What is the weight of the merino? Hi, the weight of the merino used in this sweatshirt is 230 g/m2. I normally wear size M in your jerseys. What size should I choose for the sweatshirt? Hi, we would recommend you choose the same size in the Merino Sweatshirt. However, this item is made for city riding and off the bike wear so it is cut more generously. If you would like a slim cut, you may wish to size down one size. As always we do have a free 90 day returns policy if needed. Just received merino sweatshirt. Ordered a L because that's what I wear in Rapha jerseys, base layers. But it seems a size bigger. extra material around waist. Are sizes supposed to be comparable to jerseys, etc? How much smaller is M? Hi, the Merino Sweatshirt is a casual item and does come up slightly larger than our jerseys and base layers. Some people do find a size down in this item provides a better fit. heya...where is this garment made? Hi, this garment is made in China. Hey Rapha, I was wondering if the fit of this sweatshirt is the same as the previous sweatshirt (now I own a size S green version)?  Kind regards, Filip

What happens if you put it in the drier? Any idea how much it will shrink?The Merino wool used on the sweatshirt is a fine grade and as such will not tolerate tumble drying. The care label does advise washing at no more than 30 degrees and not to tumble dry. The sweatshirt will shrink considerably if these instructions are not adhered to.Pocket 100Pocket ButtonFit ButtonChest PocketPoint ChestFlat YokeCotton Cold100 CottonCheck SlimForwardSuper soft Japanese flannel in classic red/black buffalo check. lbc hoodiesSlim fit button-down oxford with five-point chest pocket. bmg hoodieButton down collar with locker loop and button at back collar. jual hoodie zaloraFlat yoke with triple-stitch detail and signature white rivet at pocket. 100% cotton Cold wash, hang to dryFree shipping on all orders over Kr1000

Free 90-day returns and exchanges YOUR BASKET IS EMPTY Your wish list is emptyThis dark purple Merino Henley from Vulpine is ready to go anywhere. It’s comfortable, and you can dress it up or down during the day, then throw on bike shorts and ride off after work. Since it’s Merino wool, it doesn’t get smelly when you get a little sweaty, and no one will ever guess it’s cycling apparel.—Molly Hurford Clubride New West Jersey The Clubride New West jersey looks and feels more like a shirt than a cycling jersey. Style points were awarded on the following merits: (1) Plaid never goes out of fashion, (2) it uses snaps instead of buttons (for a change), (3) front left and right rear zippered pockets add functionality, and (4), the black side and shoulder panels complement any hair style, be it a mullet or "high and tight.” On the tech­y side of things, it’s made with an SPF 30 quick-­drying fabric and has underarm and side-­panel mesh venting, as well as a ­zippered rear storage pocket.—Greg Kaplan

Giro Women’s Wind Guard Hoodie Part of Giro’s New Road collection, the Wind Guard Hoodie kills it. It’s cozy on the bike, especially when commuting around town on windy early spring days, and it’s a great fit for off­-bike hangouts as well. Partially because of the Wind-Guard fabric on the front, and partially because of the slightly tweedy pattern, it looks a little more stylish than your average hoodie, so it works great in most casual offices.—Molly Hurford Performance Bicycle CHCB VC Shorts These shorts are designed to be worn over bike shorts for the people who don’t love how lycra looks. But they also work as excellent summer shorts for a normal day, and the slightly high-rise back is great for playing in the park with friends without fear of—let’s be honest—your butt hanging out. They’re ultra­stretchy, which makes them great active­wear off the bike; the pockets are designed to keep your phone safe while pedaling; and there’s a secret zippered pocket that’s useful for stashing money, ID or credit cards when you're running around town—no purse needed.—Molly Hurford

Price: $100 (but almost always on sale!) Giro Women’s Wind Bomber Though this lightweight offering from Giro is great for casual bike rides around town, it's also found its way into my regular wardrobe rotation. I wear it instead of a cardigan or a hoodie when I want to look casual but put together. The fabric is so papery thin that it folds up to almost nothing to fit in a corner of my bag—which makes it a great take­along for a day in the city or just out and about. The front pockets are roomy enough for my phone, wallet, and keys on days I don't want to carry a bag. Bonus: I get tons of compliments every time I wear it. On the road, the jacket is designed to be wind­blocking and lightweight, and incredibly packable: meaning you can jam it into your jersey pocket if the wind dies down.—Leah Flickinger Rapha Women's Lightweight Bomber Jacket This is another jacket I find myself wearing to work and for regular life more than on the bike. The fabric is a little heavier than the Giro bomber (better for cooler days), and it has a slightly more substantial look.
