Every Rapha chart below is verified against the brand's official sizing, and all numbers are body measurements, not garment measurements.
Rapha fit — the short version
Fit by line: Core is the reference fit — true to size, a close but relaxed cut, longer in the torso. Pro Team is the race fit and runs about half a size small; it is cut for the riding position with a shorter body, so size up if you are between sizes. Brevet has room for layering on long days. Explore is the relaxed, on and off-bike cut.
Chart values are body measurements the garment is made to fit, with the tape measure horizontal to the floor.
