Review: Rapha Men’s Brevet Gore-Tex Rain Jacket
The Rapha Men’s Brevet Gore-Tex Rain Jacket is light, very packable and offers immense waterproofing which makes it perfect for wet days or changeable conditions. The reflective stripes are a neat touch and also have near iconic status, plus the relaxed fit makes it ideal for those who aren’t always in a hurry. Rapha’s Brevet range is biased more towards long-distance or a less aggressive riding style than its Pro Team range, which is why you’ll find a more relaxed fit in this jacket than the one Liam tested back in January. > Buy now: Rapha Men’s Brevet Gore-Tex Rain Jacket for £265 from Rapha That’s not to say the…

Review: Rapha Men’s Pro Team Gore-Tex Rain Jacket
Rapha’s Men’s Pro Team Gore-Tex Rain Jacket is a brilliant option for biblical rain. The breathability is close to that of ShakeDry jackets and the fit is excellent. I would prefer more stretch in the cuffs, though, and I’m not totally sold on the claim this jacket is meaningfully more durable than ShakeDry as that’s already impressively durable. My initial reaction to this jacket was to question why you’d buy it over Rapha’s own Pro Team Lightweight Gore-Tex jacket, which uses the fantastic ShakeDry material. The answer, says Rapha, is for more durability. Gore-Tex ShakeDry is super thin and hydrophobic for unrivalled packability, but it can be quite delicate. Well,…
