Rapha Commuter Jacket 2018 - 5.jpgRapha unveils Commuter Jacket
Rapha has today released a new Commuter Jacket that's intended to keep you dry and comfortable on the bike while looking good enough to wear off it.
The Commuter Jacket is made from a waterproof fabric that's exclusive to Rapha. It is said to be a hard-wearing and breathable microporous material — so it lets sweaty vapour escape — with a hydrophobic membrane and a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment. All of the seams are sealed to keep water out.
Check out 8 of the best high-visibility winter cycling jackets
Features include an elasticated hem, adjustable hood, zipped front pockets and storm binding at the cuffs. The off-centre front zip is water repellent.
You get a reflective dot pattern on the back, positioned to be visible just below a backpack, if you're wearing one.
Here's our guide to the best casual cycling commuter wear
The cut is relaxed compared to that of a sports-type jacket, the idea being that you can wear this off the bike too.
The Rapha Commuter Jacket is priced at £100 and is available in yellow, bright orange, hi-vis pink and black for men, and in yellow, hi-vis pink and black for women.

My LBS has mostly hybrid bikes, touring bikes and kids bikes. They will source a road bike for you if you really want one.
The leg injuries error is simply inadequate matching of cases to controls....
I think fatter lower pressure tyres absorb more.
I was told I needed the kickr climb and this isn't compatible. Which should I buy?
Combe Martin in uproar over crumbling roads and parking fines...
weirdly its stuff like this which is why I wouldnt, as I wouldnt want my subs to fund what I think is a wasted action....
This comment thread is a superb example of why I subscribe...
Got 'em. The controls aren't as straight forward as my aeropex headphones, but they do have more bass, if not as much as proper earbuds, but that's...
technically its still winter for just under another 6weeks so we're only half way thru
yes I think Zwift missed out by not making it volcano you could ride inside
