Promising but poor fit
Not a great fit. As others have stated, extremely tight cuffs! These were becoming uncomfortable just for the short amount of time I was trying on the jacket. Also, too much excess material in the lower back region. Maybe to accommodate the forthcoming Rapha Bum Bag?

The standard in weather protection
No frills, standard rain coat with Gore-Tex functionality. There are no pockets, the double zipper takes a little convincing, and the back is gusseted to accommodate a full jersey. There is little stretch, so size up for sure. Cuffs are nice and tight, with stretch—when removing the jacket, just turn them inside-out like you would a glove for ease. The jacket doubles well as a wind jacket in freezing temperatures.

Strongly recommend
Excellent jacket. Used in both Dolomites and Alps. Works equally well as a wind jacket for descents and to protect against the rain. Lightweight so negates need for gilet and arm warmers. 11 stone 12 lbs 5 ft 11 size M.

Fantastic jacket 5⭐️
Purchased last minute prior to a week long trip to the Alps, used a number of times to keep the chill off on the descents as well as on a couple of wet days. One day we had a spell of ‘biblical’ rain descending off the Col de Vars and this jacket was simply amazing - fully waterproof and shakes dry at the end of the ride. Packs down small, fits great on the bike, highly recommended.

Fab jacket that repels the water!
Worked really well in a heavy downpour and keeps you warm. Bear in mind that a tempo effort will make you sweat somewhat, but you can't have everything. It is a great fit for cycling and better than my cheaper DHB rain jacket. The wrists are pretty tight, so I have to stop to remove it, but it does stop the flapping and bellowing that you would otherwise get. Looks very smart.

Great fit, looks good, excellent waterproof qualities. It will boil in the bag if you ride efforts in it. Goretex is good but is not a miracle worker

Poor quality product
Sadly I am now on the 3rd jacket in 12 months - a dodgy zip, dodgy elasticated wrist band, and now the reflective strips are coming off!

Great jacket with only the features you need.
Simple and lightweight rain jacket. Completely water proof but lacking a lot of features for the price. Not a single pocket on the thing, and lacking some styling from other jackets in the Rapha lineup. With that said, if you are looking for a function over form jacket, this will keep you dry.

Excellent choice for a rain jacket
Finally got a chance to wear my new Rapha Pro Team Gore-Tex rain jacket on the Rough Road 100 Gravel event in northern Illinois. Conditions were very windy (gusts up to 40mph) with light rain and sleet. Temps were in the mid to upper 30s. When ordering I sized up (from med to large) based on recommendations and this jacket did fit well over my winter jacket even with my winter jacket back pockets loaded with food and spares. I did find the sleeves to be a bit long but not a deal breaker. The jacket was very comfortable, and I was very pleased to find that when I changed out of my kit at the end of the event I was not soaked. So even when wearing a base layer and winter jacket underneath, the Pro Team Gore Tex Rain Jacket did its job allowing my torso to breath while keeping me relatively dry (granted it was not pouring rain). I find the jacket to be lightweight and the quality to be excellent. If you do not plan to wear cold weather gear under this jacket I suggest you order in your normal size.

High quality rain jacket.
High quality rain jacket. Well fitted, doesn’t flap that badly. I have ridden in the rain twice and it performed admirably on both occasions. As with all jackets I am cynical about its longevity, but we will see. Bought in a sale so somewhat less of an issue.

I expected more from this
the sleeve cuffs are uncomfortably tight and there isn't even a single pocket (not even on the inside), and it wouldn't hurt to have a hood either. Pretty overpriced for what you get.

Outstanding quality but pricey.
Good or bad i haven't needed to use it as yet. Quick quality review is pleasing but is what i have come to expect from Rapha and is why the extra you pay is tolerable. Everything i buy from Rapha meets my expectations. Very pleased as always.

I love it, so will you
At first you might think ‘oh man, I spent how much money on this?’ as you unwrap the jersey from its tiny packaging. But, like all good things in life, you’ll slowly come to love this beautifully made, lightweight, rainproof dream garment.

Bright Colour and Good Fit
Excellent fit and keeps you dry in heavy rain. This jacket repels water like a shakedry jacket. No unnecessary pockets or zips to keep the pack size small. Yes the cuffs are quite tight fit but it keeps the water out. Highly recommended.

Excellent. Period.
Finally a jacket I can have with me in case of variable weather. Keep wind/rain out, but breathes somewhat normally. Coming from owning the Racecape - this is a far cry from the 'plastic bag' effect of sealing in your sweat and heat.

Men's Pro Team GORE-TEX Rain Jacket
This is a great jacket which I have used in horrible conditions and it certainly keeps you dry and warm. I have one complaint about it and that is the cuffs are extremely tight which makes the jacket a pain to get on and off.

Does exactly what it says. Waterproof and breatha
I've done a couple of hundred km in the rain in this jacket so far. It has been completely waterproof and is a clear improvement from my previous non-breathable jacket.
Fit is fine. It is in line with other Rapha fitting.

Really good jacket!
Lightweight, stylish, breathable, and most importantly, kept me dry as a bone throughout a rainy day. Only wish is to have one or two pockets to avoid having to unzip the jacket from the bottom to access my jersey pockets.

Works as intended
Picked this up as the shakedry was discontinued. Wish it was a bit thinner, but it’ll fit in a jersey pocket if rolled / folded properly. Keeps wind & water out, great fit, no complaints. Very happy with it so far.

Top quality rainwear
Top quality fabric and well made, sized up as normal sizing would restrict wearing a warmer layer underneath. My only criticism is the failure to supply a drawstring bag. Penny pinching on a very expensive garment!

Water proof but not breathable
I have been on a few rides with this jacket in mild damp conditions. I found the jacket was very waterproof but not very breathable. A bit disappointed and am struggling to work out when best to wear.

Great very lightweight jacket
Total wind and rainproof with an excellent tight fit i.e. no flapping on the back or sleeves. I am wearing the same size as my other Pro Team apparel.
The bonus is the double zipper.

Completely dry after 180 km riding in the rain
I rode 180 km in the pourring rain in this jacket, and my upper body stayed completely dry. Excellent jacket. I also have a Core Rain Jacket, which is ok, but this outperforms it.

Excessively tight
Excessively tight. Will not fit warm layers underneath and very difficult to remove the jacket especially at the shoulders. Excellent water protection and heat dissipation.

Great Waterproof and Windproof Jacket
Very stylish and very effective, it is totally waterproof and so far completely breathable. My only 'niggle' is the sizing is a bit 'snug' and you need to go one size up.

Pricey but effective.
For such a lightweight jacket it does a great job of keeping the water out. Breathability seems good too. I went a size up from the core range and it fits perfectly.

Great piece of gear. Fits snug. No frills. Just wind and water proof. Very packable. Perfect for days on the bike when you don't know whether or not you will need it.

Great jacket for cool rainy rides
Kept me dry and warm during long rainy early season rides. Fit is spot on. The cuffs are snug which makes taking the jacket off while riding a bit tricky.
