THE MERINO MIRACLE
In 2004 we launched the original Classic Jersey, the first of its kind to be made using merino wool. Its combination of luxurious comfort, understated style and outstanding technical performance led Bicycling magazine editor Bill Strickland to call it “the best bike jersey the world has ever seen.” Since then, riders around the world have become converts of the ‘merino miracle’. Supremely soft, naturally antibacterial and sweat-wicking, merino possesses the ideal properties for a cycling jersey.
In 2016 we improved this already iconic product by developing a new proprietary merino-based fabric, RPM150 (Rapha Performance Merino – the 150 indicating grams per square metre) for the Classic Jersey II. RPM150 is lighter, softer, more breathable and adapts to a huge range of conditions. Helping your body breathe in hot conditions and insulating when the temperature drops, we believe it to be the most versatile cycling fabric in the world.
