Rapha Technical T-shirt, £55, rapha.cc

I don’t much care about being aero on a gravel bike, and laden jersey pockets bouncing into my back on rough terrain are unappealing, so I tend to ride in T-shirts. Cotton ones tend to hold on to too much moisture though, so technical tees like this are ideal. It’s light and breathable, being made from the same material as Rapha’s Flyweight jersey, with an excellent cut that is loose without being baggy. Typically, it is stylish and includes thoughtful touches like a hivis band on the underside of each sleeve hem that can be revealed with one turn-up.
