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.

Jack Luke is the digital editor at BikeRadar and has been utterly obsessed with riding and bike tech for his whole life. Jack can primarily be found whizzing about at a moderate pace on his array of road bikes from his home in Bristol, but his greatest passion is for cycle touring, bikepacking and ill-advised gravel-flavoured long-distance hike-a-bike-peppered adventures. Jack is also interested in fixed-gear bikes, tandems and anything else that’s a wee bit weird. With a near-encyclopedic knowledge of cycling tech – ranging from the most esoteric retro niche to the most cutting-edge modern kit – Jack takes pride in seeking out stories that would otherwise go unreported. After years spent working in bike shops, and as a photography technician and tutor, Jack joined BikeRadar in 2016. He’s now responsible for shaping the overall output of BikeRadar, editing, planning and – when he gets the chance – writing content for the site. Jack’s also a regular host on the BikeRadar YouTube channel and BikeRadar Podcast, and has contributed to articles for the Guardian and been a guest on BBC Radio Scotland.
