Women's Cycling Jerseys
The best cycling jerseys in the world. Attention to detail and design innovation combine to enhance every ride.
Why is Merino wool used in summer cycling jerseys?
Merino is a reactive fibre; it keeps you cool in the heat by accelerating evaporation and stays warm if the temperature drops or you get damp. It is also naturally antimicrobial, meaning your jersey stays fresh for longer — a major benefit for multi-day trips or long summer days in the saddle.
Are Rapha jerseys designed with women-specific pocket placement?
Yes. We understand that reaching for snacks or a phone mid-ride can be difficult if pockets are too high or narrow. Our women’s jerseys feature specifically positioned rear pockets that are angled for easier access while on the move. Many of our technical jerseys, like the Pro Team and Souplesse models, also include reinforced pocket structures to prevent sagging when fully loaded, along with a discreet zipped security pocket for valuables like keys or cards.
How can I make sure my technical jerseys last a long time?
To maintain the wicking properties and fit of your jersey, we recommend washing at 30°C with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibres and significantly reduce breathability. We recommended to air-dry your jerseys; tumble drying can damage the heat-bonded seams and silicone grippers. For Merino jerseys, using a wool-specific detergent will help preserve the natural oils of the fibre, keeping your jersey soft for seasons to come.
Does Rapha offer a repair service if I damage my jersey in a crash?
We want you to ride with confidence. If you have a mishap and tear your jersey, we offer a free repair service in most regions (including the US, UK, EU, and AU). Simply contact our customer service team to arrange a functional repair by our expert technicians. This service helps extend the life of your favourite kit and is part of our commitment to sustainability and long-term value for our riders.
What is the difference between a Race Fit and a Regular Fit in women's jerseys?
Fit is determined by how you position yourself on the bike. A Race Fit (found in Pro Team and Souplesse) is cut to be "painted on" while you are in a low, aggressive riding position. It will feel tight and short when you stand up, but it prevents fabric from flapping at speed. A Regular Fit (found in Classic and Core) offers a more streamlined but less restrictive silhouette, providing more room around the chest and waist for a comfortable feel during café stops or longer endurance efforts.
