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.

“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 Fantastic for cold weather riding I have worn this jersey a few times now and look forward to wearing it more. I am used to the fit of the Pro Team jerseys and have to say I quite like the fit on this Classic jersey. It is a slighty looser fit which is nice to have in the winter to be able to layer up if needed. The small details on this are amazing such as the cut on the arm cuffs, the draw strings in the bach, the headphone hole in the pocket, and zipper garage by the neck. The pockets are well made in terms of durability and placement. Having an overstuffed pocket or 2 does not make the jersey pull down and sag like most other jerseys do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dark navy Had the black short sleeve version for some time still in the same condition as I bought it Now big into the dark navy kit and need a long sleeve jersey so had to have it keep dark navy kit coming

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 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 Great style and fit Bought a couple months ago in Medium - snug fit and lux feel. Ride about 100 miles/week and use this for chilly weather on its own with a base layer or under a wind jacket or rain vest. Medium is snug, I’m 5’9”, 160lbs, chest 41.25in, biceps 14.25in, arms 23in. Breathes really well and have worn in mid 70F weather, open.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for fall and spring Good + (4½ Stars) Got this on clearance. I love the color. Very comfortable and warm enough on a 60℉ day. If I have to find something it would be that the arms are very long but it's not a deal breaker. It's no wonder that the Classic is an old favorite in the Rapha catalog. I would rate it at 4 ½ stars if I could.

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 5 out of 5 by from Incredibly warm and comfortable yet light to wear Not cold enough yet!!. Great fabric, warm and light. I’m happy I got size larger than I need for winter base layers underneath.

Hi, I’m going to have race in the mountains in May (very high effort). The temperature is about 8-12 (Celsius) degrees above 0. Is it enough to by this jersey to feel comfortable?  If not, what would you recommend? (as for bibs - that’s another story)

Asked by: Gudok
the Classic jerseys aren't designed for high tempo training or racing. The Classic jerseys are a close but relaxed fit, so ideal for long distance riding and performance are optimal when riding from 10 degres to 20 degres celcius. You might also want to look at the Brevet range as specifically designed for long distances.

How does this jersey compare to other jackets? Sometimes my 'Core Long Sleeve Jersey' is too cold while my 'Classic Winter Windblock Jersey' is too hot. What does fit best in between? This jersey, a 'Core Winter Jacket', something else?

Asked by: Gerben
Because it's dependent on the effort of your riding and base layers, it is hard for us to be exact in advice. Both jerseys you mentioned have a different temperature range. the Core Long Sleeve Jersey is our entry level jersey and the Classic Winter Windblock jersey is one of our warmest jerseys. we'd recommend you another regular long sleeve jersey(non-winter).

I am curious as to what size I need for the Classsic Long Sleeve Jersey II if I have a 41 in chest, 14 in bicep, 23in arms and 32 in waist (I’m 5’9”). I’m usually a large in “Race Fit” or pro fit but would a medium in this cut for me?

Asked by: Joser
