RCC Classic Jersey
A new generation of Rapha’s iconic jersey, the Classic Jersey II is a highly evolved design. Cut from a proprietary merino-based fabric, it is lighter, softer and more breathable - and now available in club colours.
Description
A classic reborn in club colours
The Classic Jersey was Rapha’s first ever product. A bold expression of the company’s mission to create the world’s best cycling apparel, it changed the industry. Predominantly black and cut from an unorthodox merino-wool-based fabric, Bicycling Magazine’s Editor Bill Strickland declared it the ‘best bike jersey the world has ever seen.’
Twelve years on Rapha introduced a new version, the Classic Jersey II, in 2015. Reimagined once more in RCC livery for 2017, the evolved design is cut from a proprietary merino-wool-based fabric, milled to Rapha’s exact specification. Called RPM150 (Rapha Performance Merino, the 150 indicates grams per square metre), it is lighter, softer and more breathable than the generic merino-blends used in the first incarnation of the Classic Jersey and is adaptable to a huge range of conditions.
The construction of the jersey has also been overhauled with a reworked fit and bonding has been used extensively to improve stretch in the seams and reduce bulk.

Why would you wear any other cycling brand?
I held out not wearing Rapha products for the 3 years I've been into road cycling because of other people's (who don't wear Rapha) negative comments. Well... I didn't know any better, but now I sure do! Rapha cycling kit is hands down the best quality & most comfortable kit on the market. I've joined the club, drunk the cool and and I'm all in. This Classic Jersey II is my all rounder, it's loose enough to feel super comfy but it's tight enough to feel super fast in it also. It looks great, you look great in it, you really can't go wrong with having one of these in the (Rapha only now) collection.

Very comfortable, excellent fit
Used it on an 80-mile ride recently. The temperature ranged from 15 C at the start and about 25 C at the end. Wore a gilet in the beginning, which I removed during the ride. The jersey was very comfortable during the entire ride.

Every wardrobe needs one!
I usually wear Pro Team but have classic items in the wardrobe for more casual riding. The old classic jersey had shorter sleeves which I didn't like as they showed off my dodgy tattoo (I was young and reckless), but the new version has longer sleeves which is a thumbs up from me.
The sportwool material is good at wicking moisture and doesn't get too hot - not sure if it's quite as good as the old merino fabric though.
All in all a good jersey and the RCC colours are tasteful and not too garish.

Classic RCC
There are days when this is just the perfect jersey to drag out of the RCC kit drawer. Comfortable and less racy than the Pro Team RCC midweight and aero options. Probably a good choice when you want to slide modestly under the radar on that first ride with strangers.

Great made greater
Love the look and feel of this jersey. Just very very cool. Fit is slim, but not crazy. I love the tailored sleeves, but the hi-viz accents on the left sleeve make it somewhat rigid. Not terrible, but if you're wearing a base layer w/ sleeves, it does make it a little tougher to squeeze your arm thru.

Simple design belies complex features
Any Classic Jersey lives up to its Rapha product description and intent its been around a while and reviewed many times. So if you are a new RCC member and can't decide which Jersey, This is the one to get first.

Very comfortable !!!
I am so glad I bought it a few weeks ago as the jersey is ideal to wear in winter over a base layer with a gilet. The fabric is extremely comfortable and feels good, the black colour looks great.

Hi! Im a size M on the pro team aero jersey. My chest measurement is 90cm but I decided to buy one size up on the pro team aero, it was the right decision. For this classic II jersey, should I buy small? What about for the shadow jerseys?
The Pro Team Jersey, as with the Shadow collection has a race fit. The Classic Jersey has a more relaxed fit and the Small size should be the appropriate size based upon the information and dimensions provided.
If the garment does not meet with your suitability then you can return this to us under our 90 day returns policy.

What are the buttons for on the back?
The buttons on the back are to affix any race numbers on.

The Proteam jersey I am wearing XL, and must downsize on CORE Jersey to L (fits well). What do you suggest for Classic II? XL or L?
For the Classic Range you should fit well into the Large.

I normally wear a size small in all rapha jerseys. Love the fit of my pro aero jerseys for example in Small. Are the classic II jerseys much roomier? Should I go XS?? 33.5 in chest.
Hi, please refer to the size guide as far as possible. With the information you have provided, we would suggest you try a XS. Should you need to exchange, we have a 90 days return period.

It looks like this jersey has a longer sleeve than the classic jersey. If so, how much longer is it?
Hi, this jersey has exactly the same fit as the standard Classic Jersey II.
