Rapha IF Cross jersey review

The Cross jersey is made from lightweight Sportwool, with a merino wool inner face that wicks sweat away effectively and a tougher polyester outer.

The full length front zip means you can let plenty of air in when things get tough, although a larger zip-pull would be handy for use with full-fingered gloves, and foam padding on top of the right shoulder helps take the pain out of carrying your bike. 

The drawstring around the hem is easy to adjust on the fly as is the zip on the rear pocket, and Rapha’s usual high-quality workmanship is obvious throughout.
