Rapha has partnered with Gore-Tex to enhance its line of winter wear.

Yes, this is a jersey, not a jacket, but it is far from the lightweight, ventilated ProTeam Flyweight Jersey. Rather, it is comparable to the highly successful Castelli Gabba jersey, the first in Rapha's clothing line.

If you have ever struggled to find the right balance of layers, jacket, and jersey on a cold winter ride, this jersey may just be ideal.

The most appealing aspect of this new jersey is undoubtedly the weather protection aspect, making it ideal for long winter base miles in wind, rain, and even snow.

When you go out for a ride this winter, you will no longer have to sift through your clothing collection, checking out bulky jerseys and flimsy rain jackets, trying to find the right balance for the conditions outside. This jersey will make that decision for you.

The ProTeam Infinium Jersey is fully windproof, with a membrane built into the jersey that blocks any wind and keeps you snug and warm no matter where you ride.

The outer fabric makes it resistant to light rain and snow.

So far, so good, the jersey maintains breathability in addition to protection from the elements. It also maintains an aerodynamic fit thanks to its stretchy material.

Other features include reflective details on the front, sleeves, and back to increase visibility in the dark to keep you warm and safe during tough winter workouts.

The full-length front zipper comes with an internal guard to prevent the possibility of water intrusion, and bonded hems and silicone printed grippers keep the Pro Team Infinium jersey securely in place. Every possible drawback of winter jerseys has been thought out.

If you're going out for a ride in variable conditions and you're not sure how you or your clothing will hold up, this jersey is designed to meet your needs. No more worrying about this or that at home before a ride, and your worries about having the right kit to keep you warm and dry will soon be over.

According to Rapha, the jersey is designed to be worn as an outer layer in windy conditions; Rapha's ProTeam Base Layer and ProTeam Thermal Base Layer are ideal for this purpose, with ProTeam Winter Bib Shorts or tights for the lower body.

Colorways include black/black, lime green/green, and dark red/red for men and anthracite/anthracite and silt green/myrtle for women.

The Pro Team Infinium jersey costs £215/$290/€255.
