Description
Style and supreme comfort in the highest heat
Designed specifically for rides in hot and humid conditions, the Women’s Flyweight Jersey is lightweight and highly breathable.
Using a high-wicking and fast-drying fabric, the relaxed fit of the jersey is cut to sit slightly away from the skin, allowing air to flow around the body and keeping you cool. The collar sits lower than on other jerseys for better breathability.
Unnecessary seams have been removed to improve moisture transfer and a weight-saving minimal gripper and lightweight zipper are used.
Featuring a new, expandable pocket construction that sits away from the body when full, a mesh yoke at the rear and a mesh lining inside the pockets to increase ventilation in areas of high perspiration.
Style details include a contrast armband, and reflective logo details on the back and arm.
Reviews
“The Rapha Women's Flyweight Jersey is a lightweight top that looks good and keeps you cool and dry on hot summer days. With four colour options, each featuring Rapha's trademark stylish contrast armband on the left sleeve, there is likely to be something for everyone, whether you want to stand out or blend in.”

Light weight
Super lightweight, been wearing it for the rapha prestige Chiangmai in Thailand! Perfect for sweaty long ride! But this style has serious sizing problem. Rapha Core I wear "S", Rapha soupless I wear "M", this one I needed "XXS"! I ordered M & S initially then had to return both and got XS and XXS. So beware and try to order a few different sizes to avoid having to return/exchange.

Great Lightweight Jersey
I bought this because I was looking for a lightweight jersey to wear in hot summer weather. The only Rapha jersey I have worn is the merino wool so I was curious if it would fit the same. I wear the same size in both styles, so that was good. The rear pockets are just as roomy as the merino jersey....great!! I love Rapha's pocket sizes. The jersey breathes well! I haven't been able to wear it in really hot humid weather yet, but I feel it will be great. The only thing I will have to wait to see is how it holds up against odor bacteria. I buy the merino wool jerseys because of the anti-microbial properties. Mine never stinks...even after almost 10 years of wear! Time will tell how well this jersey does in that area.

Definitely good in the heat
I did the same ride two days is a row, with about the same temperatures. The Flyweight jersey was definitely cooler than my other brand lighter weight wool jersey. The sleeves are longer than my Rapha Brevet jersey and the band around the bottom of the sleeve felt a little tight on my biceps. However, I didn't notice it when riding at all. The extra length is probably a good thing when you are getting too much sun. I ordered my usual Rapha size. This jersey may run a bit smaller than my other Rapha pieces, but that may partially be due to the lighter weight fabric.

Comfort and Style in one !
Love this shirt, however had to purchase a Small instead of Extra Small as I feel that for my shape the Jersey is not long enough in length at the front. I don't like exposing my belly-button when I stand up !

Great all-round jersey
I've been riding with this jersey through a terribly humid summer and so far it dries really fast, is thin enough (although I would prefer an even shorter collar for a flyweight), and it runs large so choose your size wisely. The only gripe I would have is light colours and sweat/dirt stains. I'd be mindful of the deodorant you use as well as the most effective washing practices.
Overall, super happy with the choice!

My new favorite jersey
I love the lightweight fabric and the fit is perfect for me. I've struggled with fit on some of the other women's jerseys, mainly the pockets being too high, or in case of the "club fit" jerseys, the shoulders being strangely baggy. This one fits perfectly. I rode a weekend 60 miler in it on a 90 degree day and it was great. I also like the flashy pink.

Beautiful fabric and fit
I recently purchased the Flyweight jersey and it’s easily become my favorite. The fabric is breathable and wicks sweat on hot days. The Flyweight fits slimmer than the Core jersey, but I would not recommend sizing up, just depends on the fit you prefer. I will definitely consider getting another in the future.

great fitting jersey for warm weather
I like the fit of this jersey a lot - it follows your shape but is not to a slinky/showing all your bumps. When off the bike the back does feel spacey around the back pocket area but it's fine on the bike and adds to breathability. I love the green colour, but also bought the blue/pink stripe.

I am 168 cm high, 107-92-107 cm. Can I wear size XL
Hi, yes I think this may fit you well in an XL, they do come up slightly generous in size. Should you need to exchange or refund, we have a 90 days return period for new/unused garments with tags and in saleable condition.

Would the navy brevet socks with the pink match this jersey also the hi vi's pink is that black or burgundy on the sleeve? What socks would you suggest for both that match
Hi, most of our pink accents will match but do bear in mind that different products will take dye differently so they may not be an exact match.

Hi, I'm 5ft high, 88/73/92, which size i have to buy? s or m?
You could look at a small size based upon these dimensions. We do have 90 day returns policy should the garment not meet with your specifications.

I would also like to know which of the three would be the coolest and most comfortable to wear for extremely hot and humid riding in Thailand...women's Flyweight vs Souplesse vs Souplesse Lightweight.
As we all regulate temperature differently it is hard to advice on the temperature range for individuals and differing exertion levels will also affect its properties.

I am 153cm 34-30-34. I have previously purchased women's Souplesse jersey size M which fits comfortably, and Souplesse lightweight size S which i find a tad bit too tight around the waist. I want to buy a women's flyweight jersey. Should i buy size M?
A Medium should be the appropriate fit for this garment. If this garment does not meet with your suitability then you can return these to us for an exchange under our free 90 day returns policy.

What is the true colour of this? Is it the same navy as the classic shorts?
The Navy used in this Jersey matches the Blue used in our brevet Bib Shorts II, but not the Classic II Shorts

Hi, just wondering if the sizing is similar to your core jersey. I am an XS in the Core but a Small in your other jerseys. Thanks
The sizing is similar to the Core Jersey and you would suit the XS sizing. We do have a 90 day returns policy should the garment not meet with your specifications.

I'm wondering if the fabric is truly SPF 50 since it's described as an open mesh? Sun protection is important. Also, from some promotional photos I saw of a woman riding in this jersey, it appeared that there is a zippered rear pocket...is that true?
The SPF listing is indeed accurate. The mesh lining within this jersey contains is inside the pockets to increase ventilation in areas of high perspiration. This garment does not contain a rear zippered pocket.
