Sturdy Jersey for hot rides
This is a sturdy, well designed jersey for hot rides. It fits like classic Rapha jerseys. Store encouraged a snug fit. It was comfortable in the heat. It wicks moisture away so you don’t feel wet spots on your back. Pockets are well placed and the contents of the zipped pocket (credit card) doesn’t interfere with the use of the larger side pocket. Recommended

Great for a first date; less so for hard riding
I bought the "light green/lime green" flyweight jersey to match my dark green pro bib shorts. My first ride in the jersey was 175km in temperatures between 30-35 C. I can back home to find four stains in the fabric: (1) a brown stain form my morning banana; (2) a reddish stain from a leather pouch that holds my ID and debit card; (3) a black stain from my pump; brownish stains across the front from I-don't-know-what, except maybe me being behind big trucks a few times that were belching exhaust. Worse, the stains wouldn't come out despite immediate and careful attention using appropriate stain removers and wash-by-hand techniques. Now, I have carried those three items (not the same banana, of course!) in my jersey pockets and shared the roads with big trucks for years, but never had stains like these. Certainly, I have kit that comes home looking dirty, but they always clean up properly. Not this light green/lime green flyweight jersey. After one ride it looks like it's been abused for weeks, if not months. I guess the jersey would be good for a first date if I wanted to impress somebody with matching kit in contemporary colors, and I could avoid using the pockets or sweating. As for going out and doing hard riding in hot/sweaty conditions (which is exactly why I bought an expensive flighweight jersey), the result is a jersey that looks terrible after one use. I expect my money to go further.

Best of the line
What can I say, Rapha has really nailed it with the classic flyweight jersey. Whereas the classic jersey seems to fit a bit loose and bulky, this flyweight fits a little tighter and smaller in the arms. I am 5'9 165lbs, with a medium build, so I fit somewhere between the Medium and large in the classic line. A large in the flyweight is the perfect fit, and is exceptional in the heat. They are delicate by nature, considering the lightweight materials, but treat them with care and this will be your go to jersey for the summer.

Tight and racy fit
I am 104 cm in chest (40 inches) and in Large (which is my size according to Rapha) this sits very tight. No room for a base layer, but then I hardly ever use base layers anyway since I overheat. I have a Brevet lightweight in Large which sits not as tight (it sits perfect). I have tried a XLarge in Classic but that one was a little bit wide around the waist. So I seem to be right between the sizes when it comes to the Classic lightweight jersey.
The material is thin, feels good. Style is great. Arms a little tight.

Great summer jersey
This is a great summer jersey. It's a simple but timeless look. The classic cut is more comfortable for the long warm days in the saddle. Only issue is that the off white is quite sheer. So I'd recommend using bibs with white straps and using a base layer if the transparency makes you uncomfortable.

Sized up. Great jersey. Forget I’m wearing it.
Had to size up from a medium a large. Mainly due to sleeve tightness on my biceps. Yeah, I’m jacked. (5’11 180, a bit of pudge on the mid-section.)
I like to describe this jersey as ‘disappearing’ in terms of how it feels when riding. Great product - my go to choice for rides above 75F.

Great Summer Weight Jersey with a Few Flaws
The light & breathable fabric of this jersey make it my favorite & usual go to all summer long in hot (30C+) & humid (80%+) conditions. However, there are slight sizing inconsistencies - I ordered two in the same size, with one being a bit larger than the other. Also, when a truck sideswiped me from a stoplight causing me to fall on this jersey’s first day out, the fabric tore immediately while my Italian bibshorts suffered not even a scuff. Still recommended, but with a caveat as to the fabric’s fragility.

Good for 90F+ high humidity, beware tight sleeves
Good for 90F+ high humidity but beware the tight sleeves. Almost see through. I do have large biceps so my problem will not be everyone’s issue. In a month the sleeves have stretched out a little. Medium worked well for 41 inch chest at 68 inches tall and 33 inch waist.

Fit is only good in the arms. In riding position, it bunches above the shoulder. And, too much fabric at midsection. I like the colar on the front but, too high in back. Fabric weight is great for warm weather.

Truly Flyweight
This is an impressive warm weather jersey. It is quite thin, and very comfortable for all day rides. It's my first Rapha "road" jersey, and I'm quite pleased with it. The fit is spot on for me. I'm 5'9" with a shorter torso than most, but the medium is perfect.

Nailed it
I’m 6’1” and 195lbs. A large is the best fit I’ve found amongst the top brands for someone with a little broader shoulders. The jersey fits my style and performance needs for both long rides and shorter races. Can’t go wrong with this one.

XXL? More like a medium
Great jersey, but way too small for a supposed XXL size. Gave it to my wife.

Fantastic lightweight jersey
Have had this for about a month and put some miles in on it. This is definitely a great lightweight jersey but it doesn't feel so lightweight that it's going to rip or tear in the wash. As an added bonus, it's also got some great UV blocking qualities which were appreciated on an unexpectedly long sunny ride that resulted in burnt arms outside of the jersey but nothing even close to a burn where it covered. Will definitely be getting a lot of action in with this one over the spring and summer!

Cool and Lightweight
I ride in hot tropical weather and the Classic Flyweight Jersey keeps me cool! I already have a few and they are my preferred jerseys during the summer. I love the white and blue version. It looks really sharp!

Comfortable but bad zip
It’s a nice looking piece of clothing unfortunately the ykk zip got stuck on the second time I wore it. While removing the zip is jammed and is unable to disengage. After applying a lot of lubricant than did I manage to remove it from my body. Very disappointed. Not even sure if it will even manage the third time I wear it.

Almost there
Nice top overall, I just found the length, particularly at the front to be not long enough. Ended up going up a size with little difference.

My fav Rapha toppa
The flyweight is hands down my favorite as I have 4 of them. Red brick color is dead on gorgeous! Great in heat or layered in cool.

Strange fit
I’m 192cm tall and around 90kg and I had to return the jersey because of a very strange fit. It’s a shame because the I loved the color. The quality of material and construction also seemed to be great for the price. I found the sleeves to be very tight around my (very average) arms to the point they were digging in and looking quite silly. At the same time the collar was enormous. I’m not even sure it would have been appropriate for someone 20kg heavier than me.

Super Light and Comfortable Fit
This is possibly the lightest jersey I've worn, great on the really hot days. Fits great. The only issue I have found is that you have to distribute the weight of anything you keep in the pockets quite evenly, My first ride, I loaded up just as normal with more on one side than the other and the bottom of the jersey kept sliding round - the heavy pocket trying to migrate to the front rather than stay put. This isn't something I've had with other jerseys.
