeps that wind from piercing through. Great quality zippers and fabric. I love the cycling stories written inside.
