Bringing alpine performance to urban environments, the Downtown Jacket offers an incredible warmth to weight ratio and effortless style, it also packs away into its own Packpocket™ so you can take it with you anywhere.
Read more…Designed primarily for wearing around town in cold, changeable conditions, our Downtown Jacket is filled with a high-quality blend of hydrophobic 650+ down and feathers, to offer excellent warmth with a water resistant finish.
As you’d expect from a down jacket, the Downtown Jacket is extremely warm and highly compressible. But, unlike many down jackets, it’s also very resilient. We’ve treated the down with a highly-effective and specialised hydrophobic treatment which dramatically increases the filling’s resistance to moisture – up to 30% less water absorption than untreated down to be specific. It also dries far faster than traditional down and retains its loft – and therefore warmth – after exposure to moisture. Meaning you can wear it during more changeable conditions without fear of deterioration.
Weighing in at just over 500g, the Downtown Jacket offers unrivalled warmth to weight ratio, and when you take into account its high pack-ability, with a built in Packpocket™, it’s a no brainer that this jacket is a must for your next cold-weather adventure.
We’ve introduced a new sew-free manufacturing technique which substantially decreases the loss of down and feathers through the stitching which in turn keeps the jacket looking great for longer and reduces cold spots that you traditionally get with down jackets.
The outer of our Downtown Jacket is a mix of 91% polyester and 9% elastane which has been treated with Durable Water Repellency™ finish, creating a comfortable, durable and water-resistant finish.
The two hand-warmer pockets are lined with soft micro fleece and feature easy-grab, glove friendly zip pullers. An adjustable hem and stretchy bound cuffs fine-tune the fit and seal in the warmth.
Enjoy amazing warmth in a compressible, lightweight jacket with a stylish, urban design. The Downtown Jacket is a must for your typical British winter day or packed down into your bag as a ‘just-in-case’ jacket for cold weather escapes.

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.
Our Hydrophobic Down fill is a high quality blend of 80% 650+ Fill Power white goose down blended with 20% feathers. Extremely thermally efficient and highly compressible it’s the perfect, packable choice for cold winter conditions: Our Hydrophobic Treatment dramatically improves water-resistance – and damp weather performance.
Our DWR ™ finish is an advanced treatment which dramatically increases the water repellency of our fabrics. On its own, it offers a useful level of shower resistance; used in conjunction with our Barricade™ technology, it reduces the tendency of the face fabric to wet out and maximizes breathability.
Clever design is more often than not about what to take off rather than what to put on. It’s about giving one feature multiple functions. That’s why many of our garments feature a Packpocket™. This handy addition converts pockets into space-saving storage by compressing the garment into itself. You could use it as a travel pillow when it’s all packed down too.
Losing the odd bit or bob when you’re close to home is rarely an issue, but losing car hire keys, passport, phone or wallet becomes more important than ever in a far off land. That’s why lots of thought goes into safer pockets – deeper, zipped and hidden.

Bought in the Autumn for this winter, before the sale so it was not cheap, but worth it. At sale price it is very good value. Warm, comfortable. Nothing more to ask for in a winter jacket.
This was my favourite go to jacket last winter. No need for an additional fleece as it is very warm and wind proof. Just perfect when out in the Mazda MX5 during winter with the top down.
I bought this jacket under the sale period. Like everything else I own from Rohan the jacket didn't disappoint me. I would say, that it exceeded my expectations.
Lately the weather have been rather chilly in the morning: 0-4 degrees, and rather windy. The jacket kept me warm all the time.
It is very light too and the Medium size fits me like it was tailored specifically to me...
Great, great jacket! Thanks, once again...
Fantastic jacket. Smart but casual. And so warm! I feel so smug and snug when wearing this jacket while my friends are complaining about the cold!
