Light weight but warm
Having pushed back on Rapha kit for several years now I finally got persuaded by a couple of items that were slightly reduced. This insulated gilet is one of them. Never regretted the purchase: this is a great piece of kit. Took it out yesterday in blustering, easterly wind = cold. More than did its job. The material is sleek, fit is tight. And how practical is the double zip? You can open the bottom one to access the pockets on the rear of your jerse! Fab.

Warm but not too warm
This is the first gilet I’ve bought and worn so it is difficult for me to compare. However I thought I would be taking the gilet off and on but this wasn’t the case. This gilet really keeps my core warm without overheating me when I’m warmed up.
I went for the bright yellow colour which is great for the dark winter days in the UK.

Great fit & concept but has the dreaded wind flap
As expected this is a great color, fit & fabric. The insulated gilet fills a nice gap with it being a warmer gilet. Other great details are the extra long tail for coverage and outer pockets for storing items. But alas, it has the dreaded wind flap on the shoulder when decending. Have to really play around with my position to find the sweet spot to eliminate the sound when I really should have been focusing on the descent itself.

Fit, materials, and features are perfect
I've worn this vest every ride since receiving it. The double zipper, top and bottom, make it comfortable in any ride position and the rear pockets make it extremely useful in cool weather. The materials are very high quality and it somehow looks clean all the time, even after rain. It packs up into a normal jersey pocket when not needed. I wear a medium in Rapha Pro Race and this fit perfect in medium. 5'11/138lbs.

Nice but tight!
This is an interesting product as it's obviously a very warm gilet but designed to fit over an aero top. It's too tight for a long sleeve spring/autumn top, and there isn't much give in it. Hence it has a very particular usage, and best suited to 1) riding out to cool time trials at 7am in the morning, or 2) alpine climbs where you don't want to be carrying much on the way up but need warmth on the way down.

Great fit and warmth...
Worn this vest several times over the TX winter. Fits well and keeps me warm in various temps. Only complaint is the odd double zipper. Raphael, this isn’t a long ski coat.

Perfect for windy cool weather
Very well made product that is super light and small.definitely fits in back pocket of jersey.I live in Southern California and use this in tempatures ranging from 35°-65° and it keeps my body just at the right temperature.I’m 5,6 and weight 149lb or 67kg and ordered Medium.it fits almost perfect but in some cases where it’s very windy it might flap a couple times near the shoulder.

Great piece of kit, just be careful with sizing
I normally wear a Large in the Pro kit. The large fitted OK when trying on while standing but was too tight for prolonged wear on the bike. Purchased an XL and the fit is good but a bit flappy on the shoulders when on the drops. Great insulation. Worn it around freezing with a long sleeve jersey and my body stays nice and warm. Pockets good size and readily accessible while riding.

Great features
I've been wearing this gilet over a long sleeve Pro Team baselayer and merino jersey in low single figure temperatures. It provides ample warmth whilst being form fitting with no flapping around the shoulders. I like the two way zip which counters any over-heating on climbs. Looks good in the dark navy and I can see this gilet coming in handy right through spring and
autumn.

Super quality and material but sized not for me
Bought it is my current M size I used normally and it was super small, move it to L and it was also not good.
This is a super product, well built and hyper technical but seems that the pro series are build for super fit riders. I am 1m80 tall and 74kg, and use M size for brevet and core. Sad news for me, as i was thinking moving to the pro series. I send it back.

Very happy
Everyone I ride with has one of these or the insulated brevet gilets. I prefer the racier aesthetics and fit of the pro team so went for that. I am 187cm tall and 84kgs and went with the large, its the perfect fit with room for me to lose a few more kgs. Keeps me warm, all the pockets are in the right places, it is just right. Great Rapha kit as always.

Favorite piece of fall/winter kit
Perfect piece of kit for me. I prefer a gilet over a long jersey jacket, because of versatility. It keeps me warm without overheating, is very light, snug but no too snug for layering, windproof and a great fit. Wore it on a 100km ride at 5 deg Celsius with merino base layer, armwarmers and a SS jersey, and was very comfortable. Happy with the purchase!

Runs super small
I have two other vest, non insulated, and I got a large in them and this one runs like a XXS in a Large?? Totally weird. I wanted a vest that I can wear with two thin layers and be fine which I believe this would do if it didn't run XXS. I would size up or two if you purchase this but overall I see it keeping you warm with the insulation.

Just superb!
Another excellent garment from Rapha. I already have been using Pro Team insulated jacket and this gilet just works superbly. Insulation is warm enough that even during pretty colder rides I only wear short sleeve base layer Pro Team Aero Jersey and Pro Team Insulates Gilet. Well made, stylish and very practical. Love it!

keep the chest area warm and cozy and great ventil
I bought it a month ago and today I got the chance to use it for the first time. overal kept me warm and cozy specially around chest area the only issue I had was i wish they use more elastic around armholes in order to keep the hole tight. right now when i go on drop on 20mph and up wind goes inside and creat a big drag

Great product
This gilet is great on those crispy mornings and packs down nicely into a jersey pocket when it heats up on the hills. I use this one when it’s fresh and the non insulted version just to keep the wind off. Another great product it from Rapha. They just need to improve their women’s range and it’s limited.

Stylish and functional
A very sleek and functional vest. I'm 6'2 180lbs and given the pro-style fit, ended up going with the XL. I recommend ordering your size as well as a size up to test the fit. I've yet to experience rain while wearing this, but I can already tell it's a great shield against the wind—and it looks great!

As warm and versatile as promised
Price put me off initially but I can now say that this is must have piece of kit. Amazingly warm and can pack down into a pocket if you need. But the 2 way zip means you can easily regulate temperature. Good down to single digits Celsius with just a base layer and jersey and I don't handle cold well.

Good fit and perfect for cold days
I bought this gilet last month, and my first impression was that I get what I was looking for. Pro fit and good quality, ideal for Netherlands windy days and temperatures between 0 and 10 degrees. I use the gilet with a base layer and the Rapha Training Jacket, and the Small size fits well.

XXL fit like a SM
Online store did not give good info on sizing. Although I am not that bid a size XXL was too small for me.

Great Vest!
Great vest! Probably not the best for really warm weather as it is insulated.. but as it is only insulated on the front (and not on the back) it is not overly warm. I use it regularly and am very happy with it. Great pockets with easy access. Great fit. Great for the cold/windy descents!

Nice fit. Warm. Little bit flappy.
Frustratingly, I lost an insulated gilet, so I went with this because it’s a race fit and had pockets on the back, packs small and reversible zip. Everything works as described, works well and warm to about zero. With the right wind direction, it gets a bit flappy behind the shoulders.

Genius kit
I was initially unsure about this item, but it is just genius. Really high quality and so useful on cold days. Handing for riding and stops as it folds us small. Really light for the warm. Shrugs off muck and washes well. Great item. Pro range so went up a size on normal Rapha sizing

Worth it
This Gilet is awesome. It’s the first one i’ve ever purchased, but works exactly as I hoped. Pricey, but is an amazing extra layer and I’ve used it more than I thought I would already. Size L fits great (6’1” 85kg) a bit tight at my current weight, but that’s on me. Packs away easy.

Great winter accessory
Very happy with this gilet. It is warm, comfortable and has a great design. The green version combines perfectly with my burned orange LS merino jersey.
Fit is good, although a little wide at the neck. Consider sizing up one size compared to your normal SS size; it works for me.
