rapha jersey material

[vqdriver]

i have a country jersey which i really like but i wasn't expecting the fabric to be as heavy as it is. it's got a substantial feel to it, but is too warm for most of the year here in socal. i've also noticed that their classic jersey is the exact opposite, very thin and lightweight, what i would expect from a summer jersey. i suspect their super lightweight jersey is even, you know, lighter.

can someone chime in with how the club jersey fits in this scenario? hopefully it's somewhere in between. closest retailer is not exactly closeby so window shopping isn't my first option.

Club is heavy. Not good for >82d F.

We're not too far from the part of the year when questions like this draw envious thoughts from us in Northern climes. Beware snowballs ;) :fight:

+1, and with a quarter zip you can not get as much air flow. Also it is noticeably less slim fitting than the country or lightweight jerseys. I sized down to a small just to get a decent fit, when normally a medium is perfect in all of their other tops for me.

full zip is always a better fit. 1/4 zip has to get over the head and shoulders, hence a looser cut.
