The Dutch brand Agu, known as the outfitter of the professional team Visma | Lease A Bike, provided us with their ultralight model Ultralight Rain Jacket Performance for our rain jacket test. Agu has opted for an understated design without bright colours. We were curious to see how the men's and women's versions would compare to the competition.

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 doesn't quite suit the racing bike position, the back is rather short and slides upwards when pedalling. The material feels rushed and is slightly sweaty against the skin. Both jackets are lightweight and pack extremely small. The membrane is not waterproof and the material soaks up moisture quickly - with a noticeable risk of cooling. The two-way zip is practical but relatively stiff. The collar and sleeves are short; reflective material is available, otherwise the features are simple.
