If you like being cold going downhill then no, i guess you don't?
it is essentially a gilet with arms - designed for a boost to your overall warmth when conditions change quickly (whether that is when you're stopped for a mechanical, before sunrise/after sunset, you're at a cafe stop or you're going down a hill for a long time and the wind is chilly)
its a pretty versatile garment actually.

Bah. I can usually spot trolls, but hats off, you got me.

The flyweight brevet is not that. Try one in a shop. It’s a bin bag with holes around the mid-riff and brevet stripes.
I tried it on at home and it looked fucking great. Classic Rapha cut, stylish, but I had a sweat on just walking from the bedroom to the kitchen. I imagine any exertion in it and it would be soaking wet in seconds.
I get really hot to the point that I wear a flyweight jersey instead of a normal jersey and a classic long sleeve is like an insulated winter jersey for me. So I assumed the flyweight would be like a normal jacket, but more lightweight so more suitable for someone who gets really hot, but that’s not what it is. I’m not saying it’s all Raphas fault, I picked the wrong product, but regardless of that, it’s £130 for a bin bag.
