  • The Full Story

    The Men’s Brecon Jacket is a classic all-season shell that provides complete protection from the elements. Perfect for layering over a base layer and/or fleece for extra warmth when you're exploring the hills or further afield.

    The hem and cuffs provide you with the flexibility to fine-tune the fit to your preference so that you can continue your activities as comfortable as possible. Large functional pockets are designed to be worn with a rucksack this makes reaching for your OS map trouble-free. With three-point adjustment to the front and rear of the fixed hood, you can be assured that on the windiest day the hood will remain in place keeping your face protected.

    Whether you're taking on the mountains or slower-paced walks, the weather plays a big part in our outdoor adventures. This is why the Brecon Jacket comes with our renowned Barricade™ technology, which combines our latest fabric technology for being waterproof, windproof and breathable. Our innovative 2-Layer Barricade™ uses technology to bond the outer fabric with the internal breathable membrane, then lined with taffeta and mesh for your added comfort. 

    For our garments to be classed as Rohan Barricade™ the fabric must achieve a minimum Hydrostatic Head of 20,000mm. The jacket is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellancy) finish which boosts the fabric's water repellency. In addition, it forces water droplets to 'bead up' and run off the outside of the fabric, maintaining its effectiveness.

    Fabric: Outer: 100% Polyamide with Polyurethane Hydrophilic Membrane Lining 1: 100% Polyester Lining 2: 100% Polyamide
    Hydrostatic Head Value: 28,750mm H2O
    Breathability Value: 21,760g/m2/24hrs

    Men's Brecon Waterproof Jacket Coast Red
    My second Brecon and bought today in the Woodbridge store, where staff are exceptionally helpful and a delight. Bought coast red because it’s more dark orange than the website pics show - and much better for that in my opinion. Generous fit (XL is equivalent to XXL in some other brands) and lots of zipped pockets. Waterproofing is second to none.

    Usual high standard of technical quality. Welcome the fact the main zipper can be undone at top and bottom. Good fitting. Would probably have preferred a mustard colour if it had been offered.

    I am a fan of Rohan products and this is a great jacket. The problem is, it’s not what I really wanted. I find it difficult to differentiate your offering. I wanted a shel jacket, as this is described, and for me that is the lightest possible jacket with no lining. I had one but unfortunately I left it in the pub. It did not come home. I like this new jacket but I already have one in red.

    Men's Brecon Waterproof Jacket Dark Olive Brown
    I'm very pleased with my jacket. Only negative is the fact that the hood can't roll up into the collar. My last Rohan had this facility. I indeed was informed about your product that has a roll-up hood, but it has no flap over the main zip so I gave that a miss. Otherwise, I have proved Rohan in the past, to perform well, so I'll stay with the brand.

    Men's Brecon Waterproof Jacket Dark Olive Brown
    A practical and well made jacket ( characteristic of all previous products I have purchased over the years). I particularly like the colour of this jacket. That is not something I could say about many of the colours Rohan offer, some of which are positively lurid. But they get cose enough to the right spot colourwise with a majority of their products. An observation I would make is that that an internal "drop pocket" would be a very useful addition to the overall practicality of the jacket. But that's just me being a fusspot. In summary, I think this is a really good jacket. It has performed well so far and if it is anything like other Rohan clothing I have previously bought it should last a very long time ( and be put to good use).

    Seems excellent at first look. I've only worn it twice but it's a good fit, and feels robust, comfortable and suited for winter walks.

    Men's Brecon Waterproof Jacket Black
    I haven't had the chance to wear the jacket yet since it's already hot in Italy and I only recently made the purchase. I'll tell you something about it around October, but my Rohan choices have never disappointed me and I still wear items purchased over 15 years ago.

    Men's Brecon Waterproof Jacket Dark Olive Brown
    Sizing is out, every jacket including outdoor jackets I have are medium. My Brecon one is a small. First two outings in heavy rain the jacket has left me getting wet inside mainly from the chest pocket. This is not a cheap jacket. Disappointed, I have been a customer for a long time.

    Fair price. Prompt delivery. Quality looks very good. But, it would be best to review an item like this after, perhaps, a year.

    Men's Brecon Waterproof Jacket Black
    Bought the Brecon jacket last year. It’s a great fit and comfortable, and the hood is great. However in my opinion there are 2 things that let it down: The press- studs are too small and are difficult to fasten especially with cold, wet hands, and the side hand pocket flaps point forwards instead of backwards which allows rain to run down into the pockets and the flaps also get blown outwards in the wind exposing wind and rain to the pockets (and their contents). Other than that it’s a great jacket!

  • Durable Water Repellency

    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.

  • 2-Layer Barricade™

    A versatile waterproof construction where a water-repellent outer fabric is bonded to a PU hydrophilic membrane, with a loose inner lining that protects the membrane from the inside. Ideal for everyday wear, this setup balances durability, breathability, and comfort across a range of conditions.
