Good all-round windbreaker (wait for a sale)
Great value windbreaker (on sale!) Packs down really small and super convenient to keep in any bag in case the weather turns cold. Doesn't look excessively "bikey" either, so it's not embarrassing to wear off the bike. The only downsides - there's a lot of material on the back of the collar/hood which I notice while riding, and the two zippers are very close together and I frequently grab the pocket zipper when I'm trying to unzip the jacket.

Great multi-purpose jacket.
Awesome multi-use jacket. I’ve been using this jacket for the last couple of months for all sorts, in fact mostly for running. I’m mostly a roadie / gravel rider but I can see this jacket being used lots for commuting and hopefully some bike packing once Spring arrives and my wife agrees.

Does what it promise
It is a nice jacket when the weather turns a little colder but you do not need a warm jacket or jersey. It just keeps the chill out from your body between 5 - 12 degrees . I like it so much that i often wear it before or after biking as a cusual piece of kit to stay a little extra warm. I think one of the pro's is that you can make it very compact to stow away in your pack or strap it on to your bike.

A good jacket.
It's a nice jacket that will hold of the wind and not getting too sweatty. It has also the neat feature to be able to get stuffed into it's own pocket and strapped on the frame when not needed. The fit is quite roomy so no problem to get protection under it, but I would prefer a slighter slimmer fit. The material is thin, but at the same time not fragile so I hope it will survive a bruse or two.

Perfect shell with one caveat
Perfect shell for light rain and wind. Hits perfectly in Spring/Fall rides as an additional layer when the temps can’t figure out how to behave. I’ve used this jacket twice and it’s been perfect both times. Both rides were mid-30 to mid-40 degree gravel rides and it was the perfect choice as an outer layer on both. Needs pockets though! Otherwise, great investment and excellent quality.

Versitile, lightweight and packable.
After a couple of rides my first impression in a few words is versitile, lightweight and packable. A light drizzle is ok. Nice layering with merino undies and long sleeve trail shirt. Still a bit warm around 10 degrees, but ok if intensity is low. The sizing is fairly large, but I am new in the world of Rapha MTB/offroad goodness. I like a bit more relaxed fit in this type of cycling.

A functional jacket for the multipurpose rider
I ordered size Large (189cm/88kg). The fit is great in terms of body length and arm length. The jacket is lightweight and packs down into itself which is a nice feature. While it is not water proof to any great extent, it certainly takes some time to let water through. Perhaps the standout feature of this product is situated around the neck and hood. As a rider of different bikes I dislike hoods and necks that flap around in the wind and cause drag. The elastic around the neck of this product is quite taut which gives a nice tight fit around a buff or something like that. The hood is out of the way and remains tight too. The shape of the hood (or the depth to be more accurate) is such that it will also cover a helmet. I have used this jacket as a top layer in temperatures between -5c and +10c. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product, its fit and its versatility across various conditions and ride styles.

Rapha have a hit with this jacket!
Absolutely brilliant! I’ve bought many, many rain jackets in the past and this one is both rain proof and wind proof. I bought a Medium am 1.80m tall, 98cm chest & skinny, amply big enough. Am hoping to use it for both disciplines MTB & Road. Although have been on holiday with it and used it for mooching around the shops in too.

Perfect Packable Shell
This is the exact riding jacket I had been in search of for that unexpected afternoon thunderstorm. A must have for the Colorado Mountains. Fit is great, though I would size up from your normal T-shirt size. Packs down small and the included strap is a great addition. Shed water very well on my last ride.

Great sleeve length
I’m 6ft 5 and the arm length is spot on, decent hood, although I’d prefer it to be able to roll away. Great colour. I’ve marked it down as it’s a couple of inches short in the body.

Great stuff
Great jacket, lightweight, fits perfectly, slim arms and body to eliminate flapping but good length. Water repellency v.good and hood fits well under a helmet. Almost went for a medium but small fits me perfectly (height 178cm, 39" chest). Looks good too!

Too loose fitting
Great quality and super lightweight, however too loose fitting for cycling. Flaps around too much in the wind.

The jacket to bring 80% of the time
I'm using this jacket all the time, the frame strap works great an eliminates the need to carry a backpack. I like to ride up without a jacket then put it on to ride down. Also not a bad off the bike jacket. It's not going to work for cold weather days.

Great Addition to the Rapha Lineup
This is a great addition to the Rapha line up. It is effective in windy conditions and be worn around town. Ripstop fabric is tough but breathes well. Blue color is more expensive but the strip on the left arm stands out and add a little bling.

My favourite piece of kit
Wonderful lightweight jacket for chilly starts and quick downhill descents. Purchased the blue colorway and absolutely love it on and off the bike. I am 5'11 at 165 pounds and the medium fit perfectly with some room to layer lightly underneath.

Great Jacket
I bought this for a 128 mile round trip mainly in the UK along trails it was perfect with just a technical t-shirt underneath. Bought this in an XL which fitted great and also bought the blue in a large which fitted perfect.

Great jacket
Very impressed with this light weight jacket, super small packed size and very effective wind blocking, cant comment on how it performs in the rain yet. I am 5’10” 72kg and the large fits with room for layering up beneath.

Perfecte pasvorm. Stof niet buitengewoon
Fijn jack. Echt lichtgewicht, maar iets minder bijzondere stof dan vergelijkbaar jack van Fox of POC. Pasvorm is dan weer beter dan bovengenoemde merken. Ik heb van Nike of Adidas altijd L. Dan is hier de XL spot on.

Buy this if your even half thinking about it
This is a fantastic jacket. It is so useful. It packs into its own pocket and can go on strapped to the bike, saddle or in a jersey. Looks super. Pretty water repellent. Best piece of Rapha kit I've ever gotten.

Solid jacket at good price
It’s a nice light jacket, purchased for MTB & Gravel rides although I wear it in light wind and slight drizzle when on roadie, walking dog etc
Folds up really neat if required.
Looks trendier than I expected.

It's Perfect
Great outer layer for cooler mornings and light rain. It packs down super small and you can throw it in a jersey pocket or hip pack when MTB. It also doesn't feel like a trash bag and seems to breathe well.

Great Jacket
Great jacket. I've been wearing it both on and off the bike. I've got several compliments on it off the bike. It's a little baggy for road rides but it works and keeps you warm. Works great on the trail.

Nice little wind jacket
Perfect for taking the edge off on chilly rides, I ride gravel and like to keep it light, this ticks all the boxes and the strap is an awesome option when my bags/packs are already full, love it

Commute to Trail/ great Trail Jacket
It just works. Loose enough for the commute to the trails. Quick and easy to pack and then makes the ride back (I have to ride on the road) for 15 minutes after just so much more comfortable.

Great lightweight jacket in look and feel.
Best lightweight jacket ever. Actually not really using it for riding, but more to wear as a light and stylish jacket for days where keeping the wind out is important.

Taken on Every ride
A true wind stopper jacket and even performs well when you get caught out in those long light rain showers, packs away small and can strap it to your bike with ease.
