Variety is the spice of life, so any route worth riding will have a bit of everything. From shaded forest sections and sheltered valleys to exposed ridgeline trails, sweat soaked climbs to windswept descents, varied terrain makes for varied temperatures. Throw in the chill of an early morning start and no single outfit will keep you comfortable throughout.
Conquering the conditions isn’t an option here, but adapting to them is. One of a selection of Rapha Performance Trailwear pieces that you can use to create a configurable outfit, the Trail Lightweight Jacket is ideally suited to days when the temperature is likely to rise and fall with the trail before you.
Made with a superlight ripstop fabric for maximum tear resistance and windproofing, it packs up inside the chest pocket and straps to your bike frame, meaning there’s never a reason to leave it at home.

PRACTICAL PACKABILITY
Not everyone wants to wear a Hip Pack or backpack. This jacket packs up super small and straps to your bike frame eliminating the need for more distracting storage solutions.
LIGHTWEIGHT LAYER
Made with a Japanese ripstop nylon that is tear resistant but incredibly lightweight for low pack volume and excellent breathability when working hard on the climbs.
WARD OFF THE WEATHER
Treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) coating for added protection against light rain showers and spray from the trail.
