When it comes to rain jackets you've got 2 options, something like the Shadow or Gabba jerseys which are breathable but not fully waterproof or a boil in the bag, packable jacket like the Squadra you have. The Core Rain Jacket is the latter, it will pack up small to fit in your pocket and be fully waterproof, but don't expect it to be breathable. It won't do anything different from your Squadra expect maybe have better zips/seams/cut.

Rapha hive mind, your assistance please. I'm after a packable jacket for getting caught out in rain/ coming off tops of mountains. I have Gabba for truly wet days, I have Pro Team Jacket for colder not so wet days and I have a Castello Squadra for emergencies and its this I'd like to replace. Its boil in the bag and the cut is very billowy.
So shortlist is:
Classic Wind Jacket
Rain Jacket
Pro Team Lightweight wind jacket
Pack Jacket
Would prefer black because Pro and I'm M in normal Rapha and Large in Pro Team and prefer a closer cut
The rank outsider is Core Rain Jacket but its very new - anyone have experiences to share?
