Black Diamond Rhythm Tee vs Rapha Core

If this fit of this shirt were transferred to another (and less expensive) shirt made for high output activity, that would be a great addition to the BD lineup.

So it's the rapha core jersey, as you can see here, i've got it in purple. This is size large and on a six foot. Four man - and it fits me, i think ve...

It is much lighter, much more breathable - yet comfortable in both cold and warm applications. It strecthes in such a way and is so feathery light that it almost feels like wearing nothing. For me, the best thing about this tee compared to other merino wool tees is how fast it dries (which is normally the achilles heel of wool, imho). I live in the Northeast and recreate quite a lot in our wet climate - any given day between -10F and 80F this is my short sleeve base layer of choice, regardless of forecast

So we're going to undo the zipper now zip that down we've got a nice metal, zip open this guy up and we can take a look. We can see. We'Ve got good re...

I tried to find if I accidentally chose the Short Sleeve in the options but no one could find my original order, they kept bringing me back to the "Current Options", which only showed "long sleeves" but read "Short Sleeves" and at a different price than what I paid. LESSON: Take a screenshot next time. It is warm, but not like what people are raving about. Maybe because it is a blend, but for the price, I think a $10 thermal sweater would have worked just as good considering that I need to wear an undershirt anyways

Definitely a difference, but not sure it is worth the price difference, I’ve had both $50-$180 and would say the best bang for your buck is gonna be Rapha Core Lightweight Jersey, $80, great for the heat, quality product, and it looks good. If you purely want functionality and money isn’t an issue than yes the top end jerseys are better for heat and more aero.

Be carefull on the sizing: I wear a size S for 99% of the BD Shirts (Logowear, Pulse, Warbonnet). For this one I needed a size medium.

It’s like they were cut for some one with a 32+ inseamI’m 5’9 204 with a 30’ inseam and these are maybe 3inches longer then I’d like. Even considering the price and the brand I can’t justify keep this as they will ride over my knee. Rapha please fix this!!!
