Description

Inspired by the Rapha Brevet credo of ‘pack light, travel far’, the multi-functional Brevet Long Sleeve Windblock Jersey fuses the all-day performance of a merino jersey, with the wind-protection of a gilet.

Warm and insulating, an overlaid panel made from the fabric of the Rapha Brevet Gilet has been stitched onto the front of the jersey and the arms, doing away with the need for a windbreaker or a base layer because the panel layers over the jersey fabric. With reflective and hi-vis Brevet stripes on the front and back, and a total of five pockets, this is a versatile piece with ample storage for food and tools. Paired with its ability to be washed and dried overnight, this makes the Brevet Long Sleeve Windblock Jersey the perfect companion for multi-day adventures by bike.

“… the Brevet would only look out of place in your local race or time-trial. If you're a road cyclist on the Sunday club run, a gravel grinder on a bikepacking adventure, or a mountain biker hitting the trails, the Brevet is likely to become your preferred pick-me-up on your way out.”

“The Brevet's versatility really comes into its own when it comes to temperature range, though. Made from 89% merino and 11% nylon, the Brevet Windblock can be paired with a winter base layer to be comfortable in -2 degrees celsius (28 Fahrenheit), or a summer base layer and suitable for 25-degree sunshine.”

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointing Firstly it’s not red as shown on the website but a crimson colour. Not the end of the world and no reason to return it in my case. It’s the poor performance and fit I found disappointing. The sleeves are baggy and the windbreaker material flaps in the wind. I’ve finished most rides with the sleeves still wet with sweat- poor wicking which means it’s cold and uncomfortable. The windbreaker fabric is not great. I’ve got other jerseys that are less expensive and do a better job. The concept is interesting but the execution not great. A shame because all my other Rapha buys are great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A very versatile jersey This is the perfect jersey to wear in spring and autumn weather when it might still be chilly early-on or a bit breezy. It is very comfortable to wear and the "attached" wind proof panels work very well. The back of the jersey and arm panels are very similar to the standard merino jerseys and allow it to breath and stop you overheating when it gets warm. As it's part of the brevet range the fitting is slightly looser than a race fit and it also has two small pockets in the front of the jersey - helpful for storing extra food or bits and bobs if out for a long ride. Would recommend. I'm 5ft 8" / 69kg and size small is a perfect fit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My new fav piece of kit I had a similar jersey from an Italian outfit that was my go-to shoulder season workhorse for years. Mtb, road, CX, you name it. When it wore out I bought their replacement that looks and feels like a black garbage bag glued to a jersey. The Brevet Windblock is more like my old favourite only with better sweat management and just enough room to layer. I rode it on a 8c day on the road (windy here) and then rode it snow biking on a ride that varied from 0 to +6 with just one light layer under. On both rides I was totally comfortable. Sizing-wise I'm 5' 10" and 165lbs and a Large fits me well with just enough room for a layer without feeling like a pork sausage.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not quite what I needed. I needed a warm, wind proof, visible jersey for winter commutes & weekend rides. I was attracted to the concept of a high wool content jersey with a wind proof membrane. In reality the brevet jersey may be a bit light for my purpose: it is a very high quality garment, made to Rapha’s usual standards, however even with two layers of wool underneath the cold still pierced my torso. The colour is described as red but looks more brown. The rear & side pockets are versatile, the reflective stripes are reassuring, the fit was perfect. I may have been better with a winter wind proof training jersey or a brevet jersey/ gilet combination. This garment will serve me well in milder conditions; I can ride to work & wear it all day if necessary & I’ll continue to use it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect jersey for cooler temps I got this to fill the gap between the summer jersey and the winter jacket, with the pro team base layer or the thermal ones it can do the job very nicely, and thanks to the front windblock panel and the back meshed merino wool I can stay warm and toasty. The jersey equipped with three addition pockets compare to the pro team jersey which is great for longer rider packing but I found the front pocket quite useless due to the belly I got, if I put my phone in the pocket it keep hitting my leg, but I think this is just personal case. But with that been said I found this jersey quite useful.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Multi-use jacket for cool weather / moist weather Great jacket for cooler weather since it blocks wind in the front, but a merino back material breathes well but is warm. Fit is just right but not stretchy. Pockets with ring pulls are easily accessible. Only downside is that it doesn't pack that small, so it's too big to stow in a rear jersey pocket, and takes up room in a larger saddle bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Versatile I own a great number of Rapha items, this is one of my favorites. The wind block on the front makes it very versatile, cross between a jersey and jacket. The olive color is perfectly understated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Jersey... But... I find this one of Rapha's most versatile jerseys. Incredibly comfortable through a wide range of temperatures and while the front is windproof the back merino material breathes fantastically. The purple has had numerous people say how nice and noticable the colour is. However... Ended up having to buy two sizes and still not 100% decided. I think the sizing of these has changed since I last bought one a couple of years ago. A small fits perfectly on the body when trying standing and crouching. It ends up a little baggy at the front when riding but the problem is the arms. Way to long and baggy from the elbows down. shoulders fit great as do the wrist elastic, just the mid arm is not tapered enough. Went down to an XS to get the sleeves to feel right. The compromise is the shoulders and body are nearly too tight given the front panels don't stretch but I'll make it work. Otherwise a very nearly perfect all round Jersey.

I like the design of this jacket very much, the problem is: I’m a woman. Do you think the jacket could fit anyways? Or is the shoulder section too wide? I’m 170cm tall and my weight is 64 kilograms. 

Asked by: Temple
The women's version of the Brevet Long Sleeve Windblock Jersey exists but not in that colour. It is fairly common to see women ordering men garment in the smaller size than they are used to wear.

Does it give some protection against the rain ?

Asked by: Di2tim
The Brevet Long Sleeve Windblock Jersey features light wind protection, but it does not protect against rain.

What's the reccomend temperature scale for use with this jacket please

Asked by: Ian12
Hi. As we all regulate temperature differently, it is difficult to provide a specific temperature range for this item. It is ideal for cool to cold conditions and can provide protection in a wider range of temperatures when paired with a base layer and/or an outer layer.

For winter cycling in Australia, is the Brevet Long Sleeve Windblock jersey appropriate, or do you recommend the Classic Winter Windblock jersey?

Asked by: cbougas
That depends quite highly on the temperatures you are riding in. The Classic Winter is much warmer.
