Description

Pocketable protection keeps you ready for anything

Designed as the perfectly unobtrusive companion on adventure rides, the Brevet Flyweight Wind Jacket is an extremely packable lightweight layer that offers protection when you most need it. Stowing away into its own pocket, the jacket can be easily kept in a seat pack or jersey pocket, ready and waiting for whatever fate the road has in store for you, whether that’s a late evening downhill dash on an unexpectedly cool descent, or as a cafe-stop cover up. Made of an ultra light ripstop nylon fabric, the jacket is also incredibly durable. A storm placket over the zip helps keep out wind chill, and laser-cut perforations on the side panels allow moisture from perspiration to escape, preventing overheating.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great fit and wind resistance but.... As the title suggest it's a fab jacket right up to the point when you are warm enough to take it off and discover you are soaking wet from condensation. For the money this is not good and I have to say for the first time ever I am disappointed in a Rapha product! Hopefully you will read this Rapha and take a serious look at it. I have no issue paying for quality hence I shop a lot with you but I could probably get a similar result wearing a black bin liner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Light weight jacket If your looking for a lightweight compact wind jacket this is it. I always suggest to riders to pack a small jacket anytime you hit the mountains . It's perfect for slipping on while decending to keep chill off. A must for training in the mountains This is not a rain or extreme cold weather jacket . I'll list positives and things to keep in mind about this Wind Jacket. Positives: Lightweight, very compact, no flapping when zipped up (for me) , very visible with reflective strips, blocks wind after sweaty climb. No chill ( low 50's Temperature) Keep in mind: Very thin ( if you pull off while riding be smart, so you don't rip) Also, temperatures below 50 degrees you will feel the cold so layer well. It's just a thin shell. Zipper Pull is on the small side. You will get wet in rain or wet fog,

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Featherlight Emergency I picked this up to be my emergency jacket for when the weather cools or you reach the top of a high mountain. I find it serves this purpose well but does have it's limitations. I used it recently on trip to Socal where the temps were cool in the morning but warmed up in the afternoon. After a few rides I found that the jacket was no good for started cool rides in because it doesn't breath. After wearing it for 30 minutes i became really wet with perspiration, even at low intensity. It's great for when the temp drops suddenly, or when you reach a high elevation summit and must descend, but i wouldn't wear it as a riding layer beyond that because it causes me to get wet with sweat, then uncomfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely Light and packs to nothing I bought this a month ago and within days I was testing in Tasmania. Departing Hobart it was 14 deg C but by the time I had climbed Mt Wellington it was close to zero with snow showers. Packed in my back pocket on the ascent, it was the first item I pulled out for the cold fast 22km descent. Kept me dry and warm. Travel far pack light!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great wind jacket The debut for the jacket was a windy and below 60F day. Wore a long sleeve top along with the Brevet jacket. Rode for 55 miles and was warm and comfortable. Subsequent rides were met with similar experiences and remained relatively dry with a sudden rain. I'd recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best jacket ever for wind or light rain As with most Rapha garments, this shows excellence in design, fabrication and function. It packs very small but performs very big. Because it is so windproof, I don't need as many layers for cold and changeable conditions. Sizing is great, it doesn't flap (like many wind jackets) and has generously long sleeves and back to cover arms and lower back. Reflective elements add to safety in low light conditions. This is a must-bring part of all my rides.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Fit loose, loud and not breathable at all Purchased it as I really love the brevet insulated gilet bought almost 2 years ago. Unfortunately the L fits really badly even if I wear that size of other Rapha garms it's also really loud and it's not breathable at all. Even using on the descent only (temperatures below 10°C) when I get to the bottom of the hill (20-30 minutes) my jersey underneath is completely wet of moisture. Positive thing, Rapha customer service offered to take it back even if it was used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wind Beater I bought this a couple of weeks ago: I rode one day in an older rain jacket then the next day in this - stunning difference. Allowed excess heat out yet kept me warm. No excessive flapping in the wind either. It does run a little short in the body and long in the arms. Neither really bothered me once I was riding (only entered my mind when first trying it on).

Hi, I just purchased a Brevet Lightweight Jersey in an XL and it fit perfect.  (I'm 190cm / 94kg) Would you stick to XL or go XXL?  Thanks! 

Asked by: Sich
An XL would be the perfect choice as these items are graded to layer over each other

Is this black or maroon? Looks black on garment photo but browner on top of page photo. Would the XS size work for S size lady? Really disappointed you don't do ladies version!

Asked by: Miaw
This Jacket is now only available in Black. An XS would be a suitable choice for a Female. We are expanding our Female rider selection in 2018

Gday there, I normally wear a small in your pro team items and fits as a race cut (happy with that), I'm planning on buying the new brevet flyweight long sleeve wind jacket. Should I still with the small size, just don't want it flapping around to much.

Asked by: Troyes
Hi, very hard to be precise about size, special after reading your sizing statement as it seems you are the kind of order that does prefer a race fit and the Brevet range is more of a relaxed fit. Whatever size you choose to try, should you need to exchange, we have a 90 days return period on new/unused garments.

As this is lighter than the Brevet Gilet, is it as windproof? Are other parts of the jacket made thinner or from more mesh?

Asked by: nicdoye
Hi, this jacket is windproof. It does not have mesh panels, instead it has perforated under arms in order to allow for heat exertion.

Is the material breathable please?

Asked by: Sheffield Ram
This is a very lightweight garment and there are laser-cut perforations on the side panels allow moisture from perspiration to escape, preventing overheating.

Will the brevet wind jacket layer over the brevet insulated jacket? Is it the rain protection option within the brevet range?

Asked by: Peter12
This Jacket is a windproof layer and is not a waterproof option

Temperature range ? 

Asked by: Adrian23
This Jacket is used as part of a layering system and the temperature range is highly dependent on the other items worn. This layer is a Wind and water barrier rather than an insulation layer
