This is the hard to find "lighter" version of the classic Rapha softshell.
Perhaps the "lightweight"moniker is goofing everyone up. IMHO the LW softshell weight is close to that of the softshell fabric used in the current pro team jacket. It is "lightweight" in comparison to the original rapha softshell because that piece was really heavy material.
> It is classic/club cut and in excellent condition. Color is a darker red.
> I rode it into the low-40s and was plenty warm.
> Does a great job of insulating, blocking wind and fending off short periods of rain.
> Three rear pockets plus zippered pocket.
> Full softshell material - front/back/body/arms.
I am the original owner and am transitioning my classic cut pieces into their pro team equivalents. Although an older piece, the LW softshell is in my top ten best pieces they've ever made. Very versatile. I need XL rapha jackets for shoulders not waist. As such, the PT pieces fit me a bit better.
It has been my go to "winter" jacket and plenty warm with a base layer and long sleeve from the low 40’s up.
