Classic Long Sleeve Jersey II

Made of a super soft merino-based fabric.

Description

Based on the bestselling Classic Jersey II, a product that has been in the Rapha collection since day one, the Classic Long Sleeve Jersey II features an innovative merino-wool-based fabric and comes in a range of beautiful colours.

Updated with an improved fit, bonding rather than stitching to save weight, and an all new, proprietary merino-based fabric, RPM190 (Rapha Performance Merino - the 190 indicates grams per square metre). Unlike generic merino-blends, RPM190 is light, soft, breathable and adaptable to a huge range of conditions, and while heavier than the fabric used in the short sleeve version, it is lighter than the fabric used in first iteration on the Long Sleeve Jersey. Offering excellent pocket support and comfort in a wide range of temperatures, RPM is the most versatile cycling fabric in the world.

Our Classic range has a slightly more relaxed fit. If you’re unsure which size will offer you the most comfort, our updated size guides can help you find the perfect size.

“Rapha's Classic Long Sleeve Jersey II is better than ever, with an improved fit and better breathability ensuring it's still a solid choice for winter cycling. Here is a well-designed, comfortable, warm and soft-next-to-the-skin jersey that is ideal for winter rides, either worn as a top layer over a baselayer or underneath a jacket.”

★★★★☆ David Arthur, Road.cc

“The best bike jersey the world has ever seen.”

Bill Strickland, Bicycling Magazine

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great feel and perfect fit I ordered the long sleeve core jersey first in Large, but the fit was not to my liking and I didn't like the feel of the fabric. I do have the CORE winter tights, which feel / fit awesome btw. Upon returning the core item, I decided to spend the extra money for the classic jersey in size M (I've lost some weight the last few months and had deduced from other reviews that it runs quite large). The fabric feels soft and luxurious, and not heavy. The fit (i'm 1m84 and weigh 75 kilo's) is perfect. I have enough space to wear a thick underlayer. It is warm enough for winter rides in combination with a jacket or gilet. It will become my go to jersey for winter and autumn rides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for fall/winter rides This jersey works perfectly for me. I'm 6' 1" tall and about 172 pounds. The large had too much room in the body, and the medium is almost a perfect fit. The only thing I'd change is to have the front be a little shorter so that it bunches less when I'm on the bike. It functions just fine, though, and I forget about the issue as soon as I look away from the mirror ;-). My favorite things about the jersey are the length in the back and sleeves. Mediums can sometimes be too short for me, and with a warm jersey I really want something long enough to cover my wrists completely. This jersey does that with room to spare.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from High quality, tasteful design This is a high quality fabric and construction, and I appreciate that the sleeve length is sufficiently long for a tall guy (don't know why this is so hard to come by). I also like the dark green fabric and nearly monochromatic logo coloring, though I prefer no brand name at all. This is at least discreet looking compared the blaring brand names on other jerseys. My only issue is that the sizes for jerseys are a bit all over the map. I ordered an XXL because ordinarily that is what I need in this brand for my tall partner, but in this particular jersey the XL would have more than sufficed. It is very hard to gauge what size is needed in each style.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of my favourites This classic long sleeved top is perfect for those cooler days when you’re not sure what to wear. It is thin enough that you won’t overheat if it gets warm but substantial enough if the temperature drops a little. The merino blend is really soft and comfortable and nice against the skin. Worn with a decent base layer I think this would be adequate down to around 5c-6c. Not really suitable for those wet or damp days (that’s what jackets are for). Think crisp, blue sky, Autumn days. I normally wear a medium in the pro team gear so ordered the same for this. I think a small would have been the better fit ,being a little more snug and aero. However , there is plenty room for base layers so I am more than happy with it. For the record I am 5’11” , 69kg with 32” waist.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great fit and quality Im 5'6" and the medium fit is just right. Have the same jersey in large and the arms are just a touch on the long side. Great quality and timeless design

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pure Fashun! This is by far the most comfortable, fashionable jersey from Rapha I have purchased. 1st, to the numbers: 6’3”, 88kg, all my jerseys are XL which fit perfect in the Core range, this being my first Classic item and reading reviews that they were more generous in fit is very true, definitely not too baggy just comfortable/relaxed is probably the best way to put it The merino wool is soft and luxurious, this is seriously the fanciest cycling jersey I have ever owned! I went with the Teal/blue with navy armband Paired with a long sleeve merino base layer this is ok for temps as low as 5C, any lower with any wind and you would need at least a Gilet to take the bite out of the cold, the merino is breathable but on its own this would be perfect around 10-15C IMO Absolute quality and very pleased I made the purchase would definitely recommend to others

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Still the one to have I have a few older Rapha Classic LS jerseys. Always very comfortable in colder weather. This new one is a bit different; the wool-content has been lowered, it's a bit more "shiny" in daylight, and a bit colder than the previous versions. Fit is still good though, with good long arms, and reasonably close fit. The lower front has been lengthened, compared to the earlier LS jerseys, probably because of critical comments, it didn't need lengthening for me, but it's allright, it's not too long. Colour (navy) is very stylish. So a bit of change, but still very nice.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from If Only Just bought this and have given it a couple rides. Beautiful fit, made nicely BUT for me the ratio of merino to synthetic still too much on merino. I knew this going in but I’ll still make the observation. For those of us that ride hard and sweat a lot, more synthetic can lead to better drying. I’ve an old winter jersey from Rapha that likely dates back more than a decade .. more synthetic. My all time favorite garment from them. It was THE perfect tool but they make it no more. A hint of roubaix inside, pink piping against the black, three good pockets and perfect sizing. So so sad to discontinue perfection.

Hi, this jersey and the winter jersey can be worn in winter as a top layer in combination with a base layer. What is the suggested temperature range of both jerseys and why would I go for a jacket as the pro team winter jacket?

Asked by: fotodj
The Classic Long Sleeve is ideal with a base layer (and maybe a gilet) during spring and autumn rides when it is chilly but not cold. The Winter Jersey together with a thermal base layer would be ideal for winter. A winter jacket offers slightly more versatility. It can be worn with or without other layers depending on effort or temperature.

Hi there! This is my first time buying from Rapha. I’m 5’ 7” height, 38” chest and 34” waist. I wanted to know what size should I order?

Asked by: Panita5
We are recommending the size Medium in regards of the chest and waist measurements , however size Small might be better only considering your height . I would highly recommend to order the two sizes and return the size which doesn't fit . We offer a free return service , you can read our return policy here https://www.rapha.cc/gb/en/returns .

I own a MEN'S CLASSIC COUNTRY JERSEY in size L, a little big, for this jersey would you recommend a size L or M? Thanks I'm 1.84cm - 79kg tall

Asked by: Anonymous
Hi. I would recommend the same size for this jersey but if L feels a bit too big you can try size M. You could also order both sizes to compare and return the one that didn't fit free of charge.

Would this be suitable to wear under the insulated jacket or would that be too much warmth?

Asked by: Rob6174
Hi. It can be worn under the insulated jacket (probably not under the Pro team version as that is quite tight fitted) and you would be warm enough to ride in 0-3 degrees. Above this temperature it might be a bit too warm.

Hi, I'm 103cm chest and 93cm waist, what size would you recommend for the long sleeve Jersey II?

Asked by: RaphaKJ
Given the measurements, I would recommend size L. It might however, be worth getting both sizes (XL and L) and keeping the one that fits.
