Product Information

Full details

The Rapha Core Rain Jacket is an essential outer layer for female cyclists who need reliable weather protection without excess bulk. Engineered for cold to moderate conditions between 1°C and 15°C, this jacket provides a fully waterproof, lightweight solution that packs down easily for mid-ride storage. While it excels in performance and visibility, users should note that the regular fit may feel looser than race-specific apparel, which is ideal for layering but may not suit those seeking a skin-tight aerodynamic profile.

FAQs

What temperature range is this jacket for?

The Rapha Core Rain Jacket is designed for cold to moderate conditions, specifically between 1°C and 15°C (34-59°F).

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach to protect the technical fabric.

Can I fit this in a jersey pocket?

Yes, the jacket is constructed from a lightweight, packable material specifically designed to be stowed in a jersey pocket when not in use.

Does it provide wind protection?

Yes, the fully waterproof woven construction acts as an effective barrier against cold winds.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket features a regular fit, meaning it is designed for comfort and layering. It is not a race-fit, so it will feel slightly roomier.

Troubleshooting

Water seems to be soaking through the fabric.

Check if the jacket needs a wash to remove road grime or if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs refreshing with a specialized spray.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clean the track with a soft brush to remove debris or dried mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure the jacket is worn over your standard cycling kit. The regular fit is generous enough to accommodate a long-sleeve jersey or a thermal base layer underneath. To maintain the waterproof effectiveness of the polyester fabric, wash the jacket on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized waterproof coating. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding and storing it for extended periods to prevent mildew or material breakdown. Hang-dry the garment in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
