Rapha Core Rain Jacket II - Black - L

The Rapha Core Rain Jacket II is designed for cyclists needing lightweight, packable, and reliable protection from rain and wind during everyday rides.

It features six ventilation holes under the armpits that allow heat and moisture to escape, helping to regulate body temperature.

While functional, the jacket has an ergonomic cycling fit. It may feel restrictive or have an 'off' look for non-cycling activities compared to a casual jacket.

Regularly clean the jacket according to the care instructions and reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads effectively on the surface.

The jacket is available in a range of men's sizes, including XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements.

The reflective details are designed for visibility and durability under normal cycling conditions. Avoid high heat during washing and drying to preserve them.

The jacket has an ergonomic cycling fit, meaning it is streamlined. While you can wear a base layer and a thin jersey, a very bulky insulating layer might feel tight.

Ensure all seams are fully taped and the main zipper is properly sealed. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the water is beading less effectively on the surface. Check care label instructions; improper washing can affect performance.

Open the underarm vents fully. Consider wearing a lighter base layer underneath. If the weather is very warm and only slightly damp, this jacket may be too warm; it's best suited for cooler, wet conditions.

Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Avoid excessive heat when drying (e.g., direct high heat tumble drying or ironing). If minor peeling occurs, avoid further use of heat. Minor damage may affect visibility slightly but does not compromise the jacket's core function.
