Does what it should...
Does what it should and keeps you dry, heavy down pours not a problem, the hood is designed well to fit under the helmet. Cut and fit perfect. It’s not a breathable fabric (I wear long sleeves under it) but has taped seems. The off centre zip under the chin is a nice touch for comfort.

Jacket for the ages
Got this jacket a month ago. Was a little too big so swapped it for a smaller size. Now it's a dream. Commute in it everyday. Waterproof, super bright, comfy, and roomy enough for a few layers underneath. Recommend for anyone who wants to be warm and dry and noticed on the way to work.

Wateproof and hard wearing
I bought this for a lightweight summer jacket both on the bike for comuting, shopping gentle days and off the bike. It is typically well made and seems much more robust than I was expecting. A comfortable, relaxed fit that I can wear anywhere with excelelnt features for on the bike.

Quality waterproof rain jacket
Got this during Rapha's discount on its City range - really good value and looks great. Lots of reviews on here complain about it being a sweatbox and what not but if a fabric is to be completely waterproof (not water resistent) then breathability is always going to be a compromise.

Loved it but broke in 1 use.
I absolutely love this jacket. I had been looking and trying commuter jackets on for a long time. So I was extremely disappointed when the pocket broke, for no reason, on it's second ever outing. I just looked down it the zip had come away from the jacket and it cannot be used now.

Top quality as usual
I bought this jacket a little over a month ago now and I wear it as much when I'm working out as when I'm getting out of the city.
It's great and the quality is once again impeccable. It's very good value for money.
I bought it in pink but it comes in more discreet colours.

Best for general use
I use this jacket for general purpose not for cycling and I understand others' reviews on locking IN the moisture! It is effective at keeping rain out but you sure sweat from the inside. I now wear it as my raincoat when walking about and it is great - and stylish of course!

Great looking — but totally impractical
A well-constructed jacket that I’d expect from Rapha. But fabric doesn’t breath at all and back vent doesn’t provide sufficient ventilation. The result — you’ll end up just as wet wearing this jacket as You would have leaving it at home and possibly a lot more comfortable.

Great jacket!
Love the cut of this thing. Overall still a little on the small side so if you plan to wear more than a T-shirt when commuting I suggest a size up. I wear a large commuter jacket with a size medium commuter pullover underneath with some room to spare for flexibility.

This is a must have for any commuter, stay warm!!!
Great cut, Vibrant color, very breathable and great quality. The cut is perfect and the sleeves allow flex for those chilly days when you have to use gloves. This is a must have for any daily commuter rider or a recreational rider who wants to stay warm and be seen.

Great Value!
Very happy with this purchase! The fabric weight is perfect for the Pacific Northwest. Excellent water proofing and does a great job blocking the wind. The Xxl proved the perfect fit for my 6’ 225lb frame. This is a quality product that should last for many miles.

Commuter Jacket
I have this now a month or so. Good for visibility and rain etc. the Hood fastener is useless as the strap is too long to secure the hood in folded position. I'm surprised that this was not tested....When cycling it then catches in the wind and on back of helmet.

Great all around town/cycling rain jacket.
I have only ridden with this a couple of times, but works as advertised. Waterproof and comfortable. The cuffs around the sleeve are awesome, and it has a tight fit so that it doesn't whip around in the wind. Also can be worn around town while note cycling.

Perfect for on bike or on barstool
Quickly became my favorite jacket for a ride, rain or shine, and for food and drinks after. I'm 5'10", 165 and a medium fits well. Not too tight, not baggy - just right. Material is exceptionally comfortable. High value, especially for the price point. Buy it!

Great waterproof jacket
Yes, it fits a little large, but I believe that’s intended. On bike, one size down was perfect for me. I’m able to layer underneath for cold days, and the hood fits fine under my helmet. Cuffs are nice and snug. I’m 5’10”, 165lbs. and I purchased a small.

Light, waterproof, perfect commuting jacket
Bought this jacket for commuting in during the Scottish winter. Providing you have a good base layer and a winter cycle mid layer, this is the perfect top layer to keep the rain and wind away. The bright orange helps to be safe and seen. Great job Rapha...

Great fit, nice features. Poor small hood
Great fit, long sleeves and long torso, never like this on mountain gear. Pretty poor and plastic looking fabric, not breathable at all, no air cuts armpits (why?) , perfect for city rain. Hoods small and short on forehead , need a hat under hood and rain!

Léger, facile, utile pour le vélo et la marche
Acheté en taille XL, j'ai demandé le changement pour une taille L bien plus saillante. Le bleu est un peu sombre (plus que sur les photos) mais me convient tout à fait. Utilisé autant pour la marche que pour le vélo taf.
Encore un très bon produit RAPHA

Waterproof
Good fit, works well, definitely waterproof, just be sure to exert minimal effort while wearing as it is 100% plastic and breaths zero percent. So if you generate and heat it will trap any moisture resulting in damp shirt when arriving at desination.

Great looks. Perfect for off the bike.
As others have mentioned it's not very breathable so it's better suited for off the bike endeavours. That being said it'100% water and wind proof. It looks great and fits a bit bigger than most Rapha stuff. Perfect for the Pacific North West winters.

Durable but does not breathe at all
I like it how it looks in flashy pink, and it seems very durable. However, I’m having a hard time figuring out what is the weather I could commute in this and not have sweat dripping down my back. Next time, I will go for a more breathable option.

Very effective windproofing
Perfect for less strenuous commutes due to its great windproofing but lack of breathability. With a vest, shirt, suit jacket and commuter jacket I’m warm enough on my 30-minute ride to work in temperatures around 5 degrees. Very lightweight also.

Beautiful, but tight
The jacket is beautifully made. The backside should be longer to protect better against rain. Even with 1 size larger then I normally wear (in general needed with Rapha clothing is my experience), the jacket is still tighter then I would expect.

Great Jacket
A very stylish cycling waterproof jacket. Love the brown. Probably not as breathable as others on the market but not a problem for short commutes or if you don’t get too much of a sweat on. Light weight, easy to pack away. I would recommend.

Great Lightweight City Jacket.
Superb lightweight jacket that has proven to be all it claims to be. I've been out in both wet and wind conditions and this jacket has kept me dry and warm. Fit was to size and I expect to get years of use out of due to the apparent quality.

Commuter jacket
This is the second commuter jacket I’ve bought, as I think they’re so good. Really lovely quality and good features. They’re designed with a looser fit, but my personal preference was to go down a size and have a tighter fit.
Up to you!!

Good looking raincoat
Looking good as Rapha procuct always do. Colour is awesome. But… zipper is really tight. I understand that it is waterproofed but too tightly. I was surprised that inside is so sticky material. Not very comfort. It is raincoat indeed.

Great protection, mediocre zipper...
This a great, reflective, rain jacket that has been perfect in the winter months commuting. Only annoying thing is that the zipper is small and somewhat flimsy so I’m concerned that it might go in the future. Otherwise, great jacket!

Great Addition To Any Commuter’s Wardrobe
This like all Rapha products is super well made. It has nice reflective features and the hood is a nice addition.
Unlike previous rain capes from Rapha, this one is designed to fit over other clothes. I highly recommend this jacket.

Nice idea but pointless.
Ended up not wearing it as it doesn’t keep you warm in the slightest. All the other layers it suggests you wear means you just end up sweating g. It’s almost pointless and should offer insulation at this price even if it’s a little.
