Frequently Asked Questions

Is Merino wool better than cotton for a cycling hoodie?

Both have their place. Our organic cotton hoodies offer a soft, classic feel and are incredibly durable for daily use. However, for the top performance in cooler weather, our Merino-blend sweatshirts provide superior odour resistance and moisture-wicking properties. Merino is a natural active fibre that reacts to your body temperature, keeping you warm when it's cold and releasing heat when you're moving. This makes Merino-based men's cycling jerseys and hoodies ideal for those who need a versatile layer for travel and bike-packing.

How do I prevent my Rapha hoodie from shrinking?

To maintain the as-new fit and feel of your men's cycling jerseys and sweatshirts, we recommend washing them at 30°C with a gentle detergent. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, which can coat the fibres and reduce the natural breathability of the fabric. It is always best to air-dry your hoodies; tumble drying can cause shrinkage and damage the integrity of the logos or drawcord aglets.

How do I stop my sweatshirt from smelling after a light commute?

If you frequently use your hoodie for active city riding, we recommend choosing our Merino-blend options. Merino wool is naturally antimicrobial, meaning it resists the build-up of odour-causing bacteria far better than standard cotton or polyester. This allows you to wear your sweatshirt for multiple commutes before it needs a wash. For those who prefer our organic cotton hoodies, we suggest wearing a technical base layer underneath to wick sweat away from the fabric, preserving the freshness of your men's cycling jerseys and leisurewear.

Will the hood on my cycling hoodie flap around while I am riding?

Rapha hoodies are designed with structured, multi-panel hoods and adjustable drawcords that allow you to secure the fit. This ensures that even during a breezy city commute, the hood remains stable and doesn't obstruct your peripheral vision. It provides the casual look of a sweatshirt with the considered engineering of our cycling jerseys, making it a practical choice for those who value both style and functionality on the bike.

Can I wear a hoodie as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket?

A sweatshirt can be a fantastic insulator for deep winter riding. Our hoodies are cut to sit comfortably over a base layer while remaining slim enough to fit under one of our men's cycling jackets. Because they are made from breathable organic cotton or Merino blends, they help trap a layer of warm air around your core. This modular approach allows you to transform your casual wear into part of a high-performance system, offering a versatile alternative to traditional men's cycling jerseys when the temperature drops.
