Have to say I am a bit disappointed with my Rapha Classic Goretex jacket after a few months use. It’s a great jacket for most rides, fits great, seems well put together and all that, but the upper arms let in water even in moderate sustained rain. There are just too many seams going on there.
I guess the use of the description “highly water resistant” rather than waterproof should have been a clue. In fact the rest of the jacket is great, the shoulders stay dry, but the arms...
