At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything but we do try to look for weak points in any design.
This material does certainly compress your arms, providing just enough stretch for you to manoeuvre your way around the bike. Rapha also says the material is very quick drying and designed to be worn in temperatures north of 18°C. And many of the materials used in production are recycled. It isn't the most comfortable jersey I've ever worn – due to that aero fit – but for two-hour blasts down at Regents Park it was perfect. Rapha has seen fit to include three pockets and a bank card zipper, so it isn't quite a skin suit-level of impracticality either.
Overall, breathability was really good during the ride. I didn't feel like I was overheating at any point, but since I couldn't fit a base layer underneath I was keen to keep moving at all times. The body material is the same thickness as the long-sleeve Rapha jersey I have also been testing, but where that is aimed at year-round riding, this is strictly for warm weather.
Personally, £185 is too much for me to spend on a jersey that isn't that versatile. I love going fast, but it's a relatively small amount of my riding – though Rapha hasn't totally removed all the practical elements. This is about as fast as you're going to feel in a jersey, and that is not to be sniffed at.is also hot off the press and used by pro teams. It's light, compressive and so thin you'll need to wear sunscreen underneath.is worth looking at.
