Why We Like The Rapha Core Gilet Vest
Pedaling head-first into the wind is hard enough on our legs—give your core a break from the breeze with the Rapha Core Gilet Vest. This windbreaker-style gilet keeps moving air of the core for better heat retention and improved on-bike comfort. Reflective details keep us visible to passing cars. And when the wind dies down, the light and packable fabric is easy to stash in our jersey's pocket.

Good Vest, Bad Zipper
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- L
- Height:
- 5' 10"
- Weight:
- 178
I usually ride in cool weather (50F) temps with a vest. I thought I'd give Rapha a go because of their styling is always spot on. I liked the fabric and fit for me (I'm 5'10", 178 lbs, and a 40R jacket). Their size L works for me well. I wore this vest a total of six times and had a couple minor zipper issues, until the seventh time I went to suit up, and the zipper gave out. I know that this is a highly common issue with vests, and for that matter I'm always aware of being very gentle with starting to zip up, but still the zipper easily crossed zipped while putting it on and self destructed right into the trash bin.

Rapha gilet
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- XL
- Height:
- 5' 11"
- Weight:
- 175
Seems like a nice gilet. Unfortunately, their sizing chart must be off. I wear XL in Castelli, Gio, etc. even though i am a std mens L and this XL (based on their chart) was very tight across the chest and uncomfortable tight underneath the arms. Nice and packable. Very lite windbreaker style. Would have been great to try a ride with this one, but it has to go back
