As the mercury slowly begins to plummet, Rapha is targeting warmth, comfort and protection with its new PFAS-Free Pro Team Shadow collection, which spans a long sleeve jersey, winter jacket and a packable vest for both men and women.
“When we developed the Rapha Pro Team Shadow range, we wanted to address some of the key pain points which riders experience during winter. The primary objective was comfort, which led us to focus closely on material choices. Our development process and decision making was informed by extensive climate chamber and real-world testing with pro and amateur riders. We opted for high-stretch fabrics for comfort across a range of body types and an all over membrane to eliminate cold-spots. This combination hits the sweet spot between protection and breathability, so you can head out and ride in changeable conditions while remaining totally comfortable,” says James Stannard, Rapha Head of Product Management.
At the core of the Pro Team Shadow collection, is a new proprietary PFAS-free construction, which comprises a single-layer, micro-pore membrane that’s designed to be breathable enough for use during high intensity activity, while also fully protective against wind and rain.
Weighing in at 240 grams, the Pro Team Shadow jersey features three rear pockets with reflective details that comes in four men’s colors (black, carbon navy, moss green and aqua white), while the women’s version is available in black and aqua white for $365.00.
Like the jersey, the Pro Team Shadow jacket also has three rear pockets and the same reflective details, plus an additional zipped essentials pocket, while the double zippers are designed to help regulate temperature during hard efforts.
Offered in black, carbon navy, bright blue and moss green for men and black and moss green for women, the jacket sells for $435.00.
In the case of the Pro Team Shadow vest, the packable piece comes with reflective details, as well as the same men’s and women’s colorways for $178.00.
