Description

The Classic Winter Jacket is our most versatile bad weather jacket, redesigned for the needs of the modern rider. An evolutionary leap ahead from our Classic Softshell and Hardshell, it is the ideal garment for winter base miles, with the ability to withstand the harshest conditions on any kind of ride. Cut from Polartec® Power Shield Pro® fabric, it combines wind- and waterproofing with incredible breathability, efficiently transferring moisture vapour away from the skin while keeping the elements at bay. Added underarm zips allow for increased ventilation when the temperature, or the intensity, rises.

Designed to be used across a range of winter temperatures as part of a layering system, the Classic Winter Jacket features hi-vis detailing for riding in low light, as well as taped seams, waterproof zips and elastane inner cuffs to keep you comfortable and dry, whatever the weather.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great piece of kit I've had this out in the rain and cold at elevation and it has done an exceptional job of keeping me comfortable. I was focused on controlling the bike and my cadence instead of adjusting my kit or shivering on the descents. I tend to do tempo in the wintertime and have a hard time with overheating on the ups, then suffering on the down. This breathes exceptionally well and stayed put. I am 5'9 and 155 lbs this time of year, and I got a Medium. I could have fit a Small, but for wintertime layering I'm glad I got the Medium. I've had "team kit" winter jackets in the past, but I am so glad I went for this. The cuffs are another nice touch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As good as it gets... A great blend of the classic softshell and hardshell, you have all the protection of the hardshell but the jacket breathes really well, the pit vents are a fantastic addition. You have to have owned a few 'winter' jackets to really appreciate the features on this jacket. The zipped drop tail is also great and really improves visibility in the rain. I would recommend a mesh base and something like a pro team jersey or a core jersey with this, down to well below zero, its thin but very warm and you really don't need or want anything to thick under it. Fit wise, as sized, its not a close fit, it needs room to move and for you to layer up, then it feels great on the bike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent I'm 176cm and 95kg. XL is a true fit allowing for winter baselayer plus jersey underneath. Although I've been riding in sub zero temps this has still provided adequate warmth and when pulling hard the vent zips have allowed heat escape with opening the front zip. Long sleeves work well with gloves (overlaying or tucked in) and permit to stretched out stance without lifting the jackets tail and so exposing the back. Rear pockets are a touch too high for comfortable use, but are large and well constructed to keep everything in for longer cold wet base fitness rides. Overall in my opinion this is certainly the best winter jacket I've owned (Italian,spanish or Swedish).

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great jacket but small niggles As a winter jacket for keeping me warm and dry it's been great. However, two small things prevent me from calling it perfect; the first is the tiny zip on the pocket which isn't particularly easy to use when wearing gloves, the second is it could do with more to improve its visibility in the dark...the reflective areas are tiny and the yellow quite dull. Overall a great jacket but considering it's a winter jacket, so likely to be used while wearing gloves and in the dark, they're two small design features which I feel have been overlooked.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favorite Rapha garment This jacket is very, very stylish. Might make you want to wear it while driving or out to dinner. Don't let that fool you though. It will stand up to cold and wet rides Portland rain for 2 plus hours in 40F weather. This due to the high quality seam sealing, fabrics used, and overall construction. I am very impressed with it's design - the jacket gets tons of comments on rides (especially with the high vis pink rain flap.) You'll be riding comfortably for hours in the worst weather. Lightweight for being so very warm. Worth every penny!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Magical Jacket This is definitely an improvement on the Softshell - it is incredibly light, fists well and is impossibly cosy for something so light. I wore it last week in -6 C with a long sleeve merino base underneath and I was comfortable for the duration of an hour ride - and am sure I would have remained so. I have also worn it in10 C and the breathability certainly kept sweat to a minimum - I was much drier than a precious similar ride where I wore the rain jacket. The chartreuse is a good visible colour for winter. Minor criticisms are that the pockets are tight at the back and it could use some reflective bits maybe. Neither of these would stop me giving this 5 stars.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Almost perfect but fatally flawed This jacket appears very good in every way except the cut. Mainly the back pockets are so deep they open half way up the back. This makes it very difficult to get anything in or out of the pockets in any situation. You really have to contort your arm and that comes from someone who does yoga. Combined with that, the tail is not quite long enough and the arms need to cut into the torso a bit more at the armpit. When you raise your arms to the bars the jacket rides up. The medium size was about perfect for me but I returned it for a large to help but it is still very difficult to get into the pockets. Rapha need to make it about an inch longer, put the pockets further down and make them about an inch shallower.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Handled all terrible weathers In one single day, this jacket saw: 1.) over an hour of heavy rain at 9 deg C, 2.) an hour and a half of 20 to 40mph winds at 5 to 6 deg C 3.) a chilly 1 deg C with high winds a good 8 hours later. Was bone dry and warm throughout (a tad too warm at 9 deg C with the long sleeve merino base layer, if I wasn't dressing for the forecasted 1 deg temps i'd have just used a short sleeve or mesh base instead). The jacket doesn't look as good, or fit as well, as the Pro Team Training or Thermal jackets - it runs a little large (I'm 6ft tall, 40" chest with 32" waist and bought the medium - the bottom rear just doesn't grip well, whether i had full pockets or not) but neither of those jackets would have handled the weather this jacket handled.

1) I wear a size small core jersey. Will small be the correct size for this too? 2) Is the Rapha branding on the back of these? I can't seem to see. And is the black reflective at all?

Asked by: Yona
We would recommend size Small for you. There is a small Rapha logo on the left arm.

My winter rides are around 25 degrees F It’s this jacket will work for this temperature?

Asked by: Cerv S5
This jacket can be used in these very conditions if worn with suitable layering of a warm base layer and jersey. It can be worn in 25 degrees F depending on the effort of riding and base layer.

I'm cycling in New York winter. Temps below 0 C. Should this jacket do the job if I layer properly? Also, I'm 5'11" and 150 lb, should I get a large, in order to fit the layers underneath?

Asked by: michaelbe
The temperature range of this jacket should be around 0-10℃ depending on the effort of riding and layers.
