Rain Jacket II
These are great rain Jackets, however the zip on my last one broke , close to the point where you engage both sides of the jacket in the zip mechanism before zipping, had to ditch the whole jacket because of this . More robust zips please Rapha

Great, does the job but is a sweat bag!
I do love the jacket, I seem to be in between a large and extra large, XL slight baggy.
It does what it says, my only issue is that it isn't breathable at all, it certainly makes you sweat underneath.
However, I would still recommend.

Great packable jacket
An extra protection on my morning ride, very easy to pack and fit in the jersey pocket, not very breathable as expected with the price. Haven’t tried in the rain yet but it seems well water proof, great style and fit, highly recommend.

Good jacket
Nice to wear with a good fit that does not flap in the wind. I am 181 and quite slim, wear a size small. No bells and whistles and a pretty simple design. Would benefit from having a small pocket for essentials and better ventilation.

Nice, but no double zip?
Saved up for Rapha as it’s not cheap but supposed to be the best. Bought this core jacket and was shocked to find zero pockets (I can understand this a little with water collection etc), but no double zip?!
Fashion over function.

A really good rain jacket
I really like this jacket, its waterproof, compact and fits well. Like all jackets you have to balance the amount of clothing you wear underneath it so you dont sweat too much, but it definitely keeps the rain out, great for winter.

Nice Lightweight Rain Jacket
Really nice jacket with good fit. Arm length was not short as many are and also has a comfort band to keep it sealed. Sharp looking style. Only negative which I already knew about was I needed an XL size where I normally wear Large.

Happy Biker
Both orders were gifts & the recipient was delighted with the quality & fit. The Rapha shopping experience from the time of purchase online to delivery was excellent. My expectations of this brand were delivered without any fault.

Excellent fit and quality
I have only just had the chance to use my new core rain jacket ll. What a fantastic product from Rapha. The material flexes as you move on the bike, so comfort is top notch. Definitely the best rain jacket I have ever ridden in.

Can't Fault This Jacket
Great quality, lightweight jacket. Easily packable/foldable, stands up to wet weather nicely. Fit is excellent with adjustable toggles at waist. Been using for a few weeks now in all weather conditions, would highly recommend.

Superb, Light and comfy.
This is just brilliant to fold up in the rear pocket after the day warms up. And also after the morning coffee break if the wind pick up or the clouds come in as we have cooled down from sitting I throw it back on....simple.

Fantastic jacket
I purchased this for my son who was cycling from Lands End to John O Groats. He has the most horrendous weather - serious wind and rain. This jacket performed exactly as it should and yet I couldn’t believe how light it was.

Say no to rain, say yes to staying dry
Very waterrepellent; easy to stow away in backpocket; the zipper also doesn't allow water to come in; I also use it as a casual rain jacket off bike, for example when it rains when I'm watching a football game in the stadium

Good design; weak zipper
The design and fit of the jacket are fine and as expected. However, after the second ride, the zipper foot stop broke and now the jacket is unusable. It's unfortunate when one weakness renders the entire product useless.

Rapha Core Rain Jacket
Rapha core rain jacket was a Christmas gift for my brother who is a keen road cyclist. He loved the jacket, knew the brand and the quality. Even the gift wrapping as an extra was worth it! Highly recommend this brand

Brilliant in Basics
Love it, been using it for two months now and it’s become my go-to garment for cloudy/wet/breezy conditions. Super easy to take off should a sudden burst of sunshine light your road as well, and compact to the fullest.

Trail tested
After a 50 mile grit and gravel ride in a constant rain, the Core II proved its worth. It kept me dry and comfortable. I bought mi s after getting one for my bride and she loved its light weight and comfortable feel.

Does the job and looks great
First Rapha product I've bought. Great fit. Looks great. Works really well. It almost has a water and mud-repellant coating such that after typical UK gravel roads in the wet, I come back dry and relatively mud-free.

Not the most breathable but lovely fit
Definitely will be sweaty in rainy weather with it on, but who is fresh after a cycle in rain? Fits nice. Those with big shoulders, the xxl isn't any broader, just has more space around the gut. Go your normal size.

Excellent against the elements
This jacket is fantastic against the elements. It keeps rains and wind out and because of it keeps you warm. The only thing I'm missing is some kind of pocket, either on the inside or a smart one hidden on the back.

Best Rain Jacket
This is the best rain jacket I have ever had for riding. It sheds all of the water and the fit is super good. It does not flap in the wind when you are riding fast. And the drop team keeps your back side covered.

GOOD DEAL FOR THE PRICE
Although this may not be considered their best rain jacket & can use a better ventilation system, it did keep me dry during a steady drizzle day (1-2 hour) ride. Visibility, the fit & the price are also spot on!

Core Rain Jacket
I bought the jacket 15 days ago I used it twice, everything was ok, but I would have expected for what I paid that the jacket was a little more consistent (it seems to be a trivial k-way but very expensive).

Excellent store away jacket for a rain shower.
I am 188cm tall approximately 86kg in weight this jacket is excellent fits very well and is a store away jacket to be used when you find yourself caught in rain shower. Folds away nicely and easy to wash.

Perfect rain jacket
Just the job, it’s my second one as someone wanted the other one do much they knicked it! Great for everything it’s needed for, wear with a long sleeved top for perfect winter riding and I live in Scotland.

Good enough for Norseman
Great fit, super light, and surprisingly waterproof. Wore it for most of the bike and all of the run at the Norseman Xtreme Triathlon 2023, including getting caught in a thunderstorm. And it looks stunning.

all round jacket
Jacket can be used not only on rain but on morning breeze especially when you come out of the door. Folds easily too and can be tucked on your jersey pockets. Go for size xs if your jerseys were size small.

Superb rain jacket , that goes with me always now
Really impressed with this jacket. It looks good, folds up into a pocket no problem, waterproof and fits nicely. Been out in the rain a few a times so far and it’s kept me dry. It’s breathable enough too.

A nice quality rain/wind jacket
A nice jacket, very visible and kept me warm in light wind and a passing shower, i like the inner cuff biult into the sleeve, instead of the normal elasticated finish.. only used on shorter rides so far..
