To make an outer layer that’s lightweight enough to store in a jersey pocket but sufficiently weatherproof to guard against rain and wind, Rapha spent two years developing its own unique, three-layer fabric. At 100 grams per square meter, it’s the lightest waterproof layer Rapha produces and the foundational ingredient in the Pro Team Lightweight Rain Vest. The vest falls into Rapha’s clean and minimal aesthetic yet still packs plenty of function with a waterproofed rear pocket, reflective paneling and a two-way zipper. The result is an ideal piece for cyclists who ride despite questionable weather forecasts.
