Rapha is just as excited for the summer's dust as we are as the brand has just launched an all-new range of summer clothing, dubbed the Trail Fast + Light collection. It's built to keep riders cool and comfortable during toasty laps and all-day singletrack sessions.

• What's best for cycling, synthetic or merino base layers?
• The best glasses for mountain bike and gravel riding - top glasses reviewed and rated
• Best mountain bikes you can buy for under £2,000

The new Fast + Light collection brings Rapha's known quality to a pedal-friendly package that's lightweight and breathable. That breathability comes thanks to the use of ventilated fabrics, refined features, and a more streamlined fit.

Rapha has taken four existing designs and claims to have optimised them for a wider range of uses focusing on weight savings, heat management, and ventilation. Those come in the form of the Trail Fast + Light Pants, Tank, T-shirt, and Shorts.

Kicking off with the Women's only Trail Lightweight Tank, it's exactly what it says on the tin, a tank top made for mountain biking in the warmest weather.

The Technical T-shirt follows a similar theme but adds sleeves to the equation with a  moisture wicking fabric.

The Trail Fast + Light Shorts get a slim cut, as do the full length trousers.

Prices for Rapha's new Trail Fast + Light collection start at £50 for the women's Tank top and go up to £110 for the Trail + Fast Pant.
