Good value-for-money base layer. Tight fit.
Very pleased about this base layer. The material has a nice compression but still feels nice to the touch and comfortable. Temperature-wise it does the job: keeps you warm and doesn't get too moist with sweat. The high neck is a plus when it's really cold, and it doesn't bother much even if the temperature rises. Regarding the size: if you're unsure between two sizes, choose the bigger one. It fits really tight. Especially if you're tall and slim, because it is not very long on the torso. Tbh, it could do with a few extra centimeters to cover your lower back better. But it's not a massive flaw. I'm 179cm, 74 kgs, broad frame (I'm a lightweight rower), I went for size L and fits ok.

Warmer than it looks. Best for 5-12 degrees.
Was looking for a Base layer that bridges the time between 5-12 degrees weather and found the best match with this one. On colder temps of 5-7 degrees its best paired with a winter jacket. 7-12 degrees I find it warm enout paired with either a long sleeve jersey or a short sleeve with arm warmers. Big fan of the collar as other than a sepparate colar/base layer combination it keeps the bottom of the neck always warm. Whilst with a single collar i found that there are always some cold spots where wind could get in to make the ride uncomfortable. Can very much recommend this one and am already considering having a second one on spare. Sizing comes as your other Pro Team Collection sizes.

Unique design and weight
Excellent base layer, especially with the option of full neck coverage. Perfect weight fabric for base layer; wicks well, no clammy feeling. No odor buildup, either.
Usual Rapha attention to detail with fit: plenty of sleeve length as well as body.
I now have 2 of them to be able to wash/wear and have one every day.

Nice Winter Base Layer
For a Base Layer, i considered this expensive, but i have to say the quality and feel of the Fabric is excellent, but the most important aspect is that it has kept me warm on my winter rides with just this Base Layer and my Windproof Jacket. I will concur with other comments on this item is that it is short in the body , could do with being longer although the sleeves are a good length. I have the Pink one and overall it is a product i like very much. Recommended.

Es könnte so gut sein
Ich muss leider bestätigen was ich auch schon in anderen Bewertungen gelesen haben.
Leider ist dieser Baselayer für einen Winter-Baselayer zu kurz. Ich bin 184cm und habe eher einen kurzen Oberkörper, trage bei Trikots eine M und bei Bibs eine L. Den Baselayer habe ich deshalb auch in einer M bestellt, er geht bei mir bis kurz über den Bauchnabel, was bedeutet, dass beim Fahren auf dem Rennrad der untere Rücken nicht mit dem Baselayer bedeckt wird. Hier wird mir leider immer kalt.
Sonst ist er perfekt. Der hohe Kragen ist sehr angenehm und kann im Notfall auch mal bis über den Mund gezogen werden.
Die Ärmellänge ist gut. Der Stoff halt, dort wo er sitzt, den Körper warm.
Schade.

greatest thermal layer in my wardrobe
as a former mountaineer I know all kinds of thermal underwear. This is probably the best thermal layer I posses. Despite its thiness, it is unbelievable warm. The fit is tight and perfect for riding with an outer layer. I used it as a single under layer with the pro team long sleeve infinium jersey in temperature ranges from 3 to 12 degrees celcius and it was a perfect match for flat and fast rides. However, above 10 degrees its almost too warm. Also the long neck is perfect and gives a very good protection for the face in the wind.

No true colours
I bought this since I think it is the perfect winter base layer. I've had two of this in the past. Big disappointment when I found out that the colours in it where not true and that it had coloured off on the other base layers.
Even after a wash and on the second ride did it colour off on my merino base layers. This has never happended with the other Thermal base layers that I have. Is it now chepaer manufacturing to raise the profit in Rapha?

Best base layer I've used!
This base layer is very comfortable, wicks exceptionally well and keeps you warm. It's a great winter base that will be getting used a lot.

Best Rapha Base Layer!
Amazing base layer for those colder conditions. I have the standard merino base layer but this version with the integrated neck collar is so versatile for changing conditions on the bike. If it gets really cold you can quickly bring up the collar to stay warm. If it gets hot when ascending simply fold the neck collar out of the way. The material for me also wicks away moisture better than the Rapha merino. This is defo my new cheat code in the cold weather! Buy one you will not regret it. Runs a little small so maybe size up. I am a medium in Pro Team jerseys and I sized up to a large.

Fits snug and neck gaiter is worth it.
I recently bought this base-layer and the regular long-sleeve wool base layer. I've worn one and then the other on long rides in the cold (temps between 42 and 35) and while they perform equally well in terms of warmth and wicking sweat, the neck gaiter on this made a pretty big difference (added bonus that it covers most of my neck so I don't have to worry about sunburn) and the fit is much more closer than the regular base layer (I'm 5' 10" 175 lbs for context), which is a little too baggy for my preference. I had no trouble fitting this over my head as some other people mentioned.

So warm!
I combined this with a short sleeve jersey and a Pro Team Training Jacket and I needed absolutely nothing else for 5 hours in -2 degrees Celsius!
I'd prefer I had bought the black one:-)

Leicht und dünn, dennoch warm
Bei 6 Grad C gefahren und dieses Base Layer mit einem winddichten Trikot kombiniert. Auf Anstiegen doch soweit ins Schwitzen gekommen, dass das Base Layer klamm wurde. Allerdings wärmt dieses auch, wenn es feucht ist, so dass das sehr gut funktioniert hat. Einziges Problem: ich bin 190 cm groß, (6 ft 3 in) und XL ist mir am Rumpf zu kurz. Es geht gerade noch so, es könnte gut 2 inch länger sein, dann wäre es top. Ansonsten ist die Passform erstklassig und der hohe Kragen ist echt angenehm.

Super lightweight
This was my first order from Rapha. Item received was all navy blue with the yellow letters and no yellow panels as shown. The material is very lightweight. The fit is super snug (ordered size large, I am 6'2" 185 lb) but does not chafe at the armholes. I wore it on a 40F ride with a windproof jacket and was comfortable, but guessing that at 32F I would need another layer. The material feels fragile and I was careful taking it off so it didn't tear, but it may be tougher than it seems.

Great winter base layer but short in length !!
Bought this for my winter road cycling here in Canada and happy with how warm it is.
I bought a size S as i am a S in the Rapha size chart (173, 93 chest, 79 waist, 68kg).
I like the fit as it is tight but not to a point that it is too tight and very comfortable in the riding position.
The arms are a bit longer which is nice, the collar is good for me to get into with my 56cm head.
My biggest problem with it is the length, it is just too short by I would say 2 inch at the back and an inch at the front. I dont have a longer than normal torso either. When it is cold, you really miss this and can feel it. I have a proper warm Castelli winter bib as well so I know that's not the problem. Because of this I dont use it much, only if my other winter base layers are in the wash.
The base layer is great but the missing length bugs me way too much.
Please fix this for next season Rapha as I am not the first one to complain about it in the reviews.
It's almost perfect...

Style and substance
I bought this to replace my favourite rapha merino baselayer. Immediately the garment seemed warm. The material feels soft and after using it on several sub zero rides, I can attest that it is a quality product. The print makes it look stylish but this baselayer has real substance. Good value and will return for more.

Winter warmer
I needed a replacement base layer for winter riding. Having only used merino previously I was unsure if this would fit the bill. On the coldest of rides, around zero, the base layer was excellent. The added bonus having the neck covering is fantastic. When on a quicker ride combined with outer layer I never over heated. Fit wise I am 180cm and 74kg, size medium is perfect. Arm length is also good and not cut short. So far this is quick becoming my favourite winter bit of kit.

Almost perfect
I spent a long time & wasted a fair few quid buying various base/thermal top over the past few years. The cost of this one seemed too much but eventually I caved it & once I’d worn it the first time I realised why it was worth the cost. I bought another within 48hrs!!!
I commute 40miles a day, this top under my winter jacket was perfect. I’ve only used this & the jacket in temps down to -5 & it’s still been good.
Only reason it’s not 5 stars is the length. The arms are too long & the torso is no where near long enough. Another 100/120mm on the torso & theres a 5 star!

Excellent winter base layer, warm and cool!
The quality and the feel of the fabric is excellent. The Base Layer keep warm and manages to wick away sweat in temperatures from 2-7C combined with the Pro Team Long Sleeve Thermal Jersey and with a gilet. I am 1m85 / 80kg and size L fits perfect to me. I love the long neck, which I regularly pull up and high in the back. Men's Pro Team Base Layer works brilliantly adding a dose of style. I like the phrase graphics. Highly recommended on those really chilly days. Love it!

Excellent Base Layer if only ...
... it were a little bit longer.
I am tall - 192 cm, 86 kilo - and had to go with XL as XXL is bit too wide for a base layer for me. I like them as second skin.
I love the fabric! Feels great on the skin and keeps me warm. I usually wear it below the Brevet Insulated Jacket. This combination works down to roughly 6-7 °C. (although it doesn't block the wind completely - next winter I will try the Deep Winter Wind Block Base Layer for colder days)
My only isssue is the cut. It's just too short in the front. Have to push it back into the Winter Tights occasionally.

Well, keeps ,me warm
I am 6ft and weight about 88kg, so I bought a large. for the most part it fits . the only issue is that it is too short, . Also, the pic is misleading. the lettering is yellow, but my top does not have the yellow bottom or yellow on the sleeves and neck area. the long neck is useful

Not all thermals are the same
Well, turns out this is not just any other thermal. The shorter cut in the torso reduces any chance of the base layer bunching up while in riding position. The fit is snug but not restricting and it fits under my aero long sleeve with no added bulk. The warmth is immediately noticeable and based on how you layer over this piece it can be used in a wide range of temperatures. My only gripe is the snugness in the neck tube. I have a larger head and most of the times when I need to pull up the neck tube to cover my ears the attached one works its way down so I just use the snood in tandem with this base layer. That being said, the attached neck tube kept snow and rain from falling on my neck and it keeps heat in really well.

Not just another base layer....
You either see the value in base layers or you don't. Under the Pro team jacket and last week just this and a Gillet for a quick spin in the woods! Love the toasty high neck for this time of year, despite owning a winter-collar already...

Comfortable, well fitting base layer.
Great item of clothing that I found essential during a cold UK Winter snap recently (-2 centigrade with a strong Easterly wind). I always layer and have this under bib tights, a long sleeved jersey and a rain jacket as a top layer. This allows me to regulate my temperature depending on conditions. I wear this base layer once the temperature drops below about 5 centigrade.
The fit is spot on I'm 6'2'' and 90kg and ordered an XL, as others have said maybe could be longer in the body, I just wonder if it would bunch under my bib tights so am happy as is.

Brilliant winter base layer
Having been a long time user of the old merino winter base layer, I was gutted when it finally gave up the ghost. Got this as a replacement, and the technical fabric is actually an improvement. Super warm, extremely fitted and quick drying. The even more extended neck allows for great flexibility in coverage - I can pull this up over my ears if it's really cold! But normally it just provides great coverage for neck and chin

Pro Team Thermal Base Layer Review
This is a very thin, light weight base layer which is extremely warm. I wore this under a jersey and winter jacket on a 3 1/2 hour ride at 36 degrees F. I was never cold but did sweet during the ride and this base layer wicked the sweet away nicely to keep me comfortable. The only issue that I have with this base layer is that the sleeves a bit too long. As far as warmth is concerned, this exceeds my expectations.

Good quality and larger than expected
Very good quality as you would expect, however it did come up larger than expected. I am 43in and would have chosen an L now not XL. I was expecting something fitted more svelte but actually well proportioned. Sleeves are long but not too long which is good and the neck roll is also a good size. Long but not too long in the body so al good. I’ll certainly be back buying more products in the future!

Superb piece of winter kit.
Light, breathable but very warm I’ve used this base layer down to 0c in pre dawn UK winter rides and it has been exactly as expected. The integral neck warmer is well judged and just the right thickness to keep the chill off whilst drying quickly when the pace slackened. I found the fit true to size for a pro team product, I am 6’2” 80 kg and. Large is perfect. please note however, that this is an on the bike fit top so the front of this base layer is quite short. Arm length is long and ideal for breaching the gap between glove and cuff.

Great 1st Product From Rapha
I was looking to treat myself to some great cycling gear, and happened to stumble across Rapha's website. I read a ton of reviews, and decided to give it a shot. I loved this jersey so much I bought another one within 2 weeks. In the Winter, my rides are usually between 38-58 degrees (F), so this jersey is terrific under a jacket. The only "flaw" is that this base layer has to be hand washed. All my other gear I can machine wash on delicate, but that doesn't take away from the great build quality and the fact it's a terrific jersey.
