FAQs

What is the ideal temperature range for this jersey?

The jersey is recommended for mild to warm conditions, specifically between 18 to 32 degrees Celsius (64 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit).

Is this jersey suitable for racing?

While comfortable and versatile, the Core Jersey features a regular fit and is not designed for the same aerodynamic performance as Rapha's Pro Team race jerseys. It's ideal for everyday riding, training, and commuting.

How do I choose my size?

Rapha recommends choosing your normal size. The Core Jersey has a regular fit, which is less compressive than their Pro Team range.

Can I wear a base layer under this jersey?

Yes, the jersey is designed to be worn against the skin or layered over a base layer for added warmth or moisture management.

What makes the pockets 'revised'?

The pockets have been updated with a revised finish to provide extra security for the items you carry, reducing the chance of them falling out during rides.

What is the material of the jersey?

The jersey is made from 100% polyester, with 100% recycled yarns used for the 2024 iteration.

How should I wash the jersey?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low setting.

Troubleshooting

Jersey feels too warm

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers or consider using it in slightly cooler conditions (below 25°C) if seeking maximum ventilation.

Pockets feel insecure

Distribute weight evenly in the pockets. Ensure items are placed towards the center and bottom of the pockets. The revised pocket finish is designed for improved security, but overstuffing may still cause items to shift.

Collar is rubbing

Ensure the jersey is correctly sized. The lightweight shaped collar is designed to reduce irritation; check for any potential snags or external factors causing friction.
