Summary:
Yea, I know pretty steep price tag for a jersey...it does come with arm warmers. After using the Rapha sportwool jersey I rarely ever use my petroleum by-product based jerseys (only when my Rapha jersey is in the laundry). The Rapha sportwool is hands down the best temperature regulating jersey you will ever wear. It is comfortably cool in the heat and keeps you warm when its cool. There is never any unwanted clamminess when wearing this jersey. It seems to move all sweat and moisture to the outside surface where it evaporates quickly. The finish is soft and supple. The design is timeless (black or white) with sublimated logo (you arent a free advertisment for Rapha when wearing this piece). Besides pure comfort this jersey never becomes smelly, as many of the synthetics materials tend to do. Hands down this is this is the best jersy money can buy.
