4 | 5 secrets to effortless adventure

Rohan simply and quietly improves the way you move through your life every day.

It will be your shelter.

It will keep you warm and dry in the cold and wet, or cool and comfortable in the heat and humidity.

It will help to protect you from biting insects and the sun’s burning UV rays.

And it will also help you to keep safe your most important possessions.

The long and short of

keeping dry Because the weather doesn’t stick to the rules, you need good options.

Sometimes the rain is set-in forever, other days the blue skies seem unshakable, but you just never know.

The Elite II and Hilltop Jackets are as different as the British weather.

The Elite II is ultra-packable, lightweight and short cut – the perfect all-rounder.

Because it’s Rohan it’s still an uncompromising waterproof, made from 3-layer Barricade™ with a full-on mountain hood and taped seams.

The Hilltop offers thigh-length protection and is the sort of jacket that real British hillwalkers appreciate. It’s breathable enough to wear on day-long jaunts, has an excellent wired peak hood and is tough enough to use year after year. The truth is, you’re probably going to need both.

1. Men’s and Women’s Elite II Jacket

2. Men’s and Women’s Hilltop Jacket

The essence of this jacket is ultra-light, fully waterproof mountain protection. Redesigned for this year, the outer shell fabric is a few grams lighter, while the face fabric is more durable and abrasion resistant.

It’s as light as it can be without compromising on performance and durability. The fit is relatively slim and athletic with extra length in the arms and back, making it the perfect all-rounder.

Simply put, it’s the best ‘fast and light’ three season shell jacket you can buy.

A no-compromise, full-length waterproof for British hillwalkers and outdoor professionals. It covers your bum and thighs so it has to be nearly torrential before it’s worth putting overtrousers on.

It’s made from durable 2-layer Barricade,™ our class-leading waterproof, breathable fabric. There are two internal zipped pockets, one sized correctly for an OS map, the other with room to keep a phone, wallet and compass safe and dry. The Hilltop Jacket was designed for complete protection in the mountains but is also ideal as a hard-working city mac.

Brace yourselves.

We’re about to talk thermodynamics.

Over the past twenty years we’ve tested every major branded waterproof fabric out there.

There wasn’t one that truly delivered on its promise, so we developed our own. The problem is that conventional waterproof, breathable fabrics are generally inert. They don’t change as things get wetter on the outside or hotter on the inside. The fabrics work the same whether you are standing still or toiling up a hill.

Barricade™ is different. It is dynamic.

The steamier things get inside, the more vapour escapes, keeping you more comfortable in a wider range of conditions.

Providing protection from UV rays and biting insects is just as important as protecting you from the cold.

It’s known that UV radiation from the sun causes sunburn, skin damage and skin cancer. It’s less known that many garments offer varying levels of protection from UV rays – you can cover up and still get burned. Rohan were instrumental in developing the first British Standard for UV protection in clothing and it’s

at the forefront of our mind when specifying technical fabrics.

And now, all Rohan fabrics for hot weather, that carry the sun icon, are tested for their Ultraviolet Protection Factor and rated either UPF 20+ or UPF 40+. A simple way for you to know exactly what you are getting.

Anti-insect BiteGuard™ is a unique

textile impregnation which is proven to reduce insect landings by 45% and cut down bites by between 80% and 90%. It is kind to your skin and naturally biodegradable.

It’s your first line of defence against, mosquitos, midges and ticks.

Think of it as insect repellent that you wear.

12 | 5 secrets to effortless adventure

Rohan is liberating, freeing you from unnecessary baggage. A system of minimalist layers allows you flexibility and comfort in the most uncertain conditions and climates. And because Rohan clothing is always pared down and lightweight it becomes pure function and reliability. It’s the art of having everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Lightweight trousers.

Heavyweight thinking.

Rohan became famous for turning the accepted world of multi-function trousers on its head. Tough can be light, hardworking can be comfy and technical can be well-cut.

Now, even though we make a wealth of different styles of trousers they all stay true to the same principles.

Light, protective, tough, packable, quick drying and versatile.

14 | 5 secrets to effortless adventure

Men’s Bags When Bags were invented nearly forty years ago, they were revolutionary.

An immediate hit, they went on to consistently outsell every other design of trousers we could make – year after year. We’ve now sold well over one million pairs and many people still call them their ‘Rohans’.

We daren’t change them, there might just be another revolution.

Colours: (left to right) Carbon, Fjord Blue and Ink (Shown opposite) Dark Forest/Dark Gold £57; code: 03862

Women’s Roamers Because living life to the full means everything from hiking in the High Atlas to visiting quality restaurants, we’ve designed Roamers to tackle pretty much everything and fit in almost anywhere. Made from a light and tough polyamide they are highly windproof and extremely breathable.

Smart and tough, together in one clever pair of trousers.

Colours: (left to right) Deep Navy, Black Rose and Black £68; code: 03234

Rohan is lightweight

rohan.co.uk | 15

To thrive on your adventures, rather than just survive, take some inner warmth.

Women’s Icepack Vest Keeping your body’s core warm whilst leaving your arms free is a versatile way to stay comfortable and active in a huge range of situations.

Our Icepack Vest weighs so little and packs away so small it’s also easy to take as a ‘just-in-case’ mid-layer for sundown warmth or for when the weather changes.

Its Insuloft™ filling has a brilliant warmthto-weight ratio and unlike down it doesn’t react badly to getting wet. It also features the Rohan Interchange™ system which means it can be zipped into any compatible shell jacket to make a full-on winter coat.

Fast, light and free.

Rohan’s range of fast and light gear can transform travel from cumbersome to free. Taking less simply means getting more done with less hassle. Maximum adventure with minimum fuss.

2. Men’s Windshadow Jacket

3. Men’s Core Silver T Short Sleeve

A minimalist jacket aimed at those who recognise that breathability, rather than absolute waterproofing, is usually the key to comfort in the hills, and that lightweight packability is often more important than complete protection.

The Windshadow Jacket is highly wind resistant, more breathable than the most breathable waterproofs, resistant to showers, ultra-lightweight and packs away to almost nothing.

It’s perfect for active pursuits such as running and cycling and it’s pretty much essential for serious trekking, backpacking or hillwalking.

A technical base layer, designed to keep you cool in the hottest conditions. Unique Coolant™ technology uses microscopic mica crystals within the fabric, creating an active, cooling effect. Temperatures within the garment are proven to be two degrees lower than untreated clothing. This T-shirt also has Dynamic Moisture Control™ which dramatically increases wicking, while silver ions avoid the build-up of microbes that can cause odours.

Your wardrobe is no longer walk-in, it’s carry-on.

Everything Rohan make is designed to take up minimum space.

This is achieved in a myriad of tiny ways throughout the design and manufacturing processes. And Rohan clothing all works together, so that when you combine packability with the other principles of protection, lightweight, versatility and easycare, you can take less and do more.

A Microrib Jacket transforms from tiny stuff sack to versatile warmth in a flash. This best-selling fleece is a sundown jacket in hotter climates, a technical mid-layer for hiking and trekking or a smartish pullover for city breaks.

Ta da!

Women’s Microrib Stowaway Jacket Of course the real magic is in the fabric. Tiny holes throughout the fleece create pockets of warm air, making the microrib more thermally efficient than a solid fabric.

This design also reduces pack size, weight and drying time – three more Rohan virtues. And because this fabric works so well, we make it in a whole range of different styles and colours for men and women.

Just turn the page for the full range.

The key to keeping warm is trapping dry air – and that’s where our Microgrid and Microrib fleeces really excel. They’re full of holes which trap lots and lots of air.

And these holes give many other benefits too; they make jackets and tops far more breathable and packable – while offering the same warmth as heavier, ordinary fleeces.

And a choice of simple, versatile designs means they are perfect for layering – both on the hill or around town.

Packable is smart.

No-one really cares how smart your clothes look as they go into the case – what matters is how they come out. And it’s easy to look good as you are setting off, but often more important to be in-shape when you arrive.

26 | 5 secrets to effortless adventure

Rohan has been creating packable gear for decades. This has been a process of developing and refining fabrics so that creases rarely form and then easily drop out, clothes fold away small and weigh very little.

This adds up to a very clever range of clothing that is perfect for adventurers who want to travel the world without looking like they’ve been dragged around it, and worker bees who need to look smart without working at it.

1. Men’s Grand Tour Chinos Classic chinos, supercharged with Rohan fabric technology.

Light, comfortable and durable, they make ideal travel and trekking trousers, great golf strides and perfect casual workwear.

Colours: Pebble (shown) Charcoal and Indigo £68; code: 03734

2. Men’s Worldview Shirt Long Sleeve Looks and feels like high quality cotton but technical fibres mean it washes more easily, dries in a flash, fights stains and odours, packs away to next to nothing and keeps its shape for years.

That means you can travel lighter, as one garment easily replaces two or three.

And an extra benefit is that it allows you to fit in rather than stand out, whether you’re trekking in the Anti-Atlas, hiking on Lakeland fells or unwinding at a smart restaurant.

Wool made perfect for travel Using extra fine knitting technology we have created a women’s merino cardi and men’s V-neck jumper that have all the softness and anti-microbial qualities of merino with the added advantages of being easycare, packable and lightweight. Merino wool is nature’s finest technical fabric – it has an uncanny ability to regulate your temperature in a wide range of conditions. It also has a natural resistance to the build-up of odour, making it perfect for more demanding use and travel. When it finally is time to freshen it up, it’s happy with a quick whizz on the wool cycle in the washing machine; or if you’re travelling, a swill in the sink with travel wash will do the trick.

All the comfort of merino with added Rohan.

An apology to iron manufacturers We have nothing in particular against making clothes hot and flat.

Sixty minutes spent each week doing the ironing means fifty-two hours each year.

If you live to be seventy and start ironing at seventeen, that would be 2,756 hours. If we don’t include the time you’re sleeping, you have now spent a total of 153 days ironing.

Right now, what would you give for 153 days to do whatever, go wherever with whoever else had chucked away their ironing board and iron?

Life’s just too short for ironing!

Rohan clothing works hard to make your life easy, using the most advanced fabrics so that it’s extraordinarily easy to care for.

It washes beautifully, dries in a flash and unless you’re about to go on parade, it really needs no ironing.

Unencumbered by stuff and chores, you can move fast and be flexible with plans.

Worker bees don’t have to argue about the ironing. Trekkers can pull out a dress or jacket from a rucksack and still look great.

Soft. Clever. Warm. Reliable.

It’s easy to fall for a Pathway Cardi.

Our Women's Pathway Cardi offers all the classic good looks and cosy comfort of a traditional woollen cardi, but because it’s made from a sophisticated polyester fleece, its technical performance is, quite simply, in a different league.

Compared to wool of a similar warmth, it’s far lighter. It’s also easycare, breathable, and more comfortable to wear for active use.
