Rated 3 out of 5 by from Small pockets and big size gaps Pockets located too high up on the back to reach off or on the bike. I'm 174 cm (5 feet 9 in) tall with 94 cm chest and got size small. My arms can't turn and reach high enough behind my back to get my forefingers into the pockets. My thumbs barely catch the opening. For reference the pocket opening is located about 2 inches above my navel. And the pockets themselves are unusually small and shallow in comparison to Castelli or Pearl Izumi jerseys. I wear size medium from these companies. In hindsight, Rapha size medium would be bigger but way too big in my opinion - a whopping 6 cm (almost 2.5 inches bigger in the next size up).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this jersey My first Rapha jersey and I love it. The fit is snug but not too tight. I am 5'10" and 180 and wear a large. The zippered pocket in the rear has been an unexpected benefit. It is perfect for stashing a light vest or arm warmers without filling your more accessible pockets once the day heats up leaving them free for food, phone, etc.. It is listed as lightweight but the material is thicker than I anticipated. I would say anything over 85 degrees Fahrenheit would be too warm and the zippered pocket does add an additional layer against your lower back. That being said I will likely own another one in the near future

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Long Ride Staple This jersey is one of my favorites. I really appreciate all the reflective details. It has more than enough pockets to pack just about anything for a long ride. I've put the Explore Gore tex in the zippered pocket, and didn't really notice it throughout the ride. I was initially concerned about all of the design stitching rubbing, chaffing, or just being a distraction; maybe it's my baselayer that really makes it all go unnoticed. I keep forgetting about the side pocket. If I know, I don't know where I'm going, this is my jersey of choice. The fit is as expected, I'm 175c/79k, and wear a medium.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not as lightweight as expected Excellent fit, superb workmanship and stylish. Love all the pockets on long rides. I'm 185cm / 80 kgs and Large fits perfectly to me. Not as lightweight as expected and a bit warmer feeling in hot weather. Good for riding till temperature of 25 Celsius then time to wear something lighter (Classic Flyweight Jersey?) The material is of high quality with the usual reflective stripes and the meticulous finishing touches. Love it !

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pretty Sweet Touring jersey It's a good jersey that performs well with lots of pockets. I'm kind of in between sizes where the medium is too small and the large has too much material around the chest and belly. When the pockets are loaded this is amended slightly on the large size but I wish the material was slightly more compressive. I have broadish shoulders and the sleeves on both sizes end up riding up my arms and I wish they were longer by a few cm's. It would be cool if there was an ultralight version as this jersey is still heavy compared to others out there which extends drying time after handwashing on long tours. Don't get me wrong the jersey performed well but there is room for improvement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All the pockets in the world If you are planning a brevet, fondo, bike packing trip, or any other ride which will require some additional cargo space, this is the jersey for you. Lightweight version is great for the hot and humid days on this bake. Plenty of storage options on the jersey for fuel, extra layers and other essentials you find necessary. Great quality. Jersey runs a little bit larger compared to the classic and core range of jerseys (at least it seemed to me). But you'll likely need the space if your stuffing your pockets for the ultra distance ride you have planned.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not too roomy, which is good It’s nice that Rapha still has jerseys that aren’t skin-tight. This one is snug, which is a good fit for long days, keeping just a bit of space between so that it doesn’t stick to the skin as the ride heats up. It stays fairly dry and fresh over the ride. Also, a big deal for Colorado, where I mainly ride: the jersey has a zip up collar. Many jerseys don’t have them anymore (they look like zip-up T-shirts to my eye). I know the idea is to carry a gilet, but I don’t want to because the ride to the top of a mountain is hot (even on a cool day) what I want most when I arrive at the top are arm warmers to retain heat. I slip those on, and with this zip-up collar, I’m ready to descend staying as warm as I need to be. It’s not a winter jersey, more useful for the hot days at lower altitudes that get cooler as you go up. That’s essentially all the riding I do in the peak season so this jersey is going to get a lot of use. Good pockets. The extra front pocket is nice for keys or credit card/ID.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Usual high quality I have been a Rapha convert for many years and have many pieces. This jersey is of the usual high standard that you come to expect from Rapha. I have a winter Brevet which I bought several years ago which has many features. This jersey is exactly the same with the added feature of being in a light weight version which is great for warmer weather. The material is of high quality with the usual reflective stripes and the meticulous finishing touches. There is also the added bonus of the gilet picket. I like the high quality smooth satin like finish that has a comfortable feel on the skin.

Does the black jersey have reflective stripes like the rest? I assume it does, but the photos don't show it in the dark.

Asked by: thelebarons
Yes the black colourway does have the reflective stripe across the chest.

For a typical British spring/summer, would you recommend the lightweight brevet or the ‘standard’ brevet? I’m undecided on which one to purchase. 

Asked by: AshJH
We would recommend the Lightweight version for the summer season, but the Brevet Jersey may be more suited for early Spring morning rides.

On the inside of the jersey, the chest stripe on the older version used to rub directly on the chest. On the updated version is this still an issue or do you need to continue to wear a base layer?

Asked by: PaulHu
We would advise you to wear a baselayer with this jersey.
