Description
The first layer of your Rapha wardrobe
Rapha has invested more than a year of research and development into creating its new cycling bras. The Light Support Bra, for longer adventures and gentler spins, is cut from a soft, high-stretch, sweat-wicking fabric. This seamless cycling bra is designed to give generous coverage whilst providing just the right level of compression and support demanded by cyclists.
Featuring wide, soft straps and a wide, knitted underband to give support around the bust and to reduce movement, the Light Support Bra is cut to sit perfectly on the upper body in a riding position. Twin layers of fabric maximise support while open-knit panels in areas of high sweat give exceptional ventilation. The yarn is treated with antibacterial properties to ensure that you stay fresh throughout your ride. Ideal for layering under the Classic Jersey and Classic Bib Shorts or for use off the bike in other low impact sports such as yoga.

perfect for the small breasted :)
Since this bra came out a couple of months ago, I have purchased 3. I find myself in between the XS and S in most Rapha tops and I hate a tight band around the ribs so the first I purchased was an S, it is alright but a little long in the body. The next 2 I have purchased are XS and that is definitely the correct size (for reference 5'5" 125 lbs, 34a/b). The material is stretchy yet supportive and does not bind. I wore this for the majority of a 24hr race and had no chaffing. total winner. Now, we just need more colours!

New favorite
I bought this right when it came out and I wa slightly skeptical due to the "light support" name but the medium fits perfectly for me. 135lbs 32DD
I teach indoor rides several days a week and ride outside weekly as well and I've worn this bra for both and I LOVE it. The large sheet of material on the back makes this bra very comfortable. It doesn't ride up or down during my ride and it doesn't dig into my sides or the tops of my shoulders the way other sports bras can.
I will definitely be ordering at least two more. Don't miss out on this one!

Really comfortable
I bought this in size M but after that I ordered two more in size S. In normal bra's I use the size 34C. Even though the size M fits great, not as perfect as the size S does. I use this riding to work and what I like about this is when all the other clothes get smelly when sweating this bra does not. It dries really fast as well. This bra is really soft and sometimes I forget that I am even wearing a bra. There are some minor issues I do not like. The neckline could be more "open". If I wear this with my knits and some t-shirts with a larger ("open") neckline then the bra shows.

On the bike... or up a mountain
I've worn this riding to work, on sportives, running, fell walking, and even for two weeks straight (including sleeping in it) on a trek to Everest base camp that got as cold as -20. It's the most comfortable sports bra I've ever worn, simple as that.

Is it a sports bra or a mid crop base layer?
I bought this when Rapha first announced this new product. The material, like all Rapha products, is amazingly soft and comfortable. What I don't like is the actual fit. It cuts larger than the typical sport's bra; the neckline scoop is cut higher and the bottom fits lower onto the abdomen. It tends to maintain heat against your body so even though it absorbs sweat, it tends to "feel" hot.

Very comfortable
I've been looking for a comfy bra top and this fits the bill perfectly. I would say I'm a little curvy and while I did not want to feel strapped in I still wanted some 'control'. I did not fancy the other bra that comes with pads which others had said they discarded anyway. So this bra has some stretch but still fits well. I picked a medium and I'm a 34D cup. So this has enough give to fit me and does not cut in anywhere. I do a lot of mountain biking with techy lumps and bumps and find this bra has been sufficiently supportive.

Fits and wears exactly as advertised
This bra is soft, comfortable, and provides light, low-profile support, exactly as advertised. As someone with a small chest width and an overabundance of front (DD cup), I often find myself having to squeeze into a sports bra and then struggle to remove it after a ride. This bra goes on and removes easily, provides reasonably good support (I wouldn't jog in it, but that's not why I bought it), looks good under kit (no bulgy or saggy bits), feels good during a ride, and washes up nicely. I will be buying more.

Great support bra for cool weather
The material is way too heavy for those California heat waves, I tried racing in it for a mountain bike race and it was way too hot. Ralpha should adapt the lightness of Castelli Rosso Corsa Light Women's Bra. However, the Rapha bra should be just prefect for the winter.

Hi! Do you recommend sizing up or down for those between sizes? 90 cm, A cup. S or M?
We would suggest sizing down in this product as it would offer better support
Date published: 2018-11-23
Does this have built-in or removable cups? Or maybe no cups at all?
The Light Support Bra does not feature built-in Cup supports, but the Medium Support Bra does feature removable support cups

Silly question! Do the tags go on the inside or the outside? I can't figure out if I am wearing it inside out.
Thank you for your request. We’ll contact you when your Light Support Bra is available.
