Reviews over the
Rapha Core Rain
4 / 5
Mackintosh against wetness from above
A rain jacket that keeps you perfectly dry in rain and showers, with the familiar rapha looks. Folded up a bit bulky for the back of your jersey. Sizing and fit that may be familiar to you if you also have Rapha shirts, trousers, etc. At lower temperatures, you will be able to get by with a thick base layer and long-sleeved jersey, but there is a risk of being tight in your jacket. Being water- and windproof means there is little to no drainage of your own exertion moisture, for long rides and multi-day trips I would consider a jacket that handles perspiration better (wicking).
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
The rain has just given in.
Sunday morning, the alarm goes off. It's 7 o'clock, and the night still has the landscape in its embrace. The weather forecast on your favourite app shows 8 degrees, and as if that wasn't enough, a risk of light rain is expected in 2 hours' time. It's at this precise moment that a scathing question casts doubt on your usual routine. "What if I don't go?" But you're not that person. Who gives up. Who admits defeat before the battle has even begun. No. Because you've got a Rapha Core Rain, a modern-day shield, a black breathable waterproof jacket. Even the little voice in your head has come to terms with the fact that you'll be riding this morning. And it doesn't matter if you're doing 100 km at an average of 20 km per hour, or if your average power output over 3 hours is just 2 watts per kilogram, you'll be riding this morning. In spite of the cold, in spite of the rain, and you'll come home dry, with a sense of accomplishment. All because you read this review and bought this Rapha jacket. And yes, as you know, black is slimming.

Ultieme ragenjack.
Perfecte regenjack makkelijk mee te nemen en absoluut waterdicht. Door de goede pasvorm merk je bijna niet dat je een extra jas aanhebt.
