It’s a commuter jacket after all
Bought this a few weeks ago and despite some weird reviews from some Rapha boy racers; it’s actually very good. It’s described as a ‘Commuter’ jacket and as such is perfect. Light weight, good fit, and quite effective in light rain. If you want something for your weekend ride in Richmond Park then get something else. For everyday cyclists (like me!) then this does the job. Does what it says on the label

Perfect jacket great price.
This jacket was exactly what I was looking for. It’s a perfect mix between an everyday light waterproof jacket and a riding jacket suitable for the road. The water beads right off and it’s not sticky hot. Great item at a great price.

Perfect Jacket for Pandemic commuting
Great jacket for all round commuting in the wet and windy condition. The pink makes everyone aware that I am on the road. It's not the most breathable jacket so be aware of the temperature and the distance that you are traveling ( aka if you don't want to arrive in a sweaty mess then maybe this isn't for you. )
Overall this is a great jacket for those who wants to look cool and be safe on the road.

Commuter Jacket for more than Commuting
The Commuter Jacket is utterly waterproof and windproof and that's great, but I wish there were zippers under the arms to provide a little ventilation. It's also far warmer than you'd think. In temps down to 35 dF, I wear arm warmers, a short sleeve jersey, and the coat. It takes a few minutes to get warm, but then there's no problem! It's a great coat, and I wear it when I'm off the bike too.

Straightforward jacket, runs huge
I've been spoiled with the Hooded Rain Jacket, this jacket is definitely much cheaper & simpler. It does the job but the zipper is pretty flimsy and the inside feels like the basic plastic-y stuff that will stick to your skin if you start to sweat.
The fit runs huge — I typically wear a L in Rapha stuff, ordered medium since it sounded baggy, had to exchange for a small.

Good lightweight commuter jacket
Nice, lightweight jacket, water repellent, more casual fit, very much commuter-orientated. Ideal for cooler but not cold days, I imagine would get quite sweaty in warm weather in a shower. Sleeves seem a bit long til you get on a bike then make sense. Fit as described, I’m 42-43” chest, wearing close. Would probably manage a couple of layers (shirt, thin sweater) underneath

Love this jacket
Love this jacket. To begin with It felt a little hot inside so it took me a while to start wearing it but now it has completely replaced my previous heavier weight commuter jacket and I wear it everywhere. It's basically a bright pink cagoule but i have never ever had so many positie comments about a piec of clothing from complete strangers. Weird but nice.

Excellent waterproof jacket for cycling & golf.
This jacket was recommended to me by my son. I now agree with him, it is excellent. He is a commuter cyclist in London & I am an occasional cyclist in Edinburgh. I now use the jacket to keep me dry on the golf course. It’s very light to carry & waterproof. Scotland is known for its weather & this is now my “go to” jacket to keep me dry, in all conditions.

Just what I needed
I was looking for a lighter jacket that would block the wind but not retain too much heat and this jacket for my needs exactly. I was able to ride with it through rain last week and everything the jacket covered was dry. My visibility was limited by the hood. It was difficult to look to the side while it was up, but that is just the nature of any hood.

Great jacket. highly recommended
Really great jacket. The colour is really vivid. The reflectivity works well. Its definately more a 'lifestyle' jacket, as the tail isn't very dropped and doesn't offer much protection at the lower back and I miss the back pocket or access to my jersey pockets. its also really flappy at speed. but its super comfortable and the waterproofing is great

Amazing on or off the bike!!!
Rapha definitely makes High Vis Pink look good on anyone! got a Medium and fits regular, so no need to size down or up, just go with your regular fit. Wore it to work and got a plentiful amount of compliments! An amazing jacket to wear either on or off the bike! The jacket looks great and the quality is top notch! as you expected of Rapha products.

Perfect for spring rides and being seen
I got the orange color to be seen at dawn and dusk, paired with the reflections at the back, I know I am visible to cars in less than ideal conditions. Gets a little clammy it high humidity but that is expected. The fit is nice with no wind flap, even with the hood out. I can’t wait to actually pack it in my work bag for commuting to work.

Great kit so far
Stylish and an Excellent fit, very good protection. Sleeves and the cuff a good length and keep out the wind big time. Possible (only) gripe is the main zip is very tight and needs both hand; one to pull and one to retain the other side of the zip channel. I’ll see how good it really is, by November. Longevity needs to be proved by then!

Quality for the commute!
Have worn this twice in heavy rain and it works really well. It looks great and the orange stands out and looks cool. It’s waterproof and breathable, does get a bit warm but i’ll take that as I’m not racing and I wanted a jacket that works on the commuter bike, more relaxed fit wise and I’d be happy to wear around town as well going out.

Commuter jacket that stops you looking Muppet
Love this jacket, very waterproof and slips on and off easily. The cuffs keep your arms warm and stopp the rain getting in. Also you can wear it to the pub without looking stupid (unless you look stupid already, sorry for you). The only slight gripe is the arms get a bit sticky, but the weather is awful at the momment so to be expected.

Great commuter jacket
This has become my go to jacket for riding to work. A 45K return. Currently in Melbourne winter, so temps between lows of 6-7C and highs of 15-18C. Great in those conditions. At those temps I'm wearing it with 2 under layers and thermal state is very good.Maybe a little sweaty when get to work. It will be too hot for summer I think. Windproof and water proof. The fit is exactly as described on the website. I have found other Rapha products, like the pro lines, too small, even if I size up. Great colour in orange - I feel visible and safe. If I have one complaint it would be the hood. It does have a strap to hold it in place when not over your head, but often wriggles free and can act as a parachute. Would be better with a smaller strap to hold it secure when folded away. The hood is excellent when you need it, like getting caught in a rain shower. Put it over your head and the helmet over that and one feels very protected from the adverse elements.

Too Pricey for what it offers
Looks great, really waterproof, fit a bit snug, good size hoodie, and nice to have extra length on the back to not show your 'a' crack..reflective logo on the back is barely visible, and zippers are a bit difficult to deal with and it could certainly benefit from more pockets, but other than is a nice commuter jacket..

Super soft fabric nice feel!
I bought this jacket more for commenting. It’s a relaxed fit which is great as mostly it will be worn with jeans and jumpers. The fabric is super soft and doesn’t feel crunchy or noises when you move about. It’s handy that the hood can be rolled up and stowed away. The jacket feels more expensive then the price tag

Ideal coat for many purposes.
This jacket is perfect for me in the winter. I wear it usually when riding my gravel bike when I don't really want Lycra on show. It was 100% waterproof in the recent storms. Has kept me warm and comfy in the icy winds as well. Also a great coat to wear casually, basically a top coat for many reasons...

Bargain waterproof jacket
I've had a few of these jackets for wearing mostly off the bike and they perform so well considering the price when compared with Goretex alternatives. I can't fault it, keeps me dry and I wear it nearly every day. The odd wash and reproofing and the jacket is back to full performance. Ideal for commuting too.

Love it!
I love this jacket. The fit is loose like a regular jacket which is great to be worn off the bike too. On the bike, I like it is water proof and I tested in the rain a couple of times already. This has been part of my daily commute since the day I got it and I plan on wearing it until the weather gets warmer.

Stays waterproof!
Already have a lightweight commuter jacket in size M, so went for the same size hoping the same fit, but these jackets have much more generous fit, replaced with S and all happy now. Jacket stays waterproof even after multiple washes in washing machine and apparently doesnt need any nikwax treatment (so far).

Great jacket for my commute
Been wearing this jacket commuting for the last 4 weeks. Where I live its now cold (3-7 degrees) and rainy. Its been keeping me dry. Really like the fit and the look. Can easily use it off bike aswell.
Guess it could be better venting, but that could be said of any cycling rain jacke.
Recommend this product.

Nice jacket
Bought this jacket, love the orange colour: very bright. Happy with fit, cuffs are great at keeping the cold out. Definitely to be worn with layers. Only downside is the zip feels a little stiff and I don’t want to force it, as the puller on the zip doesn’t feel very robust. Overall, I’d recommend it!

Awesome casual lightweight rain jacket.
Perfect casual but slim fit. I'm a medium in most Rapha stuff and this is spot on. Long sleeves thank you!! This is an excellent off-bike piece. Works great in the rain. Does not breathe well but to be expected at this price point, hence the off-bike recommendation. One of my favorite Rapha pieces.

The best
I bought this in pink because the colour I initially wanted was out of stock. When it arrived I loved it so much I have not taken it off since - I have literally gone on longer rides just to wear it. I even bought one for my partner who has a very similar obsession with his. Such a great purchase.

Well Made
This is a well made jacket for the price. I was impressed with the seams, they bonded much better than other outdoor wear at this price. The function and style is exactly what I pictured. While I typically wear a medium I purchased a large and it fits well and provides room for layers.
