Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great lightweight summer jersey A great lightweight summer Jersey great fit in the body and superb grippers to the bottom of the jersey. Worn on a 30 degree ride and kept cool throughout and worn in cooler rides but kept the temperature fine. The pockets are a little smaller than some of the other core products and there are no zip pockets but suspect that is to keep the amount of material to a minimum. The only other thing which I'm not as keen on is the sleeves aren't a tight fit and are a little looser than other Rapha products. This may suit some riders but I prefer a tighter sleeve. As always the same Rapha high quality product

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for those hot days! For American sizing (which is largely imperfect), I’m 5’9”, 159 lbs., with a lean and athletic build (from years of soccer and running, not so much as thin in the upper body like most cyclists). The medium fit snuggly and didn’t flap at all, while the large also fit snuggly but was a touch loose in the sleeves and the upper body. If you want a more classic cycling fit and are around my specs, medium is the way to go. If you want a more relaxed fit, go up a size; it’s by no means *much* looser or bigger, but definitely more relaxed. The breathability on this jersey is some of the best I’ve experienced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible Hot Weather Jersey This is by far the best hot weather jersey I’ve tried. It is incredibly light and comfortable, and it has the simple Rapha style that I love. Summers in Alabama, USA get extremely hot and humid (95F/35C+ temperature with humidity in the 90%+ range), and this is my go to jersey from June through September. I loved it so much when I bought my first that I quickly ordered a second, even though I knew it would get my in trouble with my wife! I am built a little bigger than most cyclists, I have broad shoulders and thick thighs. I’m 5’10”/178cm, 205 pounds/93 kg and the Extra Large fits well. It’s very form fitting but not too tight, I have more in the mid-section than smaller cyclists, but this is not uncomfortable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great value, minimal sacrifices It costs less than the standard lightweight jersey, but where it's important — the fabric, the cut — it's every bit as comfortable as its more expensive counterpart. It doesn't have some of the nicer touches — the laundry loop, the zipped valuables pocket, the mesh panels — but I do lots of rides where I don't really need all that. It's a great way to own high quality kit without feeling like you've just sacrificed your kid's future

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lightweight jersey for hotter days My first foray into Rapha jerseys and I'm very impressed with the lightweight core. I opted for pale blue in a Large, and it fit me very well for a 5'6", 40" chest, 77kg rider. It was nice and breathable, and the quality was very impressive for the relatively low price (compared to other premium jerseys). I've since bought another regular core jersey in Large, and found the sizing to be the same, so I don't think this is particularly tighter than 'usual'.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable, stylish, great fitting jersey The sizing guide is accurate and the jersey is a great fit. It is very comfortable and I love the simple style. Works well in warm and hot weather and for the quality of the jersey, it is great value. To help with sizing (I always look for others views in reviews) I bought this in Large and it is a great fit - not skin tight and not flappy. I am 6ft2, about 41/42 inch chest, 30 inch waist, 13 stone and take an XL in Castelli.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Favourite Jersey This jersey is fantastic. I love the colour (light blue). The fit is perfect. I’m 190cm tall, and weight 75kg, athletic build. I ordered a size M. The fit is pretty aero with little to no bunching at the front when on the bike. If I have one complaint, it’s that the sleeves are a little short when my arms are extended, but it’s a very minor thing. The material is lovely, lightweight and airy/breathable as advertised. It’s my favourite jersey. I think it’s absolutely unbeatable, especially for the price. Highly recommend, I don’t think you can go wrong.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not the classic fit Not bad per se, but the fit is off. At 180cm / 75kg a classic M is a comfortable fit for me, I might even try S on my next purchase. However, I was barely able to close the zipper at the hips without fear of tearing a seam on a lightweight M. Definitely not the same fit! So I sized up to an L, which is too long, too loose and has flappy arms. All in all a disappointing purchase, I'll try to pass it on to a friend.

Is this jersey Navy the same as the shorts Navy or Dark Navy? So far I've found Navy, Dark Navy and Navy Marl so what's the diferences as they all appear different?

Asked by: ianrams
This Navy jersey is in between the Navy Marl and the Dark Navy colours. We offer slightly different blues for a varied and visually interesting look.
