The Global T is our high-performance alternative to a traditional cotton T-shirt. This simple crew neck jersey is perfect for casual everyday wear, but the superior fabric technology means it doubles as a base layer.
Read more…Using our tried and tested DryKnit™ fabric with added Dynamic Moisture Control™ and Anti Odour Silver technology, gives the Global T an impressive amount of versatility and outstanding performance. A basic T has never been less basic.
It’s made from a blend of sophisticated technical fibres that have been ‘Vortex’ spun to provide long-term durability and excellent retention – basically it’ll never pill, fade or lose its shape. It just keeps going – year after year.
By adding Anti Odour Silver technology, the Global T can benefit from the natural antimicrobial properties of silver. Tiny traces of silver, distributed evenly throughout, inhibit the growth of bacteria which in turn reduces odour and mould, not only keeping you feeling and smelling fresh, but reducing the need for washing and extending the life of the T.
This permanent treatment has been stringently tested by the International Antimicrobial Council and has been proven to provide 99.5% of antimicrobial properties even after 50 washes.
The addition of a Dynamic Moisture Control™ wicking finish adds extra breathability to the fabric keeping you feeling cool and comfortable by rapidly dispersing moisture away from the body and across the surface of the fabric to be evaporated.
This dual technology works fantastically together, keeping you feeling cool, comfortable and smell-free all day. The Global T also has a UPF40+ Sun Protection* rating so you’ll be protected from harmful UV rays as well as feeling cool and fresh. It’s a great option for warm-weather trekking and travel, but also as a base layer under warmer top layers during active hiking or walking in cold-weather conditions.
As usual with Rohan, the Global T is really easy to wash – in the machine or by hand – and will comfortably dry overnight, so it’ll be ready to wear again the next morning, with no ironing required.
*A Note on Sun Protection
All Rohan garments that feature a UPF 40+ Sun Protection rating have been tested in accordance with recognised international standards for ultraviolet radiation protection. Garments are awarded a rating of UPF 40+. Protection may be significantly reduced with extended wear or if the garment is stretched or wet. Any associated UV risks will vary according to individual skin type or medical history.

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.
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.
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.
Garments treated with our Anti Odour Silver technology benefit from the natural antimicrobial properties of silver. Tiny traces of silver, distributed evenly throughout the garment, inhibit the growth of bacteria reducing mould and odour. This treatment is permanent – it will never wash or wear out.
DMC™ is a wicking treatment that rapidly spreads the moisture our bodies create across the surface area of a garment. This can be achieved through the technical construction of the garment or by a performance coating and ensures that the garment dries more quickly, encourages evaporative heat loss and helps you stay cooler and more comfortable for longer.

I’ve used these and most other products since day 1. (First bags bought at the old Birmingham Airport in th early 80’s). They are brilliant. But guys, who is choosing the colours nowadays? (Actually, not just the T shirts). Some of them don’t even coordinate with other Rohan colours. Remember, many of us have to get them past senior management! I know I’m a ‘crumblie’ but I’m hoping to be buying Rohan for a few years yet. Come on.
This is one of those, “I seldom write a review” reviews precipitated by the imminent departure of a good friend. My first Rohan T! In 12 plus years of ownership I’ve worn it regularly all around the globe. I estimate that it has been washed over 400 times (it has 11 friends including a Global) and it still has the original shape although the material is starting to wear!!! Rohan T’s are by far the best you can buy.
Excellent - great fit, lovely to wear and very easy to wash and use again the next day! I wear one most days and love the different colours.
Have a couple of these and the previous version the ‘Element’ which in my opinion is better. Anyway a great shirt that’s fits and wears nicely. My big criticism is the complete lack of colour variation in the Rohan range, all a bit dull.
Love it and I loved it in its previous guise (Element T). The Global T has a longer cut, but that suits me nicely. Washes well and dries pretty quickly. Easy to pack, pretty compact. Great utility item, don't tell the wife, but I might just order another one.
A very good t shirt that is comfortable to wear whether as a layer or on its own. It maintains its shape and drys quickly. As mentioned in other reviews it’s predecessor (Element) had a slightly heavier material which was also good(I’m still wearing) and would have been good if Rohan had kept it as an alternative. In summary excellent but would like to see a much broader range of colours.
Rohans T-Shirts seem to have got longer and longer over recent years with baggy necks. We are not all giants! 10 years ago the only clothing I bought was from Rohan now it's less and less. You have got to the stage when you must start producing a short mans range in T-shirts, shirts and pullovers. I'm not that small and have no problem with clothing from Jack Wolfskin, Which I am being forced to buy more and more. I prefer Rohan clothing but refuse to buy shirts that nearly reach my knees.
Have loved Rohan element t shirts which seem to have now been replaced with the global t shirt. But unfortunately they are thinner. The white is see through and not suitable for anything other than an undershirt. A poorer alternative unfortunately.
Element T fan here. What can I say about the Global? Even better and that is saying something. Keep up the good work.
Where else can you get a Tech T that doesn't look like a tech T for £30.00? Worn as a base layer on the fells, and dog walking, but also looks good down the pub. I wish they did more that three colours, a black one would be a good addition
