Top quality jacket - does its job without any fuss
This is clearly a nice quality jacket - as you would expect from the price! I went for the nice high-viz version and it definitely stands out on dull, grimy days. I've used it once for a light shower and it dealt with the task perfectly.
If I'm looking for downsides - it's a little on the short side - the drop-tail does not cover your backside like some jackets do and it's a little bulky in your jersey pocket.

Good high vis rain jacket
My other jacket is a shakedry hence this review is only 4 star. The high vis on this is really good and found it be good for breatabilty but not as good as shake dry. It fits me well but the main draw back is I find it a warm jaket, maybe not boil in the bag leval but a lot waarmer than a shake dry jacket.
Would I recomend? yes it is a good hight vis rain jacket. but shake dry is better.

Breathable Raincoat
The rain jacket keeps you dry and breathes surprisingly well, even if you use the jacket as a wind jacket when it's not raining. The familiar reflective stripes from the Brevet collection and the zipper that can be opened from both directions are a nice addition to the jacket. The only improvement I would like that jacket would be a bit longer from the backside of the jacket.

Adventure waterproof
Lighteight waterproof jacket that performs well. Offset and 2 way zip is a winner as is the bright colour option. There is a generous amount of room around the lower body so layers underneath /winter belly should not be an issue. The cuffs are not easy to put over winter gloves and the jacket feels like its leaving your a£&e exposed (fit mudguards). I like the simplicity.

Gore-Tex rainwear
I’m converted to the fantastic value of Gor-Tex for cycling being windproof, rainproof and cold proof. However, the Gore-Tex raincoat would be helped with a couple of rear pockets and a tail that went over the back seat to make some attempt at keeping the bottom dry and a Velcro attached hood. I’m still looking.

Worked Perfectly in Wind and Rain
First ride with this rain jacket packed small in a mini frame bag climbed into clouds, whiteout and rain at 6000 feet. Put on the jacket as the rain picked up and cars pulled off the road due to bad visibility. I actually seem to dry out on the long descent and kept me reasonably warm despite the wind and wet. Very nice.

Keeps you dry but runs very small
It does keep you dry. I got an xtra large. Usually get large but saw it ran small. It is small. My XL is like being swaddled! Others who saw it on me thought it was a size small. I guess good for biking. Or mislabeled! And also allows me to wear another jacket over it. Not thrilled but has its uses. And it is well made

Staying dray with some style.
High quality rain gear which is very functional. Very close fitting but good on the bike. ZIpper is intended to be an upgrade but a bit awkward design and functionality. I ordered my typical size and it was too small. Returned for a large and while still snug, a proper fit on the bike if not on the street.

Rain Rider
Only worn this once so far but could not be happier with the waterproofness and breathability quality.
Fit was exactly as directed by the size guide. I was lucky to purchase during the generous discount offer period but would not now consider the normal price unreasonable. Looking forward to a bit more rain.

Great cover for foul weather. Super light not warm
I was expecting a lot more out of this. This think is a paper thin piece of plastic that doesn’t breath and definitely will not keep you warm. I suppose something more like the the Insulated Brevet Jersey.

Pretty hard to fault
Fantastic, great quality and the colour (violet) is stunning in the flesh, way more than I'm pics. Better breathability and better wind proofing than my previous jacket with a proprietary type of membrane. Only downside I can see is that the tail / back isn't as long as I'd like it to be.

It is worth the price
At first I thought it was a bit expensive, but since I first used it I don't take it off at all. It is light, it does not let air in, it breathes very well (it does not have a plastic bag effect), it is totally waterproof and on top of that it is elegant. It is worth the price.

A brilliant piece of kit
This is a seriously good piece of kit.
I've ridden in this in temperatures just above freezing, with just a merino base layer underneath, and have been toasty. Very breathable too, so no excessive sweating.
The construction is quality and the fit is perfect.

Good quality product but may not be roomy enough
Haven’t worn it outside yet but I feel like it’s a bit snug to wear with additional layers. So I am not sure if it’s great to use in winters. It should work well with a jersey underneath but with a jersey and a bare layer you may find the fit too tight.

Totally rainproof
Bought this jacket as a present for my partner. He absolutely loves it, it is a brilliant high visibility jacket. It is a really good fit and fits nicely over a jersey and another outer layer. Rolls up nicely for a back pocket also. Totally rainproof

Incredibly waterproof
Superb jacket, out in torrential rain during a gravel event and didn’t let a drop of water in. It is highly breathable and lightweight. Yes it is expensive, but you are paying for a quality product that will not let you down for it’s intended use.

The one rain jacket you need
Lovely compact jacket, that you can stick happily in your rear pocket or bar bag.
I haven’t as yet worn it in horizontal rain. Light showers have been great, water just beads and fall off. Top and bottom openings great bonus for ventilation.

Super packable, lightweight gore-tex mega jacket
Live in the French Alps and needed to upgrade jacket to cope with the sudden weather changes. I wanted a jacket that was both waterproof and breathable combined with lightweight and super-packable and this jacket ticks all the boxes.

Nice bright dependable goretex
Great as a packable waterproof, small enough to stow in your back pocket. I bought the red medium one and it’s a good bright colour. Two way zip is an excellent feature for temp control. Could be little longer at the back.

Top Drawer 👌
Wow what a bit of kit. Just completed a charity ride and encountered some biblical rain! This jacket didn’t give an inch. Is anything ever truly breathable…. No, but this is as close as I’ve ever come! Bravo Rapha 👏👏

Essential
Another quality piece of kit from Rapha. Don’t let the price scare you…this is an essential buy from a trusted name. Definitely go a size up. The jacket more than lives up to its billing.

Happy to have this.
Expensive but worth it. Was caught in a rainstorm in San Diego today. Was so happy to have this jacket to keep the rain off and keep me warm. It has no ventilation but that was ok today.

Its cold and wet out there
Great jacket, easy to pack down, keeps the water out and provides good wind protection. Also I have enough room for an additional layer under if the weather turns cold

A good waterproof
Nice to have a bright waterproof for a change. Good fit but perhaps tail could be longer. Fortunately no opportunity to test in the weather it was designed for yet.

Great jacket but a bit small.
Does exactly what it says it does. The medium is very tight so would recommend the large unless you have professional cyclist shoulders.

Good jacket
Waterproof. I’m 167cm and 67kg and I sized up to a medium. For me it feels better. Zip could be easier but that’s a small thing

Everything is awesome about this jacket except the droptail its too short therefore making the bottom of the jacket too baggy.

This is a great cycling rain and wind shell. It packs down to nothing but provides solid protection from the rain and wind.

Great jacket keeps dry
Great fit only improvement would be an elastic waste. Kept me dry in heavy rain and looks good what’s not to like!
