Rapha Hooded Rain Jacket

Rapha Hooded Rain Jacket

Rapha are well known purveyors of style on the bike, but with the Rapha Hooded Rain Jacket you can extend that to every day chic as well as on the bike practicality.

The Hooded Rain Jacket is cut to a more relaxed pattern than their normal cycling clobber, but it is still a slim fit so that there is no irritating flapping, just a flattering finish.

When riding in this jacket you can appreciate the hood that is designed to work under a helmet, as well as being shaped in a way that maintains your peripheral vision. Handily, you can even lock in a personalised fit with one hand using the cinch-cords with self-locking eyelets. On better days simply roll it away for another stylish look.

Another design feature for cycling is the the drop down tail that extends the water resistant protection of this jacket over an area that normal jackets would leave exposed. Cunningly, this is made hi-vis for added safety when cycling. When you are just wearing this jacket casually though, this can be tucked up so that no one will know.

Having travelled in style, you can arrive looking fresh and cool thanks to the breathability of this jacket, added to the laser cut under arm ventilation holes. Should you need more, the full length water resistant Vislon® zip gives you customisable control over your ventilation, but is still covered by a velcro-fastened placket so that nothing can get in.

These classy additional features all add on to an exceptional jacket that seals out the wind and water with the three-ply laminate fabric and fully taped internal seams. After all, the basics are the most important and the extras are what make Rapha stand out from the rest.
