RCC Pro Team Insulated Jacket
Rapha’s revolutionary answer to cold-weather training and racing. A close-fitting, packable highly-insulated jacket for harsh conditions, made using the extraordinary Polartec Alpha® insulation, in exclusive RCC colours.
Description
Lightweight insulation in club colours
Riders and racers looking for warmth in cold conditions often have to compromise on speed by wearing a bulky, protective jacket. Not so with the all new RCC Pro Team Insulated Jacket, a close-fitting, cold weather outer layer, which uses Polartec’s extraordinary Alpha insulation, for class-leading warmth without the volume of traditional down. It is highly breathable, ensuring you don’t overheat during harder efforts, and fast-drying and hydrophobic, meaning the jacket won’t hold moisture like natural down insulation. A DWR-coated, windproof front keeps your chest warm, while the stretch fabric on the back ensures a great fit, as well as letting body heat out. The jacket has three pockets on the back for storing valuables, and the double-ended Vislon zip provides easy access to your jersey pockets or to help you regulate body temperature. Whether you’re training hard or warming-up pre-race, this is a game-changing product, available in RCC colours exclusively to club members.

Love this Jacket
I bought this a few weeks ago to try and reduce the number of layers I was wearing in the low temps. This works a treat. Even as there has been a little warming this week, I find that the jacket breaths nicely. I imagine I will get at least another month before it is too hot. Easy to pack too, so good for overnight trips with early starts or late finishes into the spring or fall. Sizing was the only issue. I'm a large in most stuff, although a medium in city jackets, and an extra large in pro team... I tried a large but waaay to tight. The extra large is comfortable, good arm length, actually loose in the bicep area. I'm 180cm and 80kg.

not quiet the same
I bought this jacket as I thougt it would be the RCC version of the brevet insulated jacket which I bought earlier and was very satisfied with. The RCC insulated jacket I turned out to be less satisfying. Although it has a zipper in both directions and back pockets which is an inprovement compared to the brevet one, the fit is different. The uppercut arms are much to big and make and irritating noise when riding in the wind. I also had to change M for L as M was to tight around the waist. Conclusion : I would have preferred it to be more like the brevet insulated jacket in RCC colours and with the zipper in both ways and back pockets. It insulates fine.

Beautiful jacket!
I wanted a winter jacket but that was sleek, stylish and warm and this ticked all the boxes. I’ve worn it for training and racing down to as low as -5C and days that got up to 20C by the end of the ride/race and it was comfortable (obviously I had opened it up by the end). On really cold days I wore a long sleeve merino wool base and long sleeve jersey underneath but for most rides just a long sleeve merino base and a short sleeve jersey underneath was perfectly comfortable. I’m 70-72 kg and 174cm and I had to go with a large size instead of my usual medium. Also I get compliments on every ride when I wear my Rapha kit :-)

Great material but odd fit
I wear a size medium in all Rapha cycling wear and I purchase size large for some city wear. This jacket has shorter arms than usual and the upper arms are baggy. The most noticeable change is how snug the torso fits. It’s tighter than my shadow jersey. The material is amazing for temperature regulation and protection from wind and light precipitation.

Love the Fabric and Features, Hate the Fit
Fantastic Fabric:
Perfect for temps around freezing with a heavy base layer such as the Deep Winter for low tempo rides, or the Pro Team for higher tempo rides. Sheds wind just a bit; but' not too much, which is great for moisture management. Dries quickly. Insulates fantastic. Fabric Performance is the reason I Kept this Garment.
Great Features:
Pockets are reachable. Small zipper at side is perfect for keys a few paper bills. Centr Zipper at bottom is perfect to help relieve yourself which allows one to grab the top of the bib shorts... Collar is great not too low, not too tall. Graphics super visible. ...
Fit:
My Body is... 155lbs, 5' 11" Tall, 41" Chest, 30" Waist, 34" Inseam, 34-35" Sleeve. As a Reference; Medium is a very close; though, fully comfortable fit in all of the Rapha Pieces I own, Winter Jacket, Pro Team Soft Shell, Wind Jacket, Many Jerseys, and All base layers... This piece differs in that the chest is very close, I can fit a Deep Winter Base layer as a maximum under layer; but, it is "very" tight across the chest. Still usable.
...Now what I hate are the arms...
Very puzzling design, they are short.. but ..ok.. also usable, the part that kills me (as other reviewers have mentioned in the Pro Team Version) is the biceps are way huge.. Like Popeye the Sailor Man Huge... I can't imagine body proportions where the arms would fit a person with such a small chest and torso, yet so huge biceps ... who could develop their body so disproportionately? The Arms Flap with a loud noise about 30km/hr. Crazy!
The good news is, I can fit both a Pro Team Base Layer, and the Pro Team Insulated Jacket under my Medium Winter Jacket for real cold conditions....
Summary:
Yes I kept the Jacket; but, almost returned it.. my decision factors were the Fabric Insulation Performance, and the Visibility... the alternative was the Brevet Insulated Jacket which seems to have different (favourable) arm dimensions based on reviews, and also the back is insulated in the Brevet which would not work for my hard interval efforts during 27-34 Degree F temps....

Mixed bag
Stylish jacket but the fit is rather tight- almost aero - around the waist but the arms are massively baggy at the biceps and too short. Flappy experience. But with winter gloves the sleeves fit under the glove cuffs. Quite warm but needs layering. Not as warm as a training jacket , more like a softshell without the quality of fit. But looks nice .

Fantastic features, strange fit
In terms of the insulating capabilities, 5 stars. Despite being a really lightweight product, the temperature regulation is absolutely perfect — whether doing solid aerobic work or threshold intervals, I am never too warm or cold. Really nice feel and flawless design.
In terms of fit, 2-3 stars. As others have also written, the fit of this product is (in my opinion) entirely different from any other Rapha product, almost as if a mistake occurred during production.
The lower arms are tight and snug, but too short.
The upper arms are huge (and for cyclists, this is really noticeable), baggy and loose, detracting from the style and functionality.
The abdomen is snug — more snug than normal.
The shoulders are cut in the same form-fitting style as other products. The jacket flaps and vibrates constantly, which is even more annoying given that the sound is coming from right next to the ears…
The overall fit of the jacket is smaller than other items. Pro Team are usually cut race tight, but this is even tighter.
I would recommend this jacket in a heartbeat for its insulation, comfort and beautiful aesthetic — but I would also give fair warning as to the baggy/tight/flappy cut, very unusual for a Pro Team product from Rapha.

Excellent. Rapha does it again!
On first ride with this over Christmas in zero degrees I made the mistake of wearing a winter base layer under and a Gilet over the top. After 15 mins I was too hot and had to remove the Gilet for the remainder of the ride. Excellent warmth, stylish and great material. You do not feel the wind or cold with this on. I normally wear a large in Rapha tops but needed extra large with this.

Hi, the sizing guide suggests that the RCC Pro insulated jacket is the same fit/cut as the Brevet insulated jacket. However, many of the reviews stated that it has shorter sleeves and looser arms. Can you compare the chest/waist fitting between the two?
Hi, our sizing guide is a generic size guide, it not specific to each item, ie. the measurements are as a general rule. The RCC Pro Team Insulated Jacket is tighter and more streamlined as it is a race fit.

hi, Would you say that this jacket is warmer that the pro team training jacket?
Hi, the Pro Team Insulated Jacket is warmer and better for long cold weather winter rides. The Pro Team Training Jacket is better for high tempo winter riding, such as short fast rides or race training.

Do the sleeves have the same "fleece like" insulation that the torso portion does? or is the insulation only on the torso?
Hi, the upper part of the sleeves have the exposed Alpha insulation as well as the front panels. Back & under arms have a stretch fabric without insulation for improved ventilation.
Date published: 2017-11-21
Roughly what temperature ranges is this jacket intended for?
As we all regulate temperature differently it is hard to advice on the temperature range for individuals and differing exertion levels will also affect its properties. This is also dependent on choice of layers used. If you were to use this jersey with a merino base layer, it would be perfect for rides between 5-10 degrees, but if you were to ride in colder temperatures then you may be better off with a deep winter base layer underneath.
Date published: 2017-11-21
Are the sleeves windproof and DWR too?
Hi, the front panels of the sleeves are the same as the front panels of the jacket, both windproof and DWR treated.
