Hi community
Winter is coming... but before that Autumn is there

Any recommendation regarding a rain jacket for heavy rain road cycling ?
Thanks

Patagonia for buy once, cry once quality and $5 repairs in case you don't keep the rubber side down.

Gonna just say it, if you want a rain jacket, skip the Chinese stuff.

Grab a castelli perfetto with goretex infinium, gorewear c5 with goretex shakedry if you can find one or something similar.

Personally unless it's below 40f and raining I'd rather not wear anything waterproof.

hello,
same situation, same conclusion.
if i finally buy something it will be GoreTex Infinium or ShakeDry.

I can vouch for the quality of the Decathlon stuff. I got the Van Rysel superlight rain jacket and I’m actually pretty pleased with it. It won’t keep you super dry forever. But I happily trade off a bit of water resistance in favour of ventilation. I hate the feeling of wearing a plastic bag.

I get super hot when riding so using waterproofs is always a hard one. For me, waterproofs are reserved for cold rainy adys where the extra layers keep warmth in. I also make sure I use base layers because getting hot in waterproofs is extremely uncomfortable when the wet jacket / trousers stick to you. I tried chiner stuff, was all crap and terribly ventilated. I prefer to use a soft-shell jacket when it is raining as it keeps me warm and pretty dry unless its a long ride and you don't get that sticky feeling in my experience.
