Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does what it says on the tin Excellent jacket, with a cut good enough for riding (not skintight of course, but fine for gravel/relaxed road/commuting), and great as a multipurpose rain jacket for hiking, posing by the pavé, hanging at the hellingen, and of course waiting outside in the rain at the pop up barista-mobile at your local tracklocross happening. Totally rainproof, breathable, and in the red colour allows you to merge into Victorian brick facades with panache etc., Recommended.

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 !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely fabric Like a duck's back - the pockets are nice and high so out of th eway of the pedal stroke. Only comlaint is that I have to fiddle with the zip to get it started.

Can you please confirm the waterproofing and breathability figures for the jacket as well as its RET rating?

Asked by: Vale0161
This jacket is made using a 3L performance GORE-TEX material with a minimum water entry pressure rating of 28 metres. It must also withstand a 500 hour continuous wash to ensure its durability and longevity and comes with the Black Diamond guarantee from GORE-TEX. The material is extremely breathable and falls into the <6 RET rating. The material is also treated with a durable water repellency on the textile surface and this can be reactivated using a tumble dry cycle and re proofed once the jacket no longer beads water even after a tumble dry cycle.

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.
