  • Rapha Women‚Äôs Core Rain Jacket. Ready for the heaviest of downpours whenever and wherever they strike, the Women‚Äôs Core Rain Jacket features an excellent female-specific cut that won‚Äôt cut down on those tight areo gains. Fully taped seams mean that not a single droplet with find its way through, while the zip‚Äôs slightly off-centre construction keeps winds from entering at this point too. The adjustable hem and cuffs will make you feel like a turtle in its shell, but breathability is delivered at the same time through highly effective venting underneath the arms As well as sensational weather protection, the fit of the Core Rain Jacket is just fantastic. Slightly longer arms, a dropped tail and shorter front makes it ideal for keeping up its excellent performance in the rider attack position. Elsewhere in the jacket, four reflective stripes keep you safe and seen as those winter evenings begin to draw in, the shaping of the rear hem keeps spray at bay and, perhaps best of all, its lightweight nature makes the Core extremely packable, which means you can have it close at hand every time you tear up the tarmac Features: Material: 100% NylonWaterproof fabricExtremely lightweight (124g small)PackableOn-bike fit: longer arms, dropped tail and short front for on-bike fitInner cuffs with lightweight stretch elastane fabricOff-centre zip to prevent draughts penetrating layersYKK AquaGuard¬Æ water-resistant zip with zip guard and garage for comfortFour reflective stripes: two on sleeves, two on sidesSix laser-cut underarm holes to allow heat to escapeShaped rear hem provides further water protection from tyre sprayBuy Rapha Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles.
