Rapha Commuter Jacket

Description

The definitive jacket for riding to work in wet conditions, the Commuter Jacket is designed specifically to get you there on time. Cut with a less extreme riding position than our other waterproof jackets, the Commuter is made of a durable yet lightweight fabric with a hydrophobic membrane. All seams are sealed to prevent any water ingress and the inside of the fabric features a dry touch print to keep you comfortable even if you break sweat. The jacket features a full length waterproof zip, off-centre to prevent irritation against your chin, and a hood which can be worn underneath a helmet in a downpour. When not in use, the hood is neatly stowed with a retention strap which features a reflective grosgrain for visibility. To ensure you stay seen, the jacket also features a reflective gradient dot print on the tail, designed to sit beneath a backpack and in the eyeline of motorists. For extra protection against the weather, the jacket’s elasticated hem and subtle integrated hood drawcord can be adjusted while internal storm binding keep water out at the cuffs.

NB. The jacket is designed to be worn on top of a couple of layers, bear this in mind when choosing your size.

Our Commuter range has a slightly more relaxed fit. If you’re unsure which size will offer you the most comfort, our updated size guides can help you find the perfect size.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great jacket apart from hood clip Great jacket for cycling to work in the recent stormy weather, totally waterproof, hood works well under helmet & really nice arm cuffs. According to the size guide I'm a XS (usually I'm a size 6 or 8), this gives me loads of room for a cosy jumper and I haven't been too hot either, which usually happens with other jackets. I love this jacket apart from the hood clip, as it doesn't keep the hood in place, the hood comes loose at the sides and obstructs my vision when looking over my shoulder on the road, plus it looks a bit messy. It'd be great if this could be fixed, possibly with a wider and shorter strap or a pocket to tuck it into. I'd have given this jacket 5 stars otherwise.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best purchase of the year! I use the jacket as a casual jacket to cycle every day to work (I have the yellow one) and I found it very comfortable and perfect looking. It is very waterproof but is still breathable. Perfect also for the night visibility. My only issue is with the cap: it doesn't fit very well and happened that my hair got wet with rain. Furthermore, I would have preferred the jacket to have been longer on the back but it is a very personal thing About the size: usually I have an S but in this case, it was very large for me so I had to change with an XS

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Does the job My family made me buy a bright rain jacket for those dark and wet commutes (which are often). This jacket is achieved the goals of being visible and being dry. This is a great casual cycling jacket. My only issue is sizing...which I find hard with Rapha product. Sometimes I take a Small, sometimes a Medium, and occasionally, a Large. For this jacket, I bought a Medium, but I wish I would have exchanged for a small. For reference, I am 5'7", 135lbs, curvy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Could be a bit more breathable Great, bright waterproof option to throw over a cycling kit or city clothing. Relaxed fit leaves plenty of space to layer up underneath without feeling restricted in motion from the shoulders to wrists. Honestly, my favorite piece of the jacket are the wrist cuffs. The fit protects your under layer extremely well and prevents wind from going up the sleeves. My only feedback for changing this product is to (1) add armpit zippers for more breathability and (2) fix the hood clip - it doesn't work the way it should to keep the hood tucked away.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Less breathable than my 1993 Halloween costume The year was 1993 and I wanted to dress up as a witch for halloween. Mum was (and still is) the diy type and we happened to have a healthy supply of bin bags in our cupboard.. Point being, this is the worse jacket I've ever bought. Yes it keeps the rain out but you still end up soaking wet from the sweat that's been building up during your commute. It's not a nice fabric, the kind where you have to keep your arms half a meter away from your body or else the whole street knows your coming. How anyone can say this is a nice breathable jacket I don't know, maybe if you're used to wearing bin bags for jackets your whole life this would be small step up, for everyone else, there's better ways of spending your money. Love the look and fit of the jacket tho, currently wearing it as a quick throw on for short walks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very dissappointing I bought this jacket for my wife for Christmas. She loves the look of the jacket and it's a great fit. Unfortunately, it is NOT BREATHABLE at all. The inside lining of the jacket becomes really wet, even after a short ride. She has tried changing the types/amounts of layers she wears underneath it with no effect. She is really dissapointed with it. Unfortunately, it can't be returned now as she has worn it several times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not only a rain jacket This jacket is so stylish and versatile, that I totally fell in love with it.. months of using it passed and I ordered all 3 colours by now.. The black one doesn't even look like "just" a cycling jacket and I wear it randomly - everywhere.. the visibility of the pink one is stunning and also very stylish - so this is always my option when riding on cloudy days expecting rain or fog, yellow one is also quite versatile in consideration of where to wear it, if only for a bike ride or for a city stroll around the river. It is very light and yet there is no way of the water getting through, zipper is a bit tough, but the ring hanging on it makes it absolutely easy and convenient to zip it up fast and safely + it is off-centred so it never irritates the chin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very practical! Great jacket. Feels thin at first, but has kept me dry and warm in the North England weather so far. Combined with a thin fleece, it is warm even in close to freezing temperatures. I like the armband which keeps the wind out, and the hood which I can wear under the helmet. The zip is a bit stiff, so I replaced the loop zip puller with a differently shaped one. I normally wear a medium size, but ordered the small, which is perfect. Wish you would sell some waterproof commuter trousers.

Is this jacket waterproof or water resistant?

Asked by: TiffanyLovesBiking
This jacket is water resistant.

It looks like it's a one-way zipper, ie, it won't zip up from the bottom when the zipper is closed. Is this true? Even if the wearer is the same height as the fit model, the jacket is not usable if one is short-waisted, as it is too long.

Asked by: LeslieT
This jacket does have a one-way zipper.

I just bought a pink commuter jacket, only thing I dont get - how to fold that hoodie? There isn't any pocket or anything on the neck to hide it. The picture you show on the website seems unreal - how to fold it like that? Couldn't find any video on YT.

Asked by: Mandondzek
There is not a specific way to fold the Commuter Jacket. The hood does have a retention strap to hold it down, but aside from that this jacket does not have a stuff sack or a pocket to fold into.

Would you recommend using the commuter jacket over a puffer jacket for warmth in the winter. If so should would you recommend sizing up. Normally a L In the lightweight commuter. Thank you

Asked by: Anax
The Commuter Jacket is not a winter jacket, but rather a rather a jacket for riding in the rain. If you would like to wear it over another jacket in the winter we do recommend sizing up.

Are any of the raincoats PFC Free DWR as I'm trying to avoid PFC as not good for fertility and thyroid problems any info appreciated

Asked by: Clairezec
At this point in time, all of the jackets that we call rain jackets contain DWR treatments, which do contain C6 PFC, which is the lowest impact PFC treatment available for DWR fabrics at this time. We are however working hard towards a PFC free range by 2025 in line with our company sustainability goals.
