Pro Team Cycling Clothing
Elite-level racewear for maximum speed. Our most advanced technical fabrics, developed with the world's fastest professional riders.
How do I choose the right cycling jersey for my riding style?
This depends on your performance goals and the conditions you ride in. For high-intensity training and racing, our Pro Team range offers an aerodynamic, second-skin fit with moisture-wicking fabrics. If you prefer long-distance adventures, the Brevet collection provides additional storage and visibility. For those seeking iconic style and all-day comfort, our Classic jerseys use a luxury merino-blend fabric. Each jersey is engineered with technical features like silicone hem grippers and reinforced rear pockets to ensure you stay comfortable and focused on the road ahead.
What is the difference between a Race Fit and a Classic Fit?
Our short sleeve cycling jerseys come in various cuts to suit different preferences. A Race Fit, found in our Pro Team aero jerseys, is highly compressive and optimised for an aggressive, "on-the-drops" position to minimise drag. This ensures no excess fabric flaps in the wind. Conversely, the Classic Fit offers a more relaxed, breathable silhouette that is flattering for all-day touring or club rides. While both styles use premium technical fabrics, we recommend sizing up in Pro Team kit if you prefer a slightly less restrictive feel during your ride.
Are Rapha cycling jerseys suitable for hot weather and summer riding?
Yes, we offer specialised men's cycling jerseys designed specifically for high-tempo riding in humid conditions and extreme heat. Our Flyweight and Pro Team Training jerseys utilise open-structured fabrics on the front panels to maximise airflow and accelerate sweat evaporation. These breathable cycling tops also feature a denser knit on the back to provide essential UV protection. For the hottest days, look for jerseys with integrated mesh side panels and low-profile collars, which help regulate your core body temperature and keep you dry when the mercury rises.
How should a professional cycling jersey fit?
A high-performance road cycling jersey should fit snugly against the skin to maximise the efficiency of its moisture-wicking properties. Our jerseys are cut shorter at the front to prevent the fabric from bunching while you are leaned over the handlebars, and longer at the back to keep your jersey in place. For the most aerodynamic advantage, the sleeves should sit flush against the arms. We provide a comprehensive size guide on each product page; however, if you find yourself between sizes, we generally suggest choosing the larger option for a more versatile fit.
How do I care for my technical cycling apparel to ensure it lasts?
To maintain the performance and longevity of your kit, always follow the specific care instructions on the garment label. We recommend machine washing your jerseys on a cool, gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the fibres of technical fabrics and reduce their breathability. Always zip up your jerseys before washing to prevent the teeth from snagging other items, and never tumble dry. Instead, hang your kit to air dry, allowing the quick-drying materials to refresh naturally for your next outing.
