  • The Full Story

    From easy travel around rural areas to adventuring into the wilderness, this technical and versatile vest is the perfect expedition companion. Mesh lined for comfort and made from a stretchy ripstop material for durability and freedom of movement. The Insect Shield® treatment protects you from biting bugs by causing a hot foot reaction , forcing insects to fly or crawl away before biting you.

    2 large rear exhaust vents provide airflow when you need to cool down, and a total of 8 pockets across the vest provide more than adequate storage for your adventure essentials. The two secure zipped body pockets feature added volume expansion for more storage space, and are designed with anti-pickpocket features on the zip to add an extra level of security. Two hand pockets are placed discreetly behind the body pockets to provide comfort without impacting your storage capacity.

    Two large secure zipped chest pockets offer easily accessible storage for anything you need close to hand while you explore. Inside the right chest pocket is a D-ring attached to a pull-out stretch webbing with multiple attachment points. One internal secure zipped pocket provides an ideal storage option for your more valuable belongings, and a rear zipped pocket running along the back of the vest is ideal for storing larger items like an OS map.

    Snap buttons down the centre of the vest allow for easy fastening, and a small loop on the left hand side is perfect for holding your glasses or a pen for easy access.

    Fabric: 94% Polyamide 6% Elastane Lining: 82% Polyamide 18% Elastane

Lightweight - Weight 575 Grams

We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.

Packable - Pack Size 1500ml

Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.

Fast Drying - Drying Time 4 hours

All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.

  • Insect Shield®

    Insect Shield® technology converts clothing into convenient, comfortable and effective protection against biting insects. Each garment is treated with permethrin – an invisible and odourless ingredient that helps protect against insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges.

  • Secure Pockets

    Losing possessions when you’re close to home is frustrating, but losing your car keys, passport, phone or wallet while you’re travelling can really spoil your adventure. That’s why we put lots of thought into developing safer pockets – deeper, zipped and hidden.
