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.

One of the things that really used to piss me off was my old local Facebook group being full of drivers warning each other about speed cameras. It...
I expect the chap was a cunt in general who the management are glad to see the back of.
I'm not sure if you have got my point. By fault of the drivers I mean that most deaths are purely down to driver error, not looking etc or driving...
Would definitely go well with the Hoxton* Beard. * or Shoreditch.
True...a decent fan is a must have. And yes cassette etc does need a bit of maintenance but it doesn't get the same grime etc as it does outside
Crush it. Immediately. And 6 points on their licence and a fine on top for being an arrogant arsehole.

Clearly they're not riding in plain clothes - as opposed to lycra / hi-vis - because then drivers would spot they weren't "cyclists". If they...
