CLASSIC

 

The Classic Winter Jacket was developed to be our definitive three-season jacket, with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® technology to balance protection from the elements with breathability to keep your core body temperature stable on any kind of road riding in cold conditions. Intended to be worn throughout your ride, the jacket adapts to a wide range of conditions. The fabric’s durable water repellent (DWR) coating protects from light rain showers and, in tandem with dual chest vents, provides superb breathability during tougher efforts. Two large rear pockets take all your ride essentials, with angled openings for ease of use even when wearing gloves. In between is a contrast stripe which, together with reflective trims on the chest and shoulders, boosts visibility when riding in low light.

CLASSIC WINTER JACKET

With a drawcord hem and raised collar to lock heat in, chest pockets that double as air vents for cooling and reflective detailing for visibility, this jacket is packed with features perfect for winter riding.

CITY


Combining technical fabrics and contemporary style, the City collection is made to switch seamlessly between life on and off the bike. The Insulated GORE-TEX Field Coat is a performance-driven take on the iconic military field jacket, designed to be used both on and off the bike. The outer shell is a 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric with a GORE® C-Knit™ backer and a fully recycled face fabric, constructed to meet the GORE-TEX GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise. The short-sleeve, quilted liner locks in warmth but can be buttoned out and worn separately, extending the temperature range of the shell when worn by itself.

INSULATED GORE-TEX FIELD COAT

In addition to the 3L main fabric, the jacket features a packaway hood made with GORE-TEX Active™, a plethora of waterproof pockets and fold away hi-vis tabs for signalling on your bike.

Part of our collection of adventure apparel designed to be most at home when you’re far from yours, the Explore GORE-TEX Pullover delivers reliable waterproof protection on multi-day trips and bikepacking adventures. For durability, the jacket is constructed with GORE-TEX Active – a 3-layer fabric with a newly developed lightweight membrane and a rugged outer textile tough enough to take a battering on the trail and be stuffed away in a bag when not in use.

EXPLORE GORE-TEX PULLOVER

With an under-the-helmet hood; a handy chest pocket which doubles as a stuff sack; reflective detailing for night riding; and even a valve core tool for repairs, this is a jacket created for self-sufficiency in the wilderness.

RAPHA + GORE-TEX FABRICS


GORE-TEX PACLITE® PLUS

 

With a new, abrasion resistant treatment of the GORE-TEX membrane’s inner surface, this 2.5-layer construction eliminates the need for a separate liner to create a thin, lightweight and packable shell for wind and waterproof protection plus exceptional breathability during high-intensity exercise. The membrane is laminated to an abrasion resistant outer textile for more improved durability versus GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™.


GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™

 

Developed to allow sweat vapour to escape more easily for exceptional breathability during high-intensity exertion, GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ features a unique 2-layer construction. With no outer face textile, water beads and rolls off the hydrophobic GORE-TEX membrane. And with one layer less, the GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ jackets are also superlight and quick-drying with incredibly low pack volume.


ACTIVE™

 

Combining a newly developed lightweight GORE-TEX membrane with fine 13-30 denier performance textiles and the light GORE® C-knit™ backer material, GORE-TEX Active is the lightest and most breathable 3-layer fabric in the GORE-TEX family. With improved next-to-skin comfort and exceptional durability, this fabric resists the rigours of regular use on or off the road.


GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®

 

Every garment made with GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ product technology is totally windproof, water-resistant and very breathable. The outer textile is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) coating for consistent beading, while the GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ membrane allows sweat vapour and excess heat to escape, keeping your microclimate in balance so you can keep moving in comfort.
