Trailblazers and Trendsetters

How our iconic trousers set the standard for adventure clothing.

Did you know that we’ve been around for more than 50 years?

In that time, trends have come and gone, technologies and fabrics have changed, and we’ve evolved alongside the world of outdoor adventure. But through it all, we’ve remained committed to creating durable, functional, and stylish clothing that stands up to the elements - just like we did when we first started in 1972.

Our journey began with a simple yet revolutionary product: a pair of lightweight, quick-drying, windproof salopettes designed for the rigors of mountaineering and trekking. At a time when outdoor clothing was often bulky, heavy, and impractical, we saw an opportunity to do things differently. We set out to create clothing that offered maximum performance with minimal fuss. Later we introduced the Rohan Bags, a pair of trousers that quickly gained a reputation for their versatility, functionality, and durability.

As time went on, we continued to innovate, embracing new fabrics and technologies that helped our products perform even better. In the 1980s, we introduced trousers made with technical synthetic fibers, which offered superior breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and lightweight insulation. Our commitment to innovation saw us push the boundaries of what outdoor clothing could achieve, without sacrificing our core principles of simplicity and practicality.

Fast forward to today, and Rohan remains a trusted name for outdoor enthusiasts across the globe. Our current trouser range is a bit bigger than it was 50 years ago. We now offer trousers that are fleece lined, insulated, waterproof, convertible, and more. Our product range has expanded, but our ethos remains the same: to design gear that performs when you need it most, helping you focus on the journey ahead.

The legacy of our early products still runs deep in everything we create today, ensuring that we remain not just a brand, but a trusted companion for the adventures to come.
