Product Information

Full details

The Rapha Core Rain Jacket III is designed for cyclists who want to continue riding regardless of weather conditions. Its primary benefit is its fully waterproof and lightweight construction, ensuring protection from rain while remaining packable. A potential caveat is its suitability for cold to moderate conditions, making it less ideal for very warm or extremely cold, prolonged exposure without layering.

FAQs

What temperature range is this jacket best for?

The jacket is recommended for cold to moderate conditions, typically between 1°C to 15°C (34°F to 59°F).

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Close zippers before washing and do not tumble dry.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than cycling?

While designed specifically for cycling, its waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for other outdoor activities in similar weather conditions.

Is the jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket is fully waterproof due to its woven construction and taped seams.

How does the two-way zipper help?

The two-way zipper allows you to open the jacket from the top or bottom, enabling precise ventilation control to manage heat buildup during rides without fully exposing yourself to the elements.

How easily can I pack this jacket?

It is made from lightweight, low-bulk Japanese materials, allowing it to be packed down small enough to fit easily into a jersey pocket or saddlebag.

What is the fit like?

The jacket features a regular fit, designed to comfortably accommodate a range of body types and allow for layering over other cycling jerseys.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams are fully taped and that the main zipper is fully closed. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Hand wash with a suitable technical wash and re-proof if necessary, following product care instructions.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to move it. If stiff, apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur due to high exertion levels or when temperatures rise. Utilize the two-way zipper to increase ventilation. Ensure you are not wearing too many insulating layers underneath for the given conditions.
