The Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend is almost over, and for a very limited time Rapha is offering 25% off across its entire site when using the code BF2024 at checkout. The Archive sale seems like it might stick around a little longer though, but for big discounts on current, full price gear the clock is ticking.

With so much to choose from we've created a Black Friday Rapha deals hub with all the Cyclingnews team's selections of tried and tested Rapha apparel and accessories. One real standout that you really should absolutely make the most off while it's still on offer is the Rapha Pro Team Gore-Tex Jacket. It's rated by our Senior Tech Writer, Will Jones, as his bets overall road cycling jacket in his guide best waterproof cycling jacket guide and it shortly won't be available at all in the States.

Rapha Pro Team Gore-Tex Jacket:
$325 $243.75 at Rapha US
£275 £206.25 at Rapha UK

Save 25%: The Pro Team jacket does it all brilliantly – it has the top spot in our best waterproof cycling jacket guide for good reason. It ticked all the boxes for waterproofing, heat management and fit – it's as good as it gets, and it uses the old Gore-Tex Active membrane, which is superior in performance to modern versions. Available in three color options and sizes from XS-XXL. Use the code BF2024 at checkout.

Will gave the Pro Team GTX jacket top marks highlighting the waterproofing capabilities, breathability and superb fit as some of its key features. It's worth noting that this jacket will soon become extinct as the global PFAS ban means jackets like this will soon be replaced. As Will said in his review, "Waterproof jackets potentially are never going to be this good again.", so it's something to buy now, especially at the Black Friday discounted price. We don't foresee Rapha dropping prices further over the main Black Friday weekend, so we wouldn't recommend holding out for a better price.
