Pro Team Jacket

A protective softshell outer layer with the comfort of a jersey, the Pro Team Jacket offers insulation, breathability and windproofing in a lightweight and streamlined design. Created for high-tempo riding in colder conditions, the jacket is ideal for winter training.

Technical outer layer for cold-weather cycling

The Pro Team Jacket is designed for high-tempo interval training in cold weather. When you are riding on the limit in low temperatures, breathability and protection from the elements is essential. Using an innovative windproof Polartec® softshell with a perforated membrane and water-repellent treatment on the leading panels, the rear panels are made using Super-Roubaix for insulation and wicking where it matters. The jacket has a higher-cut waist at the front and lower hem at the back for an ‘aero’ fit, while the high collar offers greater protection in cold and wet conditions. Scientific research shows the Chartreuse colourway offers exceptional visibility in low light. Though not technically fluorescent, studies have found that the rods in the retina – the part of the eye that work best in low light – are particularly receptive to the yellow/green colour. As a result, chartreuse is increasingly used around the world for emergency vehicles.

_{Note that the Pro Team Jacket is not fully waterproof. We recommend packing a Rapha Rain Jacket with you as a waterproof outer layer for training rides.}

Key features:

• Polartec® softshell membrane on chest, shoulders and arms (exclusive to Rapha).
• Super-Roubaix rear and underarm panels
• Race fit with side panels
• Reflective armband and trims

Reviews:

I've really enjoyed using this jacket. It doesn't have the warmth of some other winter jackets, but for its stated purpose – fast training sessions where you're going to be working hard – you can't argue with that. It's biggest draw is the fact that its so much more lightweight and slim-cut than most other jackets of this kind.
