Item # RFA006HFor the long days in the saddle.
Inspired by the Paris-Brest-Paris Randonnee, the Rapha Women's Brevet Long-Sleeve Jersey is the ideal candidate for long endurance rides. The jersey's merino wool and polyester composition is both lightweight and breathable to accommodate intense ascents and rising temperatures, and to repel odors that can infiltrate the fabric after a long day spent sweating it out in the saddle. Soft grippers on the hem prevent the jersey from riding up your back, while reflective chest stripes enhance your visibility in low-light conditions.

- Merino blend wicks sweat, breathes well, and regulates temp
- Form-fitting design keeps performance fibers close to skin
- Side panels add ventilation and mobility
- Reflective stripes increase visibility
- Rear cargo pockets stretch for extra storage

Great style but description incorrect
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Small
I ordered this in Navy and already had a hi-viz pink. The pink is really hi-viz! I have two now because I like the jersey a lot. It fits well and the long pocket in back holds a jacket nicely. I've worn it in upper 40s with a base layer and was very comfortable.
However, the CC description is incorrect. It is a relaxed fit, has three open pockets plus one side zip and one long zip above the other pockets to hold extra clothing.
Almost perfect, super high quality
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got this (in a no longer available blue) a couple of years ago. It has served me well, for exactly the purpose I got it for - shoulder season riding. The wool keeps you warm when you need it, but doesn't make you overheat once you warm up. The fit and quality of the jacket are stellar - worth every dollar - although the jacket - like many bike tops for this tall gal - is a tad short. I sized up, too, and even that did not help, although then I could fit a light layer underneath and the arms were long enough. It is so stylish that I also wear it as a non-biking jacket (the back pockets aren't clunky so this is not weird).
how tall are you and what size did you order? I have sleeve length issues too. I am 5'10', slim build. I ordered a Large. I found a lot of European brands run small.
