Size guide

Rapha generally fits true to size, so start with your usual size. Since spring/summer 2026 sizing is the same across ranges. If you're between sizes, size up. Measure yourself rather than going by the size you wear elsewhere, because sizes vary between brands.

Two fits

Pro fit: Pro Team, Shadow and Souplesse. Close to the skin in high-stretch fabric, for a locked-in, aerodynamic feel. It's snug off the bike and made to feel right in a racing position.
Regular fit: Classic, Brevet and Core. Close but relaxed, a little longer in the body, for long days, everyday riding and easy layering.

Bib shorts and tights are meant to fit close. Jackets and gilets are cut a little looser so they go over other layers. Most ranges run from XS to XXL, with XXXL in some styles.

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure, keep it level, and measure over underwear rather than clothes.

Chest: around the fullest part of your chest.
Waist: around the narrowest part of your waist.
Hips: feet together, around the fullest part of your hips.
