Rated 4 out of 5 by from it's nice but pricey for what it is. A simple but essential piece of cycling kit. Really nice material and a high quality zip that opens from top and bottom. Given there are no pockets the bottom opening zip is essential if you want easy access to pockets.There is no doubt this is a stylish piece of kit, and good value compared to the adventure range etc but it is expensive for something that must cost next to nothing to make. The fabric isn't overy technical and no insulation, waterproofing...it's nice but pricey for what it is. I'm 190cm and 78kg and large is a tight fit. Please don't compare sizes with the other gilet ranges as they just don't match.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than the prior generation Better than the prior generation for sure. Same weight and materials. But one thing with the prior vest was the collar was much too loose for my liking. Worked well if you had a neck gaiter on but otherwise way too loose. This neck is much more fitted. They updated the arm cuffs, and they do flap less, but they're not perfect. I think Assos products sit better. Still though, excellent vest and I recommend to others. For reference I weigh 152lbs, 6 foot, and wear size medium. Neck size is 15.5 dress shirt. I wear all pro team items, medium in all. I live in SF and ride in early morning, around 50F. So this and the long sleeve thermal (best Rapha piece IMO) is my go to. Get it, these sell out quick

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A favorite My favorite noninsulated Rapha gilet. I find the fit, function, and fashion (the 3 f's?) of this gilet to all be well done. Good color selection as well. Packs easily in a jersey pocket and with the two way zipper I don't miss the pockets at all. Speaking of pockets I think this gilet does a good job of fitting comfortable over full jersey pockets and still providing coverage. Other gilets tend to either be tight with full pockets or are too big and flap to make room. The use of flexible materials and a good cut help this gilet fit as it should comfortably but without flapping in the wind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An essential piece of cycling kit Great gilet for slightly chilly days. It keeps me warm without overheating. Cool morning starts, fast descends, windy days. Very flexible and useful in many conditions depending how you combine it with other layers. I wear mine in fall and spring over summer jerseys and in winter over winter jerseys. Two direction zipper makes access to jersey pockets easier. It packs small to be carried easily. I am 1m85 / 80kg and size L fits perfect to me. An essential piece of cycling kit

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Unusual Updates on a Rapha Classic A history lesson on the PT Gilet. The PT lightweight gilet is a bit of a classic at this point, I have used the first two extensively and the new one since it’s release. The original single zipped version is the best in my opinion, it’s super simple and I have used mine for 5 or so fault free years. It doesn’t need a double zip as you can pull it up easily to access your pockets. The simplest things are often the best... The second version has the same fit as the OG and would be perfect if the double zip didn’t rip bibs and if the lazer cut design at the neck didn’t delaminate and jam the zip up. The third version could have been perfect if it was just an evolution of the second, but it’s not and has some weird changes. The fit in the neck and shoulders is great, the lower body probably has the same cut but feels restrictive as the lower hem is deeper and less stretchy. The deeper lower hem also doesn’t sit below full jersey pockets on some same size Pro Team jerseys which is an odd design oversight. The placket and lower hem are extended to protect bibs, but the placket is formless and gets in the way when you are trying to zip it up which is super frustrating with cold hands or when descending. The lower zip also doesn't lock on mine at least and requires constant readjustment. On the whole this isn’t an improvement on the previous version and isn’t nearly as good as the first. It’s a missed opportunity for a perfect product in this Rapha nerd’s opinion. For reference i’m 6ft and 72kg, I wear a small in all PT garments

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Flappy Unlike any other cycling jersey/gilet/jacket I've ever owned the material behind the shoulders is cut kind of loose. Trying it on feels fine, when the speed goes above 25kmh it buzzes and flaps. Kind of annoying for what is not a cheap item. Maybe they thought everyone rides round in an extreme tuck or something. The double zip is a nice idea but makes it harder to zip back up if you unzip on a warm climb.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great vest but poor zipper quality. The vest is great. Fits great, mesh back makes it super breathable and isolate well from the wind. BUT within a month both of the plastic thingy on the two zippers broke while zipping up the which makes it pretty hard to zipp up now…

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice improvement on the front, rear needs a change The new iteration of the lightweight gilet fits better on the front, however, the thick rear gripper adds bulk and is relatively rigid in comparison to the rest of the gilet. This accentuates 2 things, the first is the size it packs down to and the second, is the gripper (depending on where it sits on your back) may not sit flush/contour to your body hence protruding like a mud flap instead

I wear a xl in the core and fits nice would you suggest xxl in this?

Asked by: Andy180
In general I would recommend to stay with the same size (XL). XXL will have a comfortable fit but flap around more.
