Description

The Merino Windblock Sweatshirt features a front panel that adds a layer of protection while on the move without compromising off bike comfort and wearability. Made of a luxurious mid weight merino terry cloth with a brushed fleece back, the sweater is very soft and comfortable with natural sweat-wicking and odour-resistant properties built in and flat locked seams throughout to help reduce bulk. A zipped pocket on the rear is perfect for carrying everyday essentials while the classic armband adds a touch of signature Rapha styling.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not Fit For Purpose Almost perfect - Rapha finally gave the windblock layer a fleece backing, but the sleeve length & overall length is just way too short. Sleeves are at least an inch short of being able to actually use this on-bike. Same for the length of the tail - in an on-bike position it rides up and exposes your back. Given this was designed for "city riding", these are fatal flaws. Off-bike it's OK, but again, the sleeves are way too short. And if it's only good off-bike, there is no need for the crinkly nylon windblock layer.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from A little disappointed A little disappointing, I was looking for a ‘do it all’ top for a three day bike packing trip and this seems to tick all of the boxes. The front panel combined with merino should be perfect for an early autumn expedition but it didn’t quite deliver. The wicking wasn’t as effective as I had hoped and would normally experience with my now preferred other merino top as at the end of the day I felt damp and cold through the perspiration. It was otherwise comfortable and easy to slip on, a nice looking top that I will wear again but not as suitable for a bikepacking expedition as I had hoped.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My go to casual, cold weather top I love their merino tshirts for most of my rides, so I thought I'd try this piece for colder days. The fit is loose enough to look casual and the material does a great job of regulating heat while being thick enough to keep you warmer. The windblock front isn't too loud or conspicuous to keep you from wearing this on or off bike. I've worn it commuting, on casual gravel rides and even mtb rides when the cold necessitates. The pocket on the back is easy to reach and operate for small things. The one weird thing I noticed when it first arrived was how the collar was stitched and stood up by itself on the back of the neck, but I've never noticed it on all my rides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favorite piece of kit to date I love this shirt. I'm 5' 10" weigh around 190 and I got the XXL so I could have enough length on the back for when i'm on the bike. The fit is dead on for me. I'm not the slimmest guy with 6pack abs but this does a good job of being form fitting with being "too" fitting if you know what I mean. It keeps me warm in the low 40s by itself, and if its a bit colder I just throw a puffy coat over the top and we're golden. It's great on the bike, however it really thrives in cold windy environments. That or on a super chill ride where you're really never giving it the juice. Can get pretty warm pretty quick! Huge fan of the rear pocket!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Soft and Comfy but Noisy I love the shirt, it's warm, soft, cozy and looks good. I've never worn it on a bike, cause there's so much more expensive Rapha for that. My wife thinks the nylon front is for my habit of dripping ice cream on my chest while eating it. Can't argue that. I'd like it much better without the wind proof front. Better to slip on a gilet. The nylon is distractingly noisy throughout the day when I wear this. That is my only real complaint. No stealth with this shirt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Favorite sweatshirt. Super comfortable sweatshirt with a wind breaker front panel. Can’t wait for the temps to fall a little lower so this can get more use. Used it on a trip to colder weather and loved it. Plenty of warmth without bulk or overheating. I bought this one as a daily wear (off the bike) so I went up two sizes for a relaxed fit. I wear a medium in cycling gear from Rapha, but go to size XL for street wear. 170lbs and 5’11”. Large or medium would be good if you want to use it on the bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic piece of casual clothing I love this sweatshirt. Yes its a casual top but the cut and fit is such that it looks smart. Dressed down with a pair of jeans and trainers or dress it up with some chinos and nice shoes it works both ways. Its a fairly slim fitting top and needs to be worn next to the skin to benefit from the soft fleece lining. I ordered a small and i'm 172cm and 71KG. This is Rapha back to their best.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Wind block jersey Nice! Fits well, washes well, wind block front actually does a good job. Dropped a star as the rear pocket should be in the middle of the back instead of to the side as it feels weird to have a weighty phone hanging on one side…Rapha are not the only company to put a pocket on the side. It feels ‘unbalanced’.

Is the wind block panel fleece-backed as well?  In other words is the front panel merino + nylon panel or is the front *only* nylon as was the case in previous incarnations.

Asked by: mellowJohnny
It is the front panel + mid-weight merino terry cloth with a brushed fleece back.
