At last a bright colour to be seen
I have had a Rapha rain jacket for many years. But it was black and understandably when it rained I was not very visual to car drivers. So pleased to see that Rapha have introduced a bright vibrant colour. Gives me so much more confidence when wearing the orange jacket instead of the usual black.
The coat itself is very lightweight and easily fits into the back pocket of my cycling shirt. Despite its lightness it is very wind proof too. Highly recommend.

Excellent must have practical waterproof.
Outstanding piece of kit, packs up tiny & fits in jersey pocket, totally waterproof, some reviews twine about poor breathability and small zip, of course it’s not fully breathable, it’s budget non Gore Tex lightweight & packable, zipper is totally waterproof, it fits large so I had to size down from jersey size, I’ll be using instead of a gilet for spring/autumn, can’t praise it highly enough, only way I’d love it more is if it came with a stuff sack.

Needs to breathe better...
Jacket fits pretty well and certainly does the job of keeping the rain out. The arms are a bit tight on me (and I have skinny arms) which caused perspiration to bold up due to lack of airflow. In all, I had trouble getting the jacket off at the end of a 50m ride because of that.
I suspect I will use it more often as a wind breaker than a rain jacket and that is more or less what I suspected I would use it for. The hi-vis markings on it are great!

Packs tiny, quite waterproof but a bit sweaty
great jacket for the jersey pocket. really packs up small. I find it perfect for whipping out for cold descents or when the weather changes a bit. It sweats up a bit so I prefer to wear it with long sleeved jerseys (winter in Aus so no dramas right now) - otherwise a bit clammy on the skin. For the price, size and quality, absolutely no complaints. Actually just one - Rapha - your zip handles are too small and waaaay too small with gloves on.

Great fit for big riders
I am 6'6" and 220lbs so I need a careful fit for my road cycling kit. The XXL fits brilliantly, providing a close but not tight fit and allowing other gear (mid and base layers) to be worn underneath/ Its a bright color and packs down so that you can easily put it in a jersey pocket. Its rain proof and windproof. It is simply a brilliant piece of kit and great value from a great brand. Thank you Rapha your Core range is a staple for me.

Stylish!
I have wanted some Rapha products for a while and when I saw that there was a discount on this item I felt it was the perfect opportunity to jump in. Overall I am really impressed with the quality of the construction, the material and how stylish it is! I got the black with the white band round the arm. I’m large build and the size was perfect. So overall I would have no problem recommending this product. It’s a big thumbs up from me!

What a jacket!
Fantastic fit. Ordered a Large 5ft 9" 77kg and jacket loose enough to fit long sleeve jersey underneath.
Got caught in a torrential downpour and this jacket kept my top half completely dry.
Also recently had a tumble on some black ice and ripped my bib shorts, overshoes and gloves (manufactured by another well known Italian brand) but this jacket barely had a scratch on it, despite my right forearm taking the brunt of the impact.

Versatile and bespoke
Purchased this jacket as the temperatures dropped (not too much in Southern California). On the first ride with this jacket, I ended up cycling in the rain and it worked great. While other comments point out the lack of breathability, this jacket performs very well in rain, wind and cooler temperatures. My only suggestion, is an internal pocket or two. Nonetheless, this is a bespoke and functional piece that suggest for all.

Nice, lightweight rain jacket
Bought this as a gift. My son loves the jacket. The yellow keeps him visible in gray weather. He did wish it had a back pocket.

Has met expectations
Working out better than I thought it would. It’s a perfect outer layer for the wet and cold weather of the Pacific Northwest. Instead of layering up with bulk, because the coat doesn’t breathe much, it works well to keep me the right temperature, and dry. Water beads off it. The cost was my only concern. I question that it should have cost as much as it did but for a Canadian to ride it in November means it does its job.

Great jersey let down by pocket position.
This is a great and very high quality long sleeve jersey. The fit is excellent, no too baggy around the body and plenty of length in the arms. The fabric feels great, and it’s just the right thickness for spring/Autumn riding. My old grip (hence 4/5 stars) is that the pockets on the back feel as though they are too high up, it makes getting gels on the fly quite tricky, especially when wearing gloves. Great jersey.

Great stuffable little jacket
The appeal of going out in the rain has long gone for me, so this wan't bought to start a ride and endure the best of the British weather. This purchased to stuff in the back pocket, wear in an emergency shower and primarily for post ride supping coffee. It fits to size, medium just fits me well. I like the simplicity of the design and let's be honest Rapha is now much cooler since they stopped sponsoring SKY :)

nice one
die Regenjacke ist ziemlich wasserdicht, aber eben nicht ganz. Eine Stunde im Dauerregen und die Arme werden nass, aber der Torso nicht! Allerdings trocknet der Stoff auch wieder relativ schnell. Echter Nachteil: bei warmen, schwülem Wetter kommt man sehr stark ins Schwitzen, da ist man u.U. drunter nasser als drüber. Wäre die Jacke atmungsaktiver, wäre sie meine #1. Hätte mir lieber das teurere Modell gekauft :-(

Stops water ingress and out!
Rain during climb jacket fills with sweat stopped and drained sleeves about a liter each of Water back had another two liters during climb in Provence France seals well drains and vents poorly Weight and rolled up size in Jersey pocket was good trade off.

Slim Arms
Manufacturing quality appears to be very good. The body is probably more suited to a slim, longer torso .
The arms are very slim.
Arm-warmers and a midweight jersey fit quite well under it, but I'd be surprised if anything heavier did.
Sleeves are long, so no issue when on the drops.
I did find, however, that I was quite damp/wet on the inside due to perspiration.
Does a decent job of keeping wind off, too.

Light and breathable
Have worn this so far a couple of times and found the jacket easy to pack and as breathable as possible considering it's waterproof. The double cuffs on wrists are smart and really comfortable. I have also worn the jacket on a 10+ km run in constant drizzle and it was more than ok then too. My only thought on what could be improved is that there could be a few more reflective details for the darker conditions.

MVP Men's Core Rain Jacket II
I would highly recommend the Mens Core Rain Jacket II. Purchased before undertaking the North Coast 500 in September which involved heavy wind and rain on numerous occasions. My torso stayed completely dry over the 5 days of cycling and the jacket was the MVP of the trip. I am 5'10' with muscular upper and the large size was a great fit. This is a classic case of 'buy right buy once' Rapha quality for the win.

Great pack away jacket
Ive only had to use this twice since purchase however, it folds up and fits easily in a jersey pocket. On the occasion i was caught out on a longer ride it managed to keep me dry (light rain) and warm in windy weather for the remaining 2 hours. The only issue would be the lack of pockets, but for a fold up jacket its perfect.
Note: I haven't had to test this in heavy rain yet, so cant give feedback on that.

Great rain jacket
I bought this jacket recently and have worn it a couple of times in rain. It kept me dry and warm on a cool days in the rain.
After an online discussion I went for a Large size which proved bang on. A good fit with no excess to flap in the wind. I am approx 103 chest and 188 tall. It packs away into a rear pocket on my jersey. In my opinion it's the best rain jacket I've bought. Lightweight and portable.

Lightweight
I bought this for an upcoming trip to ride in the French Alps. My rain cape is a tad too bulky to stuff in my back pocket. This jacket is super lightweight and packable. I may even use it instead of my windproof jacket for the amazing descents

Surprisingly good
Wasn’t sure whether this would work but after riding four hours in heavy rain and being dry underneath the jacket, I’m very pleased. Of course there are more expensive rain jackets which might be better but this worked well enough at the price. I’m 6ft 4ins, 82kg and the large was a very reasonable fit. Delivery was good and fast. I bought an L and an XL and returned the XL efficiently and without drama.

Strong and light. Great jacket
This is a great jacket; keeps you dry and protected in the wind and rain and is light enough to pack down to pocket-size when not needed. I have used it for autumn, winter and spring.
The fit is just right for me; size M 5'9", 11st.

Stylish lightweight rain jacket
I love this jacket, it’s lightweight enough to be compacted and fit into your back pocket on a potentially rainy cycle. The breath ability is also great whilst on don’t get too hot or sweaty whilst riding and it fits well.
The downside to this one is that it doesn’t have any rear pockets, would be useful to have a water tight one at the back. However other than that I’m absolutely happy with this!

Another fine Rapha product...
I don't own a lot of Rapha gear but each piece I do own is excellent in terms of great fit, durable and well made. A recent trip to Europe riding high passes necessitated a new shell jacket, a friend suggested the Core Rain Jacket II and I was very pleased they did. It proved excellent in terms of compact and light and performed as expected. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this jacket to others.

Outstanding rain jacket
Having previously owned a Rapha core rain jacket (which wore out after three years hard use), i was eager to see if the next iteration would be as good. It is better! Lightweight, wholly waterproof and breathable. This is an outstanding waterproof jacket for its price.
I ride all year round and have owned many different waterproof (supposedly), jackets, the Rapha Core jacket is by far the best.

Perfect fit and function
I am very happy with this jacket. I needed a water proof layer to ride on rainy days in Vermont. The fit is a perfect amount of flex without flapping at higher speeds. Water proofing holds up to heavy rain. Sweat does stay inside the jacket but it is an inescapable feature of water proof. I highly recommend this jacket for comfort and function. Great styling with clean lines and well made features.

Perfect wind/rain jacket for its price
Not 'perfect' as it doesn't ventilate as well as a higher-end rain jacket, but I'm not concerned with being a bit 'sweat damp' on a wet ride. The main thing is it keeps the rain and wind off you exceptionally well, packs very small and looks great. Keeps me warm in 0deg C with a base layer and long sleeve jersey underneath (no need for bulky tops). It's also very reasonably priced given the above.

Replaced my Pro Shadow jacket after a crash with this. Less breathable than the shadow jacket but more waterproof. Good fit. Would prefer if the white accents were reflective for added safety and visibility...

Excellent rain blocking, poor fit
This is an excellent rain blocking jacket. Completely waterproof that I carry on almost all my rides in the Fall and Winter. It is also surprisingly wind proof, so I will occasionally put it on when I wear a jersey or jacket that is not wind proof. My only criticism is that it is quite loose fitting, and wish it was a little tighter - not to the level of the Pro line, but could be tighter.

Great jacket that does what it says on the “tin”
Very pleased with the Core rain jacket. I worn it many thanks since my purchase, not only has it kept me dry but I’ve been impressed with just how breathable the jacket is preventing a build up of sweat
