Essential piece of kit
This is a great piece of kit. It’s nice on and off the bike. Very soft , very comfy. It does the job.

Comfortable sweatshirt
Overall I am pleased with this sweatshirt, but with some reservations. Though the neck fits well, it stretches very little and pulling it over my noggin requires some guidance. The garment is designed to block wind (which it does modestly) and that means cooler weather, but ironically the color is exactly the color of half the leaves in fall- I don't exactly feel visible to traffic. That said, it's an awesome beech leaf color.

Versatile cycle top ideal for chilly rides.
This Merino Windblock Sweatshirt is the best top I have for casual and gravel cycling. It regulates my body temperature very effectively. When I'm cool climbing, I think I'm going to be cold descending, and yet the material efficiently traps the warmth and keeps my body temperature fairly constant. The windbreaker front helps with this brilliantly and is a welcome design feature. It breaths sufficiently that I don't overheat on the climbs again. The fit is great for casual cycling when I'm riding my urban commute bike, but the back is a little short when bent double on the gravel bike. In this position I'd prefer slightly longer arms too. But these really are minor niggles. Although this top ticks a number of boxes, I think it really shines when the air temperature varies quite a lot such as in the mid-season and when you want a versitile top for bike packing/touring. I like the colours too.

The item you didn’t know you needed
The sweater is a perfect balance of a high quality wool sweater and a soft wind block. I didn’t understand how this would fit in my Rapha gear but it’s now a go to item in and off the bike.
Pro - super comfortable, breathable and can be layered
Con - too bulky to pack away
I would buy this again

Love this shirt
Touchable soft. Windbreak perfect on a cool morning ride. Just had a friend introduce me to merino wool. Very comfy, great temp regulation. The thin windbreak layer on the front of this helps keep your core warm, but allows sweet to evaporate off of your back. High quality fabrics and construction.

Can't go wrong with this one
Soft and warm on chilled mornings this top is brilliant with it's wind blocking panels. Zipped pocket is ideal for bank card or small set of keys but that's it. Washed well with no fading or shrinking. I'm 6ft and wide, it fits true to size.

Excellent
An excellent piece of kit. Bought a small as it was on offer and although I normally wear a medium it fits snugly in a good way. I wear it either next to the skin or over a thin base layer. Highly recommended and a piece of go-to clothing.

Perfect fit
This jumper fits perfectly my upper body dimensions. Perfect under a light wind proof jacket or a winter shell. I like wearing little bit informal and loose outfits than tight ones when riding my Allroad steed. This jumper it’s a Must !

Cut the Chill
Really comfortable to wear next to skin and the windblocker is extremely effective at stopping even strong winds getting through. Selective use of the windblocker fabric means that I had no build up of perspiration. Very satisfied.

Practical & Stylish
This is now my go-to casual jersey when there's a chill in the air... lighter and more stylish than a baggy hoodie and a top quality garment - I've also been sked on many occasions where did i get it from!

Very soft, breathable and sufficiently warm.
The merinon blend makes it very soft and keeps you warm even though you swet. The windblock works wonders. Relaxed fit, which I was after. Go down one size if you like it more tight.

Versitile knit
Great knit and happy with the high merino content and gsm, versitile enough to wear daily but also for outdoor activites such as hiking/skiing as a base. Looks pretty cool too.

VERY disappointed in Rapha in this product.
This shirt is absolutely the worst thing I've every gotten from Rapha. It's poorly conceived and looks tacky. I would be embarrassed to wear this anywhere. Do not buy it.

Cool sweater and light on your body
Lighter and agile kind of sweathshirt. Love the quality and materials. It does block the wind from your chest. Best temp use by itself lower 50's. With a liner lower 40's.

Excellent sweatshirt.
I love this sweat shirt. I can wear it over thermal longsleeve and under a shell and be comfortable on a rides in -5 celsius. Looks good as a casual sweatshirt too.

Solid Rapha quality
Warm sweatshirt ideal for using on and off the bike. Nice amount of movement available although as you would expect the windblock does not stretch.

Staple Peice
Great staple sweatshirt on and off the bike. I wear it with jeans and a dress shirt, on cool, summer nights with shorts, and also post work out.

Great I think! 👍
Unfortunately I can’t pin my son down long enough to write a review but if it’s of any use he’s never had this windblocker off his back! 👍😊

2 incompatible textures
the 2 different textures of the wool and the windbreaking material feels awkward. I gave it away. The color (red) was perfect

Great fit and feel
The fit and feel are as good as I’d hoped. I’ll use it as a casual sweatshirt - maybe some urban riding.

Sweet but a bit noisier than expected
Front panel is built from windstopper material which is nice but noisy. Quite useful for skiing btw
