Rapha's guide to summer riding - Men's

25 May 2019

Whether you’re cultivating tan lines while enjoying a gelato, leaning to the extreme in a criterium or embarking on an intrepid multi-day bike-packing trip, here’s our recommended outfit for riding in summer, from top to toe.

THE SUMMER OUTFIT

Whether you’re cultivating tan lines while enjoying a gelato or leaning to the extreme in a criterium, here’s our recommended outfit for riding in summer, from top to toe.

Eyes up

Bright sun casts deep shadows. Polarised lenses make it easier to see between areas of light and shade, and glasses protect your eyes at speed from dry, dusty roads.

Shop eyewear

LIGHTEN UP

Super light Flyweight jerseys and bib shorts keep you cool on the hottest days, wicking quickly to keep you cool and dry as you make the most of the better weather.

Shop Jerseys

CAST A SHADOW

Antibacterial tape in our Pro Team and Lightweight caps stop sweat getting in your eyes, wicking and drying quickly, and the peak protects you from the sun’s glare.
