Riding in the heat - Women's
Peak summer means longer days and higher speeds, but that also requires considered clothing choices, protection and hydration when the mercury revs its engine. So to help you embrace the heat, here’s a guide to the finest lightweight and performance enhancing cycling apparel under the sun.
Pro Team
The pinnacle of Rapha design, our WorldTour tested and developed kit for high summer consists of super-breathable fabrics that keep you cooler and let you move even faster when the temperatures climb.
Road
Combining rider-specific details, natural yarns and tried-and-tested tailoring, our products for hoovering up the tarmac this season are designed to keep going.
Pro Tip
On particularly hot days, moisten your cap before your ride, at cafés or springs en route to boost the cooling effect.
Core
Our lightweight yarns and adaptable designs for clocking more miles offer the versatility to stay comfortable all summer long.
Pro Tip
It pays to be prepared. Before your ride, stick an ice cube or two into your bidons - you'll thank yourself later.
Glasses
Look further this summer. Rapha Eyewear uses proprietary technology to enhance every detail in your surroundings, with black and silver mirror lens options for the brightest days.
Pro Tip
When not in use, store your glasses in the vents of your helmet. Slide the arms through the vents for a satisfyingly secure fit - a far safer place compared to hanging them from your jersey collar.
