Rapha lightweight or super lightweight jersey
I have a Rapha credit note to spend and I'm trying to decide between the lightweight and super lightweight jersey. 99% of my riding is here in the UK, but I am doing the Etape in the summer where it may be HOT. Which one should I go for?
I always wear a base layer underneath, which in the summer is the Rapha 'string vest' mesh merino one. I can get quite hot when riding, and don't go well when its very warm. Makes me think the super lightweight, but then is it worth it just for one trip i.e. will I get use out of it all year round?

Sunburn or an extra 2.5grams. Your choice.
I would just go for the light weight if you want to use it in the UK.
All year round in the UK unlikely but possible with the lightweight.
I like the sky pro jersey much better than all of their other jersey with regards to technology, fit and comfort. The only thing I don't like about it is the logos but I can live with that as long as it is comfortable and functional.
If you get really hot then try the sky climbers pro jersey.
