Lightweight, compressible and warm, our Microgrid Stowaway Jacket is an incredibly efficient, lightweight fleece that packs away into its own Packpocket™ for convenient stowage. Read more…
Our Microgrid Stowaway Jacket is the full-zip version of our best-selling Microgrid Stowaway Zip.
Like its pullover partner, it takes advantage of our advanced Microgrid fleece; an advanced fleece fabric which uses a sophisticated ‘needle-out’ knitting techniques to create a grid pattern on the surface of the fabric. These grids give the jacket an attractive textured appearance but they also bring with them a host of technical benefits. It enables the fabric to trap air – lots of it and is the key its surprisingly high levels of warmth.
These perforations have other benefits too; they make the whole jacket lighter. They also make it much more packable and far more breathable. All for the same warmth as a much heavier, ordinary fleece.
Our Microgrid Stowaway Jacket is a versatile fleece jacket designed to maximize the properties of this remarkable material. It’s a simple design which utilises a high specification technical fabric and is perfect as a layering piece – both in the hills or around town.
It features two zipped hand pockets and a zipped chest pocket for convenient stowage. The new raglan sleeve construction also reduces rubbing that can be caused when layering garments together.

Pocket science at Rohan is all about precision and detail of design, but most of all, it’s about keeping your most important stuff safe at times when losing keys, passports and wallet is more than just an inconvenience. We use several different methods – whichever is the most appropriate. Some pockets are completely hidden with micro zips, some are touch and close with roll-over tops and some are high quality zips.
Good design is more often about what to take off than what to put on. And clever design is about giving one feature two functions, that’s why many Rohan garments feature an internal mesh stretch pocket that doubles as a Packpocket™ for easy storage.
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.
