Description
Lightweight weatherproof for the rigours of the city
When getting wet during your city ride isn’t an option, the Hooded Rain Jacket will keep the elements out. Using a waterproof, lightweight and high-stretch fabric with fully taped internal seams, this cycling jacket is extremely water and wind resistant.
The rollout hood is engineered to fit under a bike helmet and will follow with the movement of a rider’s head for optimum field of vision. The cinch-cords on the hood have self-locking eyelets, allowing for adjustment with one hand.
The cuffs have reversible tabs with hi-vis stripes that use a new snap closure, while a hi-vis, drop-down tail can be stored in the rear panel when not in use. There are laser-cut vent-holes under the arms, and the main water-resistant Vislon® zip has a Velcro-fastened placket, imitating that of the Pro Team Race Cape.
The cut is more relaxed than Rapha’s race- and training-specific jackets, and looks just as good off the bike as it does when in the saddle.

Excellent fit, but poorly assembled
Quality of the fabrics etc. is good as always with Rapha. The same goes for the fit. However, just below the flap with velcro on the front, the combination of the stiching of the zipper and the bonded strip of fabric to close it off for water, is distorted.
I asked for a new product (and got one promptly by return, thanks!) but it had the same fault, so it is systematic. This means that the front part is protruding locally, as if there is a finger sticking out of one's stomach. The quality and style of Rapha's racing products is excellent, but obviously and unfortunately, making rain jackets proves to be an expertise in itself.....

It is actually waterproof and great for commute
I'm a woman and bought the men's version because the female version was a) a horrible colour and b) had zero features, not even cuffs you meanies. This jacket kept me dry in a downpour for an hour and is really very lovely. Lightweight, a great colour and lots of nice details. The hood is especially good and keeps rain off your face without affecting peripheral vision. Two niggles - ugh the huge logo on the bright pink bum flap. It would have been nice to have made this as low key as the rest of the jacket. Branding on technical clothing is one of my pet hates. And the velcro on the front fastening - magnets would have been nicer, wouldn't be so prone to looking rubbish after regular use and wouldn't snag my merino base underneath.

I've owned the original City Jacket for about 5 years and it's been without question one of the best jackets I've ever owned. This updated version is slightly longer on the waist with the double zipper that comes up from the bottom. It's a more off the bike fit with that bottom zipper accommodating on the bike position while covering your untucked shirt like a regular jacket. The material seems to be the same as the Rain Cape and fits true to Rapha's trim, cyclist physique. I want to wear it inside as much as I do outside. Worth every penny and an amazing mix of style and technical build.

The multifunctional jacket
I bought this as a gift for my son who is currently living in Victoria Canada. It’s ideal. Waterproof, outstanding fit and looks so great

Pure class
I bought one for my wife but she couldn't justify the cost, I got one for me out of interest whilst hers was coming anyway. Its ridiculously expensive, but when you've got it on you sure don't want to send it back. So I haven't. Just told the wife that my Christmas present (that I would pay for) was sorted. Worn it loads and every time I do I think its better value for money.

Beautifully designed, detailed and made
Worth every penny and as much as I'd appreciate paying less, actually paying any less would feel wrong for something of this quality. I'm sure I could easily get something else just as functional but Rapha are in a class of their own when it comes to quality, detail, and fit.

Excellent on & off the bike.
This is absolutely an amazing rain jacket! It's form fitting, so I couldn't layer up too much, but in 45º weather and wearing only a t-shirt underneath... I was nice and cozy. I wore this jacket in heavy rain, and I remained dry.

Does this jacket have any pockets?
Hi, this Jacket has two zipped pockets in the front panels.

I generally fall between sizes (Medium to Large). I'm a 39inch chest, with relatively broad shoulders so I'm at the top of the Medium range and the bottom of the Large range - can you suggest which might be the best fit?
The Large size would be the best for this garment.

Based on the photos the material looks thin. What layers do you recommend that fit under this jacket when cold weather hits the city? I also aim to use it throughout 3 chilly seasons for multiple 30 mins city rides.
Hi, 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. Think of this jacket as the perfect shell to protect you from the elements when riding in wet conditions through the city.

How is the degree of water and wind resistance when compared with Goretex fabric?
The material and construction of this Jacket ensures that the water runs off and is wind resistant when riding. It uses the same DWR technology as our Race Cape with a more relaxed City fit for on and off bike use

Does this jacket require periodic treatment with a Durable Water Repellency (DWR) product?
This Jacket would benefit from regular reproofing to extend and refresh the waterproof qualities

Which jacket is more waterproof...this city jacket or the pro team race cape? Thanks!
The Pro Team Race Cape is fully Waterproof the City Jacket is Water Resistant,

Hi. A couple questions; - How does the waterproof performance and breathability of the fabric compare to the Classic Winter Jacket? - Does it have any pockets?
The material of this Jacket is both Waterproof and Windproof, the taped seams ensure no water gets in. The Classic Winter Jacket use zipped vents to increase its breathability and this is a feature missing from this Jacket as it is designed as commuting/City wear rather than as a performance piece. The Jacket has two zipped pockets i the front panels

Is this jacket made of thicker/heavier materials than the packable waterproof jacket ? I am considering it as a fall/winter/spring commuter jacket. For winter use, would a light down jacket fit under? Im a jersey size M - 184cm 70kg
This Jacket is made of slightly more rugged materials and would be a perfect 3-Season commuting Jacket. Its versatility would be enhanced with suitable layering as you suggest
