Rapha is boasting that its latest Pro Team Lightweight GORE-TEX Jacket is the “lightest ever” to come from the British brand, featuring GORE-TEX PFAS-free, three-layer ripstop fabric that’s both extremely lightweight and waterproof thanks to tapered seams, tipping the scales at a feathery 128 grams in a size medium.
“In 2021, our materials team started exploring new technologies that could match our performance expectations without the use of PFAS chemicals that can harm the environment… After years of global wear testing and refinements, Rapha released our first PFAS-free GORE-TEX jacket last Autumn. Now, we are proud to introduce this durably waterproof innovation to our Pro Team range. The result is the ultimate rain jacket for giving your best in the worst racing and training conditions, ” says Anne Weir, Materials Developer at Rapha.
Elsewhere, the jacket is equipped with a simple 2-way zipper for easy access to one’s jersey pockets, as well as refelctive detail along the tail.
The Pro Team Lightweight GORE-TEX Jacket sells for a hefty $390.00, which is availbale in sizes ranging from XS to XXL in black only.
