The Rapha Explore Gore-Tex jacket and Explore Pants are the two latest additions to the brand\u2019s range of gravel\/adventure\/bikepacking (delete as appropriate) cycling kit.<\/p>\n

The Explore Gore-Tex jacket features an adjustable hem and large pockets, packs down into its hood and costs \u00a3395\/$530.<\/p>\n

The Explore Pants feature a drivetrain-friendly slim cut and DWR coating. They will set you back \u00a3140\/$180.<\/p>\n

The Rapha Explore Gore-Tex C-Knit jacket is a zip-up waterproof jacket<\/a> designed for gravel riding<\/a>, bikepacking<\/a> and day-to-day wear.<\/p>\n

The jacket has a generous cut, enabling you to fit an insulated layer (Rapha suggests the Explore Down Jacket<\/a>) beneath.<\/p>\n

Adjustable button-up hems enable you to raise the front of the jacket for a better fit when riding in an aggressive position (jackets with a long cut tend to bunch up around the stomach). The front can then be dropped for a more casual cut when off the bike.<\/p>\n

The jacket is made from an unspecified Gore-Tex three-layer fabric that features a C-Knit lining.<\/p>\n

The outgoing Rapha Explore Hooded Gore-Tex Pullover<\/a> is made from Gore-Tex Active. We expect the new jacket is made from the same material, but have contacted Rapha to clarify this.<\/p>\n

The jacket is available in either Rust or Navy colourways.<\/p>\n
