The first and most noticeable thing about this latest jersey from Rapha, is the design print, supposedly this has been inspired by the “dynamic visuals of the Rapha Rides campaign”. For me it looks like it has been inspired by the pattern on our local park and ride bus seats. It is clear to say that I am not a fan of the pattern but hey, even Rapha can’t get it right 100% of the time. Aesthetics aside, what really counts is how this jersey performs. It has been designed for training and racing in warm to hot conditions, it is constructed from 86% Polyester and 14% Elastane, the front of the jersey is a perforated 120gsm fabric to keep the top breathable and to help keep you cool. Around the back the material is a stretchy polyester fabric to provide a snug fit and protect you from the sun’s rays. In fact all the fabrics have a SPF40 sun protection treatment.

The Pro Team features bonded hems, folded-in sleeves and fewer seams all over, it is suitable for in-the-drops, on-bike position, and it has plastic VISLON zip that seamlessly glide up and down with one hand. The material is high wicking so you stay cool and comfortable even on the hardest of rides and the anti-bacterial treatment means you can confidently hug your fans at the finish line without stinking (well not too much). This Jersey is super lightweight at only 120g (in medium size), and its silky-smooth texture means that if I shut my eyes I could be fooled into thinking I wasn’t wearing anything at all, thankfully for everyone else around, I was! For storage there are triple rear pockets with smart gussets for extra storage, there is mesh fabric underneath the pockets for breathability and for extra visibility there is reflective piping on rear pocket. As with all Rapha Jerseys, if you lose weight within a year of buying a Jersey Rapha will give you 50% off getting a new size and they will also offer a free repair service in the event of a crash damaging a garment (check the website for full details of both these offers). Ignoring the 80’s style pattern, this Pro Team Jersey is everything we love about Rapha, ultra-lightweight, super comfortable with a figure hugging fit that, even on those hot summer days, allows you to perform at your best.
