They call it endurance cycling for more than one reason — it’s not just about sticking it out over a lot of miles; it’s about persevering through all manner of conditions, too. With the Brevet line of men’s and women’s road cycling apparel, Rapha looks to simply and significantly improve the ultra-long-distance rider’s kit.
Rapha Brevet all-weather cycling line
The collection, which drops in the U.S. and Europe on April 26, provides endurance cyclists with what Rapha claims are highly durable, lightweight, performance pieces that offer moisture-wicking, temperature regulation, and improved visibility.
