Rapha Core Shortsleeve Jersey - Black

The Core Shortsleeve Jersey is designed for everyday cycling, including training, riding, and commuting. It prioritizes comfort and performance for regular use.

The Core Jersey features a regular fit that is less compressive and not as close-fitting as the Pro Team products. The Pro Team line is designed for racing and prioritizes aerodynamics and a more aggressive fit.

This jersey is recommended for mild to hot conditions (18-32°C / 64-90°F). For colder weather, you would need to layer a base layer and a jacket over it, or choose a specific winter cycling jersey.

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softener. Hang dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid ironing.

Yes, the updated fabric for 2024 is made from 100% recycled yarns, making it a more sustainable choice.

The jersey has a regular fit, designed to accommodate a range of body types comfortably. It is less compressive than Rapha's Pro Team range. We recommend choosing your normal size.

The jersey features Rapha's signature three rear pockets, designed for easy access to essentials like gels, a phone, or a lightweight jacket.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Core Jersey has a regular fit, which is less compressive than Pro Team models. If it feels too tight, consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel, or check the size guide for precise measurements.

While the jersey offers excellent breathability, extreme heat (above 32°C/90°F) might push its limits. For very hot conditions, consider wearing it without a base layer or ensure you are well-hydrated. For hotter rides, Rapha's other collections may offer more advanced ventilation.

The jersey features strategically placed shoulder seams and a new lightweight collar to minimize irritation. Ensure the jersey is zipped correctly and try adjusting its position slightly. Washing the jersey before first use can also soften the fabric.
