Description

Designed for the hottest, most humid conditions, this Classic Flyweight Print Jersey delivers comfort in the heat with an eye-catching print design inspired by the fast-moving lines of the peloton. Quick-wicking, fast-drying fabric encourages air flow, keeping you from overheating on stifling days. A low-cut collar keeps your neck cool and clear for comfort and breathability.

Fewer seams improve moisture transfer, and a lightweight, minimal gripper and zip cut back on bulk. Expandable pockets sit away from the body when full, and a mesh lining inside helps reduce perspiration. A contrast armband with script logo nods to classic style.

“… I definitely noticed its weight (or lack there-off) and it’s a very thin top. After all, this is a jersey designed for hot and humid conditions, making it the perfect jersey for the recent heatwave we’ve been experiencing … When riding, it handles the increased sweat very well, and the jersey rarely felt wet at the end of rides. Even better, after hanging up for a couple of hours it felt (and smelt) ready to go again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very light and performs well The flyweight jersey is super light, as advertised, and great for rides in 80o F or hotter. The fabric is very delicate though so use a garment bag when washing in a washing machine and never use a dryer (hang dry... it’s so light it will dry in a couple of hours on its own). Also, I got the grey one and the color is a lot lighter and not as nice as I imagined or the pictures. I’m keeping it but I wish they had nicer light colors. Finally, even though this is advertised as a classic fit, it actually runs pretty small - basically like the pro fit. So order a size up. Or two if you want a looser fit.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent fit, but maybe too light? (it tore) I love the fit of this--not as tight and stretchy as the Pro Team stuff, but not a lot of excess flapping either (I'm 152 lbs and 5'8" and I got the M size). However, the lower back panel is made from a very thin mesh, and as I reached back to pull the rear of this jersey down while on a ride, I tore a hole just under the pockets. So, it's a bit fragile, maybe too lightweight, in this area. Getting it repaired, but I'm not sure how much I'll like a repair patch... Too bad, because the fit and pattern is really nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You get what you pay for If you have the time to be a "deal hunter", good on you, but I don't. Never disappointed with Rapha. 5'10", 161 lbs, size L is perfect for me. Exactly what one should expect for the price and for a Rapha product. The lightweight jersey from a few years back was my favorite, the superlightweight from the same time has not held up as well as the fabric was more gauzelike. Sleeves are a bit longer than most but to me just the right length with excellent grippers. I prefer to carry my iPhone 7 in the center pocket instead of the side because of it's weight, but I'm not convinced the center pocket will hold up over time. Would be nice to see a reinforced/supported center pocket of appropriate size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great quality design and service Great quality design and service. I now wear Rapha in honour of my Son, who wore nothing but Rapha from his very first purchase, up until he sadly passed away in 2015.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great product, but ... This was my first Rapha product, and as they said it's great. Perfectly made, super-fitted, from great materials, super comfortable during long ride. Though there is a problem with bottom ZIP holder, it's slightly sharp and pulled/pulling my bibs. Right now there are some scratches, but think that after couple next rides there will be a whole which is not great and super awesome ...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice lightweight jersey, nice casual fit This is my second Flyweight jersey, the first one has a slightly different collar, but overall they are identical in construction and style. Highly recommended for hot weather. These are super, super light garments. They are perfect for when the tightness of Pro Team isn't what you want for a casual ride.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for hot weather I live in Arizona, USA. It gets really hot. So I got the fly weight jersey. I am super happy with it. I love the fit, it is a looser fit, but since this is for group rides that is fine. It breathes really well and as long as you are moving it always feels like there is air flowing. With or without a base layer works fine. I have washed it a few times and looks brand new. It drys super fast. If you ride when it is hot, you will be happy and look good

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for hot hot hot rides All cycling clothing makers -- Rapha included -- love to brag about which of their jerseys are great for summer rides, but I get the idea most of those claims envision summer as an occasionally-warm, pleasant season and not the 95+ high-humidity saunafest reality of southeast Texas. Even so, I took a flier on the Classic Flyweight, and I have to say it is BY FAR the best jersey I've worn on the sticky, sweltering, muggy days we get all summer in the Houston area. It's AMAZINGLY comfortable. I was so blown away I immediately bought a second one. If you ride where it's legit hot, this is your jersey. Sizing is cycling-svelte. I'm not small -- 45ish inch chest, 34ish inch waist -- and in things outside riding, I wear an L. This jersey is an XXL and fits well on the shoulders and arms, but is more roomy in my midsection.

I am 179cm, 70 kg. Also Chest 90 cm, Hips 93-94cm and Waist 81 cm. Should i get Small or Medium ? Thanks

Asked by: eelric
Going off of your measurements, it seems as though you fall right in between a Small and Medium in the Classic Flyweight Jersey. If you prefer a race-ready fit, we recommend sizing down, however, if you prefer a little more room a Medium would be the better option. If you're unsure of which would best suit you, we recommend purchasing one of each size, and returning the jersey that doesn't suit you. We offer free returns to make finding the right size easy.

Is the sizing of this jersey pretty similar to the Core line? I have both a large and medium in the Core line and find the large size a bit more relaxed fit with too loose a sleeve while the medium jersey form fits really well. Look'n for a summer version

Asked by: ReggieL
Hi. I would Recommend the medium.

UPF15 how is that adequate under a hot sun? 

Asked by: Cool skip
The jersey is simply a supplement to your regular sun protectant regime.

Is the black version treated to make it less heat-absorbent on hot days? Are other colours recommended for high summer, or is the black still comfortable to wear?

Asked by: mikeber
All colors are just fine to wear on a sunny day.
