Versatile On and Off the Bike

Rapha's Lightweight Softshell Jacket is a staple of the traveling cyclist's wardrobe. We've logged literally hundreds of travel hours, tens of thousands of travel miles, and thousands of cycling miles using this versatile piece.

The Lightweight Softshell has never let us down: from snow in the foothills of the Pyrenees in early March, to light drizzle in Mallorca in late September; from 4 C mornings in Carcassonne, France, to 14 C mid-days in the Loire Valley, this jacket is a true trooper. It's so light you hardly know you're wearing a jacket, and it packs so tightly that you can tuck it into your travel bag or even back jersey pocket with little bulk. And, if you're cyclist with wanderlust for the world's great cycling roads, this jacket is refined enough to wear with a slick pair of loafers for casual evening wear without looking out of synch with the locals.
