Race Rain Jacket Grey

I ordered this jacket a few months ago to use during cold and rainy days. I’ve worn it during rides in the Flanders Classics (Belgium) and the Vosges (France), in all sorts of conditions — from snow and rain to warmer days with heavy showers. Not once did I feel water getting through the jacket, even during rides of over four hours in harsh weather.

Hands down, this is the best rain jacket I’ve ever owned. It holds up in the most brutal conditions. I’ve combined it with warmer layers underneath, and it’s easy to remove and store comfortably thanks to its compact packing size — very convenient. The fit is tight, but good (I'm between L and Xl, and the XL is tight).

Also — thank you, Attaquer, for making jackets that are subtle and don’t scream your brand name across the back or front. This is one of the few cycling jackets where I don’t feel like I should be sponsored by a company just chasing Instagram posts.

Excellent wind deflection, only been caught in lite showers but stayed totally dry. I really like the forearm zippers, especially the placement as it doesn't restrict wrist motion or create a pinch point. Some years ago Rapha made a jacket with an absolutely horrible forearm zipper, it was a huge zip and the tab pushed into the area just behind the thumb in hood and especially drop position...def not designed by a cyclist. I really want to give this 5 stars and wish 4.5 was an option because I want a slight droptail on any rain jacket design. This jacket is form fit and when it's all closed up (and if you ride a substantial bar drop/low position) the jacket rides up a bit in the back. THANK YOU for not putting external rear pockets on a protective rain jacket AND the 2-Way zipper is an absolute MUST for a shell piece! Attaquer nailed this one!

Really great jacket providing a completely waterproof layer. The cut and fit is perfect with a cord at the back to really keep out the road spray. Will definitely get a lot of use during fast rides and races in less than favourable weather.
