Description
A summer-weight shirt with cooling technology
An extremely lightweight and fast wicking shirt for the hottest days around town.
Our Summer Wicking Shirt is made from a lightweight seersucker gingham fabric that stands away from the skin and is incredibly fast wicking, helping release the moisture from your body to keep you comfortable.
Stretch has been introduced to the fabric for a better fit while riding and bike-friendly details such as a signature reflective seam tab have been added.
For improved ventilation, comfort and stretch, mesh has been inserted at the shoulder seams.
The shirt has been cut to provide a contemporary silhouette and front buttons covered to maintain its sharp lines. It is intended to be worn untucked, further promoting airflow around the body.

Lightweight summer shirt with nice design touches
Normally I'm a natural materials person and forgot to check with the purchase of the shirt as it's not 100% cotton. In this case however, the fabric chosen is great. Very lightweight. Across the shoulders there's a lovely design touch of a small amount of mesh material, allowing heat to escape more easily. Not immediately observable to the eye, as the colour matching is great. The natural "crumpleness" of the fabric allows for immediate wear after washing and also looks great post a ride. Nice Rapha design elements such as one of the two buttons on each cuff having a pink backing and edging, but a white front face. Makes you love the product all the more.
One slightly negative comment would be the length of the sleeve, which for me is normally never an issue (size S); in this case they sit a little long on the arms whilst in a social setting. Whilst riding, you correspondingly get a greater arm coverage. May be worth pointing this out as a "designed in" feature for those who didn't get an opportunity to try before you buy (as my case; but raphia returns are effortless, so no great drama returning them either).
Be nice if there were a few other colour options, as would definitely look to purchase another for the summer.

Yes yes yes. More like this pls
Ok so I’ve recently bought a load of causual cloths from Rapha and this is one of the good ones. The material is comfortable and has a slight stretch feel to it. Unlike some of the clothing I don’t seem to sweat much wearing it and even if I did the colour would hide it rather well. This particular item can be worn as a causual shirt and where I work I can also get away with it being relatively smart as well. More like this please.

Lightweight, easy care
Great shirt for summer. Light but not fragile fabric, some nice design touches around the buttons and the shoulders (mesh inserts), but best of all it's really easy to care for this garment. Hang it to dry and it reverts to a nice textured but not crumpled finish. No ironing needed. Great item to pack for travelling too. Well done Rapha!

The perfect summer shirt: no more sweat patches
This is the Summer shirt I've been searching for for years! Stylish with a smart-casual cut and a covered placket. Great for most office situations (unless you need to wear a tie) and for the bike. The quick-drying material can be worn without ironing and best of all: sweat patches are a thing of the past.

Disappointed by material problem
A really beautiful shirt wiht a good fit. However, I was very disappointed that a bit of string was coming out of the shirt. It is at chest level so very visable. Not the quality I expect for Rapha and the price I paid.

Comfy and breatheable
I have 2 of these shirts. Slim fitting and you can wear without ironing! Really nice cut and smart and casual. Very breatheable and cool to wear.

Is the fit a bit loose on this shirt? I'm typically a small in a pro team jersey. Wondering if i need to size down for this shirt.
We recommend that you keep your regular size unless you prefer your shirt to be extra fitted. Our sizing guide can offer guidance if you are unsure.

Does the short address odors
The shirt has a wicking material designed to push sweat away from the body and to keep you dry and should address the issue of odors in that respect.
