Rapha Women´s Core Gilet: Your Essential Shield Against the Elements

Experience unparalleled versatility and protection with the Rapha Women´s Core Gilet. An indispensable outer layer for any cyclist, this vest is meticulously engineered to provide essential core warmth and a barrier against wind and light showers. Its lightweight and highly compressible design means it´s the perfect companion for rides with unpredictable weather or chilly descents, easily stowing away in a jersey pocket when the sun comes out. Designed specifically for a woman´s form, it offers a streamlined silhouette without compromising on comfort or performance, making it the go-to choice for everything from daily commutes to long weekend adventures.

Never get caught out by a sudden change in conditions again. The Core Gilet´s defining feature is its exceptional packability. As a truly compressible garment, it packs down incredibly small, taking up minimal space in your rear pocket. This means you can carry essential protection on every single ride, ready to deploy at a moment´s notice before a long, fast descent or when the wind picks up. Functionality on the move is paramount, which is why the gilet features a smart two-way zipper. This signature detail enhances its practicality, allowing you to zip up from the bottom to easily access your jersey pockets for nutrition or to increase airflow and regulate your temperature on a tough climb, all without having to fully open the vest.

Achieve the perfect on-bike fit. This women´s-specific gilet is tailored to follow the contours of your body in a riding position. Thanks to integrated stretch side panels, it provides a secure yet comfortable fit that eliminates flapping in the wind and allows for complete freedom of movement. The carefully fitted armholes ensure there are no gaps for cold air to enter, keeping your core protected. Rider safety is a priority, and the Core Gilet incorporates subtle yet effective reflective accents. These details are strategically placed to enhance your visibility to others on the road during early morning starts, late evening finishes, or overcast days.
