Product Information

Full details

The Rapha Core Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey is designed for cyclists seeking warmth and comfort during everyday rides in cool conditions. Its key benefit is providing effective insulation and moisture management for training, commutes, and weekend adventures. A potential caveat is its specific temperature range, making it best suited for moderate cool weather rather than extreme cold. This jersey features brushed-back recycled fabric for warmth, raglan sleeves for mobility, and three rear pockets for storage.

FAQs

What temperature range is this jersey best suited for?

The Rapha Core Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey is ideal for cool to moderate temperatures, typically between 6–12°C (43–54°F).

How should I care for my jersey?

Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with similar colors, do not bleach, and do not tumble dry. Iron on low heat. Close zippers and fastenings before washing.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

While it provides warmth, for temperatures below 6°C (43°F), it's recommended to layer with a thermal base layer and potentially a windproof outer layer or vest for adequate protection.

What are the rear pockets designed for?

The three rear pockets are designed for stashing ride essentials such as tools, spare tubes, food, and a phone securely.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the jersey features stretchy side panels and a brushed-back fabric that offers some stretch for comfort and mobility in the riding position.

What makes the fit 'updated'?

The updated fit includes set-in sleeves and a refined collar, designed to improve comfort specifically when in a cycling riding position, alongside an updated hem gripper for a secure hold.

Is this jersey made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the jersey is built from recycled materials.

Troubleshooting

Jersey feels tight in the shoulders.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The raglan sleeve construction offers some flexibility, but incorrect sizing can restrict movement. Refer to the Rapha sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil can sometimes help ease friction.

Pockets feel saggy or items are not secure.

Ensure you are not overstuffing the pockets. Distribute weight evenly. The updated design and hem gripper should help maintain pocket integrity when loaded appropriately.

Fabric feels less warm than expected.

Verify the temperature range for which the jersey is designed (6–12°C / 43–54°F). For colder conditions, consider adding a thermal base layer underneath or a windproof vest/jacket over the jersey.
