Shadow

A revolution in racewear

Description

The Pro Team Long Sleeve Shadow Jersey delivers unparalleled comfort and protection on the bike from autumn to spring. The revolutionary Shadow fabric is stretch-woven, meaning that it keeps the wet from getting in while letting body heat out so you can train hard in the rain without overheating or getting wet. For this season, we have made several adjustments to improve the jersey: the reflective armband now wraps all the way round, while the zip puller is slightly smaller. Developed for racing in the WorldTour, the jersey stretches close for an in-the-drops ‘race’ fit and has a soft, brushed inner so it can be worn straight onto skin or base layer. Elite racewear, made without compromise.

“Rapha has pulled out all the stops to come up with what we think is the best wet-weather jersey in the business – if you're racing in the rain, this is the one.”

– Cycling Weekly Editor’s Choice 2017

"​Rapha has discovered the Holy Grail in cycle kit - something totally and comprehensively water resistant that doesn’t boil you from the inside out​.”

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Comfy Top for Questionable Weather This long-sleeve jersey is perfect for colder days when there is rain in the forecast. It has a fleece-like lining that feels great against the skin. I have worn it on 3 rides in the rain so far. One of which was a 100-mile ride that started in the rain at 40 F and eventually became sunny at 60 F. I wore a merino shirt base layer underneath. The jersey kept me dry and warm throughout the ride. Even as the sun came out, I never felt too hot or sweaty. The reflective arm band is great. There is some moisture buildup in the pockets - even without rain, so anything that cannot get wet should be protected accordingly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best bit of kit I own ! I've ridden this in a whole range of conditions and temperates and it is brilliant - which it should be for the price! The only time it wasn't was when I rode with a long sleeve merino top which held the moisture in but since then I have ridden in it with short sleeve tops or just base layers for temps that reach into early teens. The back pockets are quite tight fitting, so getting stuff in and out in long gloves can be a challenge but its a great outer top from late autumn, through winter to early spring ! As its a pro fit it does come up small so you'll probably need a size bigger than normal !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Expensive, but very good I've ridden in the new Shadow jersey once, but can see this becoming a staple go to in questionable conditions. Given the top is very expensive no matter how you look at it, but the quality and functionality gives you many options and the fit is perfect for any discerning rider. One thing to note as many have already stated, consider the size up... I'm a medium all day long in any Rapha product, but definitely a large in the shadow leaving enough room for a thin merino base layer. Enjoy, safe riding and remember its good to share...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ONE BAD JERSEY! Got this in December and raced in a COLD triathlon in early January. The first 41 miles on the bike was straight into a cold wind and all I wore was a Tri top, and compression sleeves under the Shadow jersey and not once did I ever feel uncomfortable. The longer I wore it, the more it settled in, and felt like a second skin. It was crazy how good it felt. It's tight and has all the good feelings of compression gear yet it never felt binding and constricting. I've already told most everyone I know that they need this in their cycling clothing arsenal. I've even ran in it a few times in bitter cold and it felt great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cold to warm weather bliss It breathes and doesn't overheat when the sun is out and keeps you from freezing when it's not, regulate to suit with the choice of base layer. The cut is spot on, it felt a bit slim cut until I started riding when suddenly it all made sense. Size for me in Rapha is M for "classic" and L for "pro" The only criticism is if you zip half way and ride hard you suddenly find the jersey opening completely as the zip works it's way down with the wind....a bit of a surprise mid descent !!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect in every way! This jersey was suggested to me by a Rapha Ambassador that is a good friend of mine. I was looking for a jersey that protected me from the worst conditions and managed to keep me dry and warm at the same time, and the Shadow Jersey has not disappointed at all. My first ride out wearing it was in torrential rain and it protected me perfectly throughout the 40 mile journey. Given that it is also a very stylish jacket (you wouldn't expect any less with Rapha!), I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Most versatile jersey from Fall to Spring The comfort and fit of this piece are true to other jerseys. Workmanship is flawless. I am astounded at the temperature and humidity range that this jerseys is suited to handle. I've been just below freezing with a vest and wool undergarments to the mid 50s (10-15 C). It's comfortable in sunny conditions, wind and rain. It's incredibly light weight. It spans from the winter jersey to the long sleeve wool jersey and the Pro Team Winter jersey. The biggest remaining test is its durability over years. I'll keep my best pieces until they are threadbare, which has not happened to any of my Rapha jerseys in 10 years riding 200+ times each year. This one has stood up to twice a week wearing and washing well so far.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very good with one flaw This piece kept me bone dry in over an hour of steady heavy rain, EXCEPT for the arm with the reflective patch. Water leaked through the seams and that arm got wet. That seam should be taped like the other seams. Relatively small point, but raising it for whay it's worth.

Hi, I'm a short-torso 5'8'', 6'1'' wingspan and 36'' (unexpanded) chest. Would a Small be correct for me? I'd have gone for the short-sleeve + arm warmers like I've always done as long-sleeve jerseys just don't fit me but it seems to be unavailable.

Asked by: Slim58
Based on your sizing we would suggest the Medium Jersey in this item

Other than the sleeve length, can you confirm the differences between long and short sleeve shadow jerseys if there are any? 

Asked by: BarkerD
Hi, the Shadow Jersey is one garment which was offered in two different arm lengths.

I normally wear XL chest 45in,would you suggest I order XXL in this jersey as reviews tend to suggest it runs on the small side

Asked by: Mick 2
The Pro Team range are designed to be more tight fitting as opposed to the rest of our other garments. If you prefer a more relaxed fitting garment then the XXL should be the more preferable fit. We do have a 90 day returns policy if the garment does not meet with your specifications.

How would you compare this to the pro team training jacket? I imagine that this jersey is thinner? Allowing for use in warmers temps? Highest comfortable C temp?

Asked by: Conza
The Pro Team Training Jacket is more suitable to cooler conditions and is thicker to work with the elements including the cold and wind. A jersey is going to have a thinner material and can be used on it's own on more moderate conditions. As we all regulate temperature differently it is hard to advice on the temperature range for the Jacket for individuals and differing exertion levels will also affect its properties.
