Description
Bright and breeze-proof
The Brevet Gilet was made for longer rides when you don’t want to carry much with you, but it’s just as good for helping you stay seen and protected from chills on a training ride or the commute home.
Windproof fabrics protect your core while a lightweight mesh adds stretch and breathability at the sides and shoulders, respectively. Bright colours and reflective elements help to keep you seen on rides in low light. An offset zip is easy to open one-handed, and stops draughts moving between layers.
Reviews
"The colourway of the Brevet gilet replicates that of the jersey and the two items work perfectly together. An offset zip prevents any layering issues and a high collar helps to keep the elements out."
BikeRadar – 4/5

Perfect
Really happy with this purchase, my first Rapha item (but not my last). I was looking for something to block the wind out during my morning commute which starts with a long downhill, but being breathable is very important to me as I like to ride at tempo, I needed something high-viz with reflective elements for commuting but didn't want to look like I was on my way to a construction site. It fits the bill in all my needs. I've comfortably worn it over a jersey into mid 20s and into single digits with a roubaix jersey and base layer. And it packs up small, easily into jersey pocket, a bonus. Very happy with purchase.

Sizing wasn't for me
Typically I wear Proteam large as tall and slim. I am 1.90m and 82kg. (40-41" chest). Ordered medium, but surprised as still comes in really big in my opinion. arm holes large, big around neck. bunches around waist. Compared to my proteam lightweight gilet, and it is considerably bigger. I returned it and will try the classic gilet instead. No issues with quality this product. It looks good. It is a very light shell type of gilet though, similar in weight to my proteam lightweight gilet. Perhaps thought it might have a bit more substance being a Brevet model.

Top Gilet
Lightweight and fits easy in the jersey pocket. Good quality. I chose a Medium despite being just outside the top end of the fit range. Snug fit around lower chest but not uncomfortable. Fits well across shoulders and length is just right. Large size I think would have been too long and gaped in the chest. I'm a diehard roadie tracking to 60 yo at 175cm and 78 kg and 100 cm around the chest. Hope this helps.

Looks good, works well.
I ordered this direct from Rapha, with their usual prompt delivery and nice packaging. It feels nice - very lightweight but perfect when reamed up with my classic jersey, and classic arm warmers on cool evenings. Another factor in choosing was the bright panel on the back and reflective stripes - I ordered the blue one as I think hi-vis is a bit dorky, but I'd still prefer to be seen by traffic on twilight rides. I ordered a large size, as I take large in Rapha classic jerseys and T shirts. It fits nicely, but there's a tiny bit of flapping on the shoulders, but I can live with that. Overall, a good buy, I'm very happy with it.

Bright colour
I eventually got a gilet which just about fitted me. I initially ordered a size medium, the same size as my other Rapha jerseys and gilet, but this medium gilet was massive.
I sent it back requesting a change to a size small and I was shocked that it took over a month to get a replacement. I chased in the interim and was told that they were slow because they had a lot of returns (as if that was my problem!). This is the second time this length delay has happened when returning products which I feel is totally unacceptable for a internet sales company.
The size small is a better fit but the arm holes still gape. I would say that the design quality does not match the classic gilet even though that fabrics are lighter.

Nice cut
The gilet seems to be well built and the materials have that slightly luxurious Rapha edge. It's a nice slim, close-fitting piece eradicating the need for an adjustable hem. This makes it nice and streamlined and it pairs perfectly with a long sleeve jersey for cool rides. I would say the back could be made a little shorter to bring it more in line with the Classic Long Sleeve jersey (although it probably works better with the matching Brevet jersey), I find myself folding and tucking under my jersey at the back for a more streamlined fit.

Lovely lovely bit of kit
As usual from Rapha it looks great and is constructed brilliantly.
One thing to bear in mind is the size, I ordered a medium to match the jersey and it was a little too baggy for me (Flapping fabric drives me insane) so I exchanged it for the size down which was perfect!
On top of that Rapha gave me a few sachets of Chamois cream to try out with the exchange!
Very happy!

Hi, what's the difference between this and the classic? Besides the front pocket? Thank you in advance.
Hi, these are in fact completely different both in design and also in features.

Im a large in PRO team aero Jersey and medium in core Jersey. Im 99 cm in chest and 182 cm tall. Wich size should I choose?
As you are on the border of Large and Medium, both will fit, it becomes a question of best fit for you. The Medium will be a more slimline fit with little excess material, while the Large will have a more spacious cut and you may find that it will have more material than you need

Are the stripes reflective
Hi, the bottom stripe on this gilet is reflective. The Rapha logo on the rear of the gilet is also reflective.

Should one order the same size as the (Rapha) jersey under, or do you advise to step up one size for the gilet?
Hi, please order your usual Rapha size in this gilet. There is no need to size up.
