Fabric:
Multiflex Light™ (94% polyamide, 6% elastane) with Dynamic Moisture Control™
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.
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.
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 love these stretch bag shorts. They are a bit longer in the leg than ordinary bag shorts so more modern style. They feel lighter and probably faster to dry out but the main thing is the flexibility in them gives way more range of movement in the legs for doing yoga, climbing etc. They are all round more comfortable. My bag shorts do they feel like they'd be harder wearing so I prefer them for mountain biking etc than stretch bag shorts. Regarding the fit, this was no issue compared to my usual sizing. Great value in the sale. It was definitely worth popping in to the Betws y Coed shop where I received outstandly good service thank you.
Firstly, great shorts! Super comfy with the stretch. The usual Rohan quality, no issues there. I've worn 'regular' Bags (trousers and shorts) for over 30 years, and last year tried the stretch trousers, and I was converted! Very comfy. So, I thought I'd try the shorts as the trousers are so good, especially as they were in the sale! My stretch trousers are a size 30, and a good fit. (FYI, I'm female but always wear the men's trousers as they fit my body shape better) Having read the reviews around sizing, I ordered a size 30 and 32, as I was worried the 30's wouldn't fit. I'm glad I did as the 32's are a much better fit, the 30 size was too tight for me. So, I've returned the 30's and kept the 32's. For reference, my 'actual' waist measurement is just over 30". Hope that helps!
These are my second pair - really comfortable for long walks in warm weather - although I have been known to roll up the leg a bit to shorten them in v warm weather! Love the stretch and soft feel of the material. Lots of useful pockets. Perfect sizing for me (32' waist). Only gripe is that they are a bit expensive - but you get what you pay for!
These shorts look great and are extremely comfortable. Great pockets and zips for carrying stuff
These shorts fit well (34" waist - my usual size). They look good, and are very flexible - I can even do yoga in them. Not too short or long. Only gripe is why the expandable press studs (not on ladies' version)?
Really pleased with the shorts. However, reviews about sizes are correct. I am a 32in waist and bought 34in which fit perfectly!!
These are excellent shorts made of durable material with deep zipped pockets. They are a good length (not too short nor too long) and look smart. I've been buying Rohan shorts and trousers since the mid-eighties and never had a problem with sizing, but after reading the earlier reviews I ordered my regular size (34") and also the next size up. The 34" fit perfectly (as usual) so the 36" pair have gone back to Rohan. I can only assume the earlier reviewers had a bad batch. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Just purchased these shorts in a 32 waist size despite me pushing the boundary slightly ! The are a good and very comfortable fit. As I wear Stretch Bags for walking I knew these woud be the same fit. Very pleased.
I'm a long term Rohan fan & bought these shorts to wear while on duty as a Covid marshal coordinator. Fortunately, I read the first review which mentioned the small waist size. Consequently, I went from a 34 to a 36 & they are a perfect fit. The lighter blue colour is ideal & there are plenty of zip pockets Altogether, I'm delighted.
Very happy with shorts, a good fit and comfortable. I just wish there was more colour choice and were a little cheaper.
I frequently wear stretch bags and happily have four pairs which are 5 star rated. I have just received my first pair of shorts and the sizing is completely different - much too small! With my trousers I am between size and always buy the larger pair and use a belt. Having bought the shorts in the same larger size there was no way I could do them up.
Rohan, please keep your sizing consistent.
