Description
Ride comfortably in cool conditions with the Core Long Sleeve Jersey. Made of a thicker fabric than the Short Sleeve Core Jersey, and with a fleecy, brushed inner, you’ll stay snug throughout any spring and autumn ride in this seasonal essential. With full-length raglan sleeves and side panels for stability, the jersey is shaped to fit the body perfectly in a road-bike position.
The jersey features contrast logos on the rear and the chest and, for the first time, Rapha’s signature white armband, all creating a simple, refined look. Considered finishing details such as ribbed collar and cuffs, a concealed zip pocket and a deep, and a laser-cut rear gripper add comfort and convenience, making this the ideal cool-weather jersey for any length of ride. The fabric has been treated with antibacterial and moisture management processes to stay fresher for longer. As with the rest of the Core collection, this jersey delivers the essentials, perfectly crafted.
Our Core range has a slightly more relaxed fit. If you’re unsure which size will offer you the most comfort, our updated size guides can help you find the perfect size.
“The jersey has been comfortable on recent 10 degree morning rides and I’d be confident wearing it down towards five degrees with a gilet on top. It offers good protection from the bite of the wind and a guard down the back of the zip stops the chill sneaking in.”
8/10 Rupert Radley, cyclingweekly.com

Solid mid to cold weather jersey
I bought this Jersey to wear either over a base layer for autumnal weather here in Sweden or simply over a vest for cooler days.
Having had nothing but cold weather since receiving it i can confirm that in temperatures done to 5 degrees it works great with a gilet and a base layer.
The pockets are larger enough and seem to be built to withstand the constant abuse they get when stuffing a wet jacket into them or retrieving a bar/phone when wearing gloves.
The bright orange, if its your thing, is a stylish colour and adds a little more visibility in the darker months.
Good arm length ensures no cold spots when riding.

Great Spring / Autumn Jersey
Have been wearing a short sleeve core jersey most of the summer so as the weather took a turn for the cooler thought I'd give the long sleeve version a go since I was very happy with the fit and features.
If anything this is even better than the short sleeve. Material right on the Goldilocks mark - not too hot and not too cold, and cuts out a significant amount of wind chill without becoming sweaty.
Late October now and staring to couple this with a gilet and windproof gloves which should do me for winter in dry conditions.

Deep purple
Really nice quality top, looks great in purple too, beautiful colour. I'm 17 stone with a rugby type physique, and XL is just about right size for me, little bit tight, but is meant to be in my opinion for cycling. I think 2xl would have been too loose. Only gripe for me is that as i have big arms, the fit is very tight around the white Rapha arm band as it is stitched in and doesnt stretch much because of this, always leaves an indent on my arm, but apart from that is still okay for me. Unfortunately think I'm just between sizes in Rapha gear. Is nice and warm ideally around 10c imo. Overall great value for money for Rapha.

Not as good as I had hoped.
I bought this jersey off the back of having the short sleeve version however even though it is same size (XL) it fits much tighter & the material feels... cheaper? I can’t think of a better way of describing it. It is very polyester which doesn’t feel nice. I have similar jersey from decathlon which I think I will continue to use instead of this.

Great autumn jersey, but ...
Rapha Core range is excellent, mostly, and this jersey is no exception. Warm (for autumn, and so I guess spring too), great fabric and overall fit. Points that Rapha could improve on, in my opinion: sleeve length maybe 1/2” too long for average / medium fit; sleeves are also v slim fitting so if you have any decent guns then it’s going to be tight!; the bottom rear has a tendency to curl up, even with the excellent silicon edge. Would I buy another? Yes. But it would be great if Rapha did some brighter colours too!

Superb jersey without breaking the bank.
Looks very smart, detailing excellent, and feels great on. Ordered a medium and large, large fits perfectly as more of a stocky build so didn’t even try medium. Given me the extra warmth needed for autumn, even on the slightly warmer afternoons it hasn’t been too much and works really well in terms of breathability. Comfortable, functional, cracking piece of kit at a cracking price. Washes well, dries quickly. Very impressed with it, and feel that the quality Rapha is renowned for is backed up in this product.

Good sizing!
Pleasantly surprised with sizing, different to what I had seen online.
Some forums had reported wide fitting torso and short arm length, this is not what I experienced.
I am 6"2 and 78kg. Skinny upper body. I would say the torso fit is more relaxed but certainly not loose. I am happy I can fit a base layer underneath and can store extra layers in the pockets without it feeling too tight. the arms are long and quite tight, apart from around the end of my forearm and wrist area, where it seems looser.
Overall very pleased. I have received compliments on the piece.

Nice colours
Bought the orange in size sml, as i have the brevet long sleeve windblock in that size but i would say this is a tighter fit especially the arms. I don't have big arms but found these quiet hard to pullover a long sleeve summer base layer. Other than that fit is good, tight, but able to put stuff in back pockets without feeling restricted. I have worn it in 8c with summer baselayer & a gilet & have been comfortable.

Is the blue/navy version of this Core Long sleeve the same blue as the current Brevet Gilet? Or are they different shades? I think they would look quite good together but just want to check before purchasing
They are different shades, but would look good together nonetheless.

I am medium in all my Rapha short sleeve jerseys, I have a merino long sleeve casual one that I am small , which size shall I go for ( my shoulder to wris length is 64cm )
I would recommend sticking to a size small if you are comfortable with this.

Hi, which one is warmer? The Core Long Sleeve Jersey or this one?
This is the updated version of the older discontinued jersey. They are both suitable for the same temperatures and rides.

Hi, I'm 5'9" with 42" chest, 35.5 waist, and 39.5 hips. Should I get size L or XL? I also have larger biceps, will that be an issue? One of the reviews says the armband is restrictive and less stretchy.
We would recommend a size Large for you. As always we have a free 30 day returns policy should you need to return the item to us.

Hi, The size guide just gives a single value, rather than a range. Is this max, min or mid point? Thanks.
Hi , the measurements provided in the sizing chart are body measurements. The measurements are mid points.

Hello there. I have bought a medium jersey and measure 35 1/2 chest, 32 waste, 36 hips. I’m 5’ 11”. Finding it a pretty tight fit and a bit short in the torso, riding up to top of my shorts when moving. Would a large be too big for me?
Hi. I think it might be too big for you but I would recommend ordering one in size Large so you can compare them. The difference in length between the two sizes is 2 cm.

What is the length of the front of the jersey for size medium?
The length is 60cm.
