The Rapha Explore collection is designed for the best gravel bikepacking adventures, like the brand's own Pennine Rally. The range is made for multi-day trips in changeable conditions, and Rapha has now expanded its dedicated bikepacking range with new additions to the Explore collection. They include an update to the Explore Down Jacket and two brand-new insulating base layers, that they say are lightweight, wind-resistant pullovers designed for adventures on and off the bike. With the Rapha Festive 500 just around the corner, these items could be ideal for anyone weighing up their layering options for an attempt at the 500 km Christmas challenge, and we had a look over the features of the new pieces.
