Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Rapha Pro Team Long Sleeve Gore-Tex Infinium Jersey could easily be called a jacket—it’s a capable top layer with a streamlined, race fit. Breathability is excellent, as is its ability to fend off snow, rain and mixed precipitation. The fit is snug—perhaps too snug for some—and the pockets are small and hard to reach. For the right rider, however, this is a workhorse performance piece.

The United States Postal Service has a famous motto: 'Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.'

Were the postal service seeking recommendations for outerwear, I would point them in the direction of the Rapha Pro Team Long Sleeve Gore-Tex Infinium Jersey as a top performer in nearly all of these conditions, not to mention the addition of the aerodynamic benefits of a close-fitting garment. Think of the improvements in efficiency!
