Rated 4 out of 5 by from YESSA THIS jacket has been in my expectation and finally Rapha turns it into reality. The color is perfect, as well the size. No any complain so far as I've not tested under heavy weather conditions yet , but at the first glance seems to be very well designed in the details. My only complains is the sleeve closure that could be weakness in strong rainy / windy conditions. It's a Must in my collection !

The product is durably waterproof, must reach a minimum water entry pressure of greater than 28 metres, as new and after a minimum of 500 hours of continuous wash. It holds the Black Diamond standard ‘Guaranteed to Keep you Dry’ The material is Ret <6 which is the extremely breathable range.

Where are the pockets of the jacket located and roomy are they? Further, what is the benefit of this new jacket compared to the Trail Gore-Tex Infinium jacket?

Asked by: Juergen Frankfurt
The pockets are located in the center on the front of this jacket. This jacket is fully waterproof, whereas the Trail Gore-Tex Infinium Jacket is not. This Explore Gore-Tex Jacket also has a rear vent for breathability and an adjustable snap-up hem that provides fit adaptability for on- and off-bike functionality. The hood for the Explore Gore-Tex Jacket is made to be worn under a helmet, rather than over like the Trail Gore-Tex Infinium Jacket where the hood fits over your helmet. Also the Explore Gore-Tex Jacket packs down small into its own hood so that it can easily be stowed away.
