If you compare today’s jerseys to vintage jersey from like the 70s, you might think, “damn the old jerseys are so long”. Then when you put on a contemporary like Rapha jersey, you might feel is better, till you try to use the rear pockets. You have dislocate your arm to get anything in the pockets and break your arm to access the middle pocket. Try to unzip the secure pocket. It’s not easy.
My favorite are the "classic flyweight"(which they barely make anymore) and the "pro-team flyweight" which is discontinued and replaced by a cheaper product named "light weight"...
Is it me or does the Core stuff actually look a lot better and you get a zipped pocket for that credit card... Kinda funny when you said 8:36 "stand out from the crowd" are you sure? 🤣 Because everyone is a Rapha rider these days.
I don’t mind the core jerseys - plain and functional. Agree, there’s a lot of rapha kit out there these days. I’m always in the lookout for something else, but not found another brand that hooks me yet.
Thumbs up for putting them on! Very helpful for potential buyers like me!
No worries. Hope it was useful. The one tip I don’t think I mentioned - wait for the Rapha sale to buy 🤣

Agree. My go to is also the classic flyweight. Pro team I’m not as convinced by the fit
Rapha recently destroyed their "brevet" line with a new cheaper version...no front pocket and cheaper material on the brevet now
Think I had one brevet top a few years back but didn’t get on with the thicker material
Ditched all my Rapha kit
For what ? I keep looking for another brand but can’t quite find the right one … yet 👍
What did you switch to? I'm currently running the PMCC line.
I’m still looking. I keep getting adverts for Pedal Mafia but … I just don’t like the branding for some reason. Will keep looking 👓

I bought a Castelli jersey and the zipper is really so much better than Rapha core jersey. It’s a bigger plastic zipper and so smooth. Love it 😍.
