The Souplesse range is for female riders who demand top-level functionality without compromising on sophisticated looks, and the Souplesse Jersey combines streamlined tailoring with advanced fabric technology to create high-performance style. Designed for all-day riding in hot conditions, the Souplesse Jersey is cut from a proprietary fabric, with a soft matte finish, and is very breathable. It is elegant and lightweight, yet tough enough to withstand demanding use throughout the summer.
The jersey is close-fitting: snug supportive and comfortable around the arms and torso to provide muscle support and a low-profile finish. It also features a rear central pump sleeve and a zipped valuables pocket. A rear contrast stripe, reflective Rapha logo and contrast bindings are just some of the additional style details.
"Designed for hot-weather riding, it certainly helps moderate your temperature with exceptional breathability, as I experienced on several rides on hot, humid days.
The cut is excellent: comfortable, flattering, and fitted. This is performance wear and designed to be snug: if you are large in the chest region you may want to go up a size – though I'm a 34D and the medium fitted fine."
