First Impressions: Rapha Gore-Tex Infinium Trail Hybrid Jacket for MTB

to its Performance Trailwear Collection for MTB. It is, first and foremost, a water-resistant jacket designed to keep the wearer dry come the worst of winter, but its Gore-Tex Infinium shell is said to produce the perfect harmony between impermeability and breathability, allowing the sweat produced during your hard efforts to escape. Here are our first impressions of this $375 USD piece of winter riding kit.

It’s lightweight; my Size Small weighed in just 280g. I guess the absence of the extra pockets reduces the amount of material and zippers necessary, helping to keep weight down. I really like the breathable panels that run underneath the wearer’s armpit. It tapers off as it extends down the wearer’s side, and as it extends down the inside of the wearer’s sleeves. It was the wettest part of the jacket on my most recent rides, demonstrating that the sweat I was generating was managing to escape. I remained warm and dry on my rides, despite putting in reasonable effort.. The hem drops low down over my bum to fend off any spray coming up from the rear wheel.
