Nice jacket, good fit.
I bought the medium (normal size 10). Good fit, enough room to wear over winter jacket if raining. Only drawback is the tiny zip. Very difficult to close wearing gloves or with wet/cold hands.

Stylish and functional
Beautiful minimalistic jacket that can be easily packed in the rear pocket of the jersey. Material is very soft, yet seems durable from the outside. Haven’t been through much of the showers yet but keeps me protected from wind. The size though is little bit too big. As a road cyclist I prefer the fit o be tight than loosy - so I had to size down - could be bigger on the chest but still fits much better than my usual size of all other Rapha products I own and proudly wear.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Love this jacket. Does what it says on the tin. One observation is that it’s a shame the reflective stripe on the left arm isn’t on the right so that it’s more visible to UK drivers. (Especially in the darker colours)

Perfect description
Description is very accurate. It is not a slim fit, but that's perfect if you want to wear something extra underneath during winter.

Almost perfect
Bought this a month ago. Vents, weight, color, water resistance and small details like fleece lined wrist openings make this almost Rapha perfect. The neck of the jacket is a bit stiff and a little too high —distracting.

Great sport fit
I am loving the new Core Rain Jacket from Rapha. I love the fit--long arms and not-too-tight elastic to hold to your wrists. And the back is also long so that you feel great coverage when in the cycling position. It is a light jacket but great for wind protection and easily stowed in a rear pocket. Great product!

Good wind-break jacket
Color different than website shown, much darker and a bit of coffee tune than brick red, which came as a surprised, because usually rapha products are true to description. Other than that, I'm happy with the super light quality, and it fits well. No pocket though.

Good invest, approved
Love the material, lightness and smart solutions like placement of zipper. A packable option e.g.: to fold it into its pocket would be a nice add, but still fits nicely to your jersey, if rolled up.

Great features; great looking jacket.
I was looking for a packable rain jacket that breathes. Found it in the Core Rain Jacket II. It kept me dry in a fairly heavy rain shower and I did not overheat. Love it; love the quality.

Great little rain jacket!
Fantastic lightweight jacket with excellent coverage and rain protection. The length in the back covers very well and helps protect from the backsplash of the road.

Nice jacket
For rainy Washington the jacket is a must! Can’t avoid misty weather around here even when I choose not to ride in all out rain. This jacket fits the bill.

Great jacket
Really pleased, love the fit (I'm a UK10 and S fits perfectly) and it's super waterproof. Only criticism is a zipped breast pocket could be nice

Loose fitting.
I ordered a small but could have gone one sized smaller. I am typically a size 8-10. Stylish jacket, great wind protection as well as rain.

Simple but nice
Keeps the rain out, and I didn't get too sweaty either. Love the olive colour. Would be better if it had just one small pocket though.

Good for light rain
Sleek and fits well. Rolls up small and easily packed. Not in the slightest bit waterproof though when rain gets heavy

Almost perfect 😊 and cheaper than gore Tex
All day really heavy rain ! it kept me dry apart from a little bit soaking up sleeves and down around my neck.
I will remember to keep under layers away from cuffs and I will probably try to never wash it just incase
Fits in back pocket and my normal size fits me well
Negative, if you over dress and work hard you will sweat like any jacket
Get the layers right 👌

Really nice cut and design aesthetically
I ordered the small in this but would usually take a m in the souplesse rain jacket. Great fit.
It's very light weight compared to my previous rapha rain jackets and will easily pack down to a back pocket..I'm not sure how effective it is in the rain as I haven't ridden in rain yet.

The best purchase ever!
Love this jacket!! I am generally quite scared of wind and this jacket changed my cycling so much! I just starting and having it one gives me way more confidence and safety than I ever had on a windy day! Fell in love with Rapha quality at first sight!

Would be 5 stars if it had a pocket!
Love this jacket - it’s really waterproof and wind proof without making you overheat. I’m a size 10 UK and went for a M which is perfect over a thick jersey or jacket. Only annoying thing is a lack of pockets so you have to stop and take it off if you want to get anything from your jersey back pockets. Otherwise, can’t fault it.

Great breathable windstopper and rainjacket
This jacket is super lightweight and can be folded up easily to fit in a back pocket. It works great in windy conditions and also the rain (as far as I have been able to test it). My usual size fits perfect. It's not super tight but that is ideal for varying the number of layers underneath and using this jacket in every season.

Rain jacket.
I am 5’6”, 135 lbs, and not buxom. i ordered a small, but it was tight in the arms and shoulders so returned for a medium which fits well. I wish it had a pocket, at least an internal pocket. Thought I wanted a hood also but have ridden in the rain and not missed that. It is waterproof, folds up small and is very light.

Great rain cape!
Finally a nice rain cape! Tried about 6 and. None were right but this one is fab. Very lightweight and packs down small. Nice elastic cuffs, dipped hem at the back. If anything a bit on the big side. Wore on the Dragon ride in a downpour and kept dry but not sweaty inside. Also looks good - obvs!

My best cycling rain jacket yet
I’ve only worn this jacket 3 times but I love it. It’s so light you barely know you have it on. The rain just pours off it. I’m normally a M but opted for a large to allow for extra layering and I hate feeling claustrophobic. It’s perfect. I’m 5’5.5” & a UK 10, normally.

Gravel, road, do-the-job and feel good Jacket!
Scottish spring and summers needs a light, packable jacket to keep you shower dry, been seen on road and gravel whilst looking good, this is it! It's not super tight but it doesn't have 'flap in the wind' bits either. Gorgeous soft cuffs. Always feel good pulling it on.

looks good. Feels good. Versatile.
Bought this for my wife after she borrowed my Endura jacket a few times. She loves it. Super light weight. Nice supple feel. The shaped fit is very atractive. She's taken to using it as her go-to rain/wind shell for off-bike activities as well.

Size beware
2 months before this I purchase: WOMEN'S CORE WINTER JACKET, so I bought the same size for this rain jacket. Ouch, it was like a parachute. Had to return it and repurchase a smaller size. It would be great to have continuity with their sizes.
