Jack takes a closer look at Rapha's new two-part sleep system on our YouTube channel

Rapha surprised us last week with the announcement that it was releasing its two-part, down-filled Adventure Sleep System — a sleeping bag/jacket combination designed for lightweight on-bike adventures.

This was a fairly unexpected move for a brand that’s better known for its fashionable-yet-functional cycling garms than its camping gear.

We’ve just taken delivery of the new sleep system and have spent a bit of time wriggling into it and bivouacking around the BikeRadar office.

Watch as I — BikeRadar’s self-styled audax caterpillar — talk you through the new system on our YouTube channel.

Always in search of the hippest new niche in cycling, Jack is a self-confessed gravel dork, fixie-botherer, tandem-evangelist and hill climb try hard. Jack thinks nothing of bikepacking after work to sleep in a ditch or taking on a daft challenge for the BikeRadar YouTube channel. He is also a regular contributor to the BikeRadar podcast. With a near encyclopaedic knowledge of cycling tech, ranging from the most esoteric retro niche to the most cutting-edge modern kit, Jack takes pride in his ability to seek out stories that would otherwise go unreported. He is also particularly fond of tan-wall tyres, dynamo lights, cup and cone bearings, and skids. Jack has been writing about and testing bikes for more than six years now, has a background working in bike shops for years before that, and is regularly found riding a mix of weird and wonderful machines. Jack can also often be seen zooming about with his partner aboard their beloved tandem.
