Agu advertises the Ultralight Rain Jacket as a lightweight companion with durable rain protection, whose material is designed to withstand 15,000 millimetres of water column without restricting air circulation. Its weight of around 100 grams makes it the first choice for anyone who values performance and minimalism. Thanks to its compact design, the jacket can be stowed away effortlessly and taken anywhere - perfect for travelling. A clever 2-way zip allows quick access to the back pockets of your jersey or mid-layer at any time without having to open the jacket completely.

Test summary of the Agu Ultralight Rain Jacket
The cut does not quite match the sporty posture on the race bike, the back section is rather short and slides upwards when pedalling. Both jackets are lightweight and pack extremely small. However, the Agu's membrane is not completely waterproof and the material soaks up water quickly, which means there is a noticeable risk of cooling down, especially on descents. The two-way zip is practical and allows easy ventilation during the ascent, but is difficult to operate. The collar and sleeves are short; reflective material is available, otherwise the features are kept simple. The material feels rushed and is slightly sweaty against the skin.
