Winter riding transformed
The jacket has transformed my winter riding! I only need a base layer, a regular cycling jersey and this jacket to ride in as cold as 2C. It really cuts the wind too. The inside pocket is really useful on a winter jacket. My only issue was I had to get a Medium so it's by no means a tight pro fit on me, the Small (which I usually wear in Rapha) really cut into me under the arms and that was too much.

Great jacket, have room for improvements
This jacket is great. It's waterproof, windproof and has superb insulation. However, like other Gore-Text products from Rapha, the fit is odd. There is essentially zero stretch, which makes my usual sizing (Small) feels extra tight. While it is meant to be worn while on the bike, it's very uncomfortable standing upright with this jacket. The arms, especially, are very tight. In comparison to the newer Gore-Text Infinium long sleeve jersey, this is somehow even more uncomfortable than the jersey. I have been able to layer up with this jacket with a thermal baselayer + a midweight LS jersey, but it just barely fits.
Another major flaw is the lack of a third rear pocket. Not only it is lacking a third pocket, due to its minimal stretch material, the pockets are extra difficult to reach and take things out.
With that being said, I hope the next version will be stretchier and more comfortable.

The Perfect Jacket
This jacket is amazing. The Inner liner is a mesh, it's super comfortable, and helps with overheating. Plus, it's really nice looking.

Brilliant winter jacket
Love this jacket. It’s fully Gore-Tex so it’s waterproof, windproof and breathable. Insulated too. I fit in my normal Rapha size Large. When you first put it on, you realise it’s not a jacket to go a football match in. It’s a bit unforgiving. Once you’re on the bike, it’s perfect.
No need to pack an additional waterproof as I often do.

Snug and warm
Love it ! My last cycling trip was a 2 days cycling at a tropical country mountain range. Raining and windy but the jacket keeps me snug and warm even my shoes was soaking wet. 2 way zip works! Recommended. The only downside is its tight around the shoulder when stand upright but once you r on the bike hand on the bar its fits nicely

Amazing, versatile, jacket
Supremely warm, wind and waterproof, while being light and thin. Pro Team fit, Large for me (178cm, 85kg) same as all my PT kit.
Zipped cuffs work fine even with large watches underneath, for me
Rear pockets - would prefer 3 pockets, and find them a bit high when on or off the bike.
Still a 5 Star jacket though

Great jacket
I live in New England. I have not use this jacket yet and heavy rain. I did test it with a garden hose. I am confident it will keep me dry. I have used it about a dozen times late winter and early spring. I typically stay indoors when it’s cold and have a hard time finding winter gear or cool of riding gear that meets my needs. I wear this jacket 35° to 50°. I wear a summer base layer and a Rapha jersey underneath it. Completely meet my needs. It is definitely on the warm side near 50° And if you’re riding hard in that temperature, you will overheat.
I am 510 in about 155 pounds. The large fits me just right. I cannot get many base layers underneath it but as described above it is perfect for the temperatures. I am using it in.
I was very tentative about spending this kind of money on a jacket when I know I spend most of my time and doors when the weather gets below 50°. I am completely satisfied with it and I am more likely to go outside and cooler temps with a jacket on.

A Suitable Rain Jacket
Rapha has been my favourite cycling clothing brand for many years. It still is after this purchase. I had tried and failed to get into the pro fit rain jacket, which was disappointing, and so returned to the regularly sized core product. It looks and feels good. It keeps me dry in the rain. I am happy.

Disappointing.
Awful fit, very uncomfortable across the shoulders and tight in the arm.

Best Buy Ever!
This jacket is a must have - if you life in a country where is gets cold and rainy in the winter. Last weekend I rode 3h in the rain with a lot of wind - temp 3 degree. The jacket saved my ride. I stayed warm with only one merino shirt on. I never write recommendations but this one is worth it!

Go to jacket
Great jacket for all round winter conditions. I've used it once so far, but this will be the jacket I wear for the majority of my winter rides. Great light weight jacket with exceptional warmth. I did size up for this. Normally I wear small at 170cm, but had to go medium for this.

Lanky Alien's Review
As others have stated the jacket is wonderful but because of the super waterproof material there is no stretch. I'm a tall skinny rider 6'5 (195cm)at 180lbs (81kg) with long arms and the sleeves are the perfect length for me (size Large). Rapha's Pro team jacket's sleeves are a few cm too short compared to this jackets sleeves. I love the zippered sleeves as it creates a seal with your gloves and you can open them up if you need more ventilation. Getting into the rear pockets is a bit more difficult but still doable. The jacket is long enough in the rear which was surprising to me as most jackets for my height are super short. The jacket is cut to on the bike position but any rotation (looking back) and you can tell the material is not stretchy or flexible. Performance wise the jacket is excellent, I took it on a ride under 35 degrees F (1.66c) with a medium thick base layer and was cozy on a zone 2,100 mile (160km) ride. Great Warmth with awesome ventilation. Overall I'm very happy with the jacket and would recommend it!

Men's Pro Team Insulated GORE-TEX Rain Jacket
Cannot speak highly enough of this jacket. I pondered around on the web for months trying to find a jacket. Settled on this. WOW. Breathable warm and ridiculously waterproof. Cycled in +14 down to -3 so far. Fantastic at these ranges so far. Worth every penny.

Great tech and fit - but for the neck
Awesome materials and design. Generally great fit, but the neck is just too big. Glad I followed the advice to go up a size - might be different for an actual pro. Jacket is surprisingly flexible in temperatures and like insulation makes a real difference.

Great jacket with cold weather bonus
This jacket overdelivers. Paired with a long-sleeve thermal base layer, it's working for me sub-freezing (25°+). Fit is consistent with Rapha sizing (6'4" 185lb wearing XL). Haven't had enough rain in the past few months to speak to waterproofing.

The only winter jacket you'll ever need
I shopped around fairly extensively before I bought this - as much for warmth as for rain protection - I've used it with a l/s merino base layer and l/s jersey down to around -5 degrees C and stayed toasty. Brilliant jacket.

This had to live up to my old Rapha Hard Shell
I bought this to replace a 10 year old Hardshell which I damaged in a crash. It had a lot to live up to but so far feels like it breathes better and is more insulated. Its a little more racey in cut but it feels great.

Protective shell
170 cm/64 kg M .is a perfect fit. Zips on cuffs work best with pull-over gloves. Room for base and mid layers. Tested down to 0C so far. Orange for high visibility. Impeccable goretex protection.

Outstanding Rain jacket by rapha
Outstanding water resistant and wind proof but breathing rain jacket as you would expect from Rapha. Have worn it in rainy and cold weather on a few occasions now and it didn’t disappoint

Great for low temps
Excellent product. Warm and dry even in miserable conditions. Back pockets are tricky to acccess because material does not stretch. But jacket is awesome for cold and wet weather.

THE go to winter jacket.
Quite simply, the best cycling jacket I've ever owned. Light, waterproof, windproof and warm for such a sleek jacket. Perfect for getting in the drops. Understated, but very classy.

Yeah it is pricy but it is 100% worth it.
I absolutely love it. Staying warm at -5 and can unzip it during climbs. Would be better if it had a zip tie like Castelli on the sides of the abdomen to ventilate if needed

Good jacket
Great fit, no excess fabric. High quality zips and goretex material. Time will tell about durability, but at present I see no reason to believe it will not last.

Best winter product
Although it is a very light and thin material, it has sufficient windproof effect and insulation inside, so it is warm even in cold weather without many layers.

174cm 71kg L싸이즈 타이트하다는 평이 있어 한싸이즈 업해서 구매 팔이 길지만 베이스레이어 또는 울소재 져지 입고 입으면괜찮아요
라이딩 자세에 맞추어 제작된 형태라 그냥 서있으면 불편하지만 라이딩할땐 괜찮아요 바람 차단 능력이 우수합니다
추천드려요

Try fit before you buy
Nice jacket although arma are a bit long. Recommended a large but maybe a medium would have been a of a tighter fit- bit flappy on windy days
