Rapha Pro fit or Regular fit — what’s the difference?

Pro fit: Applies to Pro Team, Shadow and Souplesse. Sits close to the skin with high-stretch fabric that hugs the body for a locked-in, aerodynamic feel. Snug off the bike, and made to feel right in an aggressive riding position. Regular fit: Applies to Classic, Brevet and Core. A close but relaxed fit, cut a little longer in the torso, and made for comfort over longer rides, everyday use and easy layering. Rapha uses the same size chart for both.

How should I wash Rapha cycling clothing?

Rapha’s care labels for most of its cycling clothing: machine wash at 30 °C with similar colours, and don’t bleach, iron or dry clean. Follow the care label on your garment — some pieces (waterproofs, merino) have their own instructions.

Rapha sizes by body measurements. Pro fit is cut close to the skin; Regular fit is close but relaxed. If you’re between sizes, Rapha’s size guide helps you choose.

How to measure

Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms. Waist: around your natural waistline. Hips: around the fullest part. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
