Why We Like The Rapha Core Long-Sleeve Jersey
Rapha's Core Long-Sleeve Jersey makes a strong argument to be a core component of our cycling wardrobe with clean lines, classic styling, and technical construction that holds up to long miles on cool-weather rides. Hefty polyester fibers feature a fleecy, brushed interior to keep us snug and warm on cool morning sprints and fall expeditions, all the while wicking away perspiration to keep us comfortable when our heart rate rises. Full-length raglan sleeves and side panels are cut for stability and shaped to fit the body just right in the cycling position. All the fabric and details are color matched to a T, including the ribbed collar and cuffs, concealed zipper pocket, and laser-cut rear gripper lined with silicone, keeping the 'fit on point and locked into place.

Weird fit especially on the arms

I love Rapha's Core line and I primarily always cycle with their Core Short Sleeve Jerseys since I think the quality, price, and style are top notch. I am 5'5" 145lbs and think their XS fist me like a glove. I was looking to get some long sleeve jerseys and thought I'd try the Core version since I love the short sleeve so much so I ordered a bunch and I found that the XS in the Long Sleeve was ever so slightly tighter in the midsection but more importantly the sleeve arms were insanely small and extremely long. Now, I am not the skinniest guy for my height but I do have pencils for arms and found my arms were so restricted it was uncomfortable. Additionally, I understand that you want a long sleeve cycling shirt or jacket to be slightly long on the arms since you want coverage when fully extended but even with my arms fully extended I had like 5"-6" of extra fabric. I would have loved for these LS to work but I think the better alternative is Gore Wear's C3 jersey which I took a XS in
