Men's Brecon Waterproof Jacket
Classic Men's all season outdoor shell that gives full protection from the elements
Read more…The Men’s Brecon Jacket is a classic all season shell that provides complete protection from the elements and is perfect for layering over a base layer and/or fleece for extra warmth, worn with large protective gloves. Great for when you're exploring the hills or further afield, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe.
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 and won't interfere when you're reaching for your OS map.
So, 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 Standard, which combines our latest fabric technology for being waterproof, windproof and breathable. Our innovative 2-Layer Barricade Standard 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 reaching the Barricade Standard the fabric must achieve a minimum Hydrostatic Head of 20,000mm. Hydrostatic Head is a fabric measurement way of measuring how waterproof a garment is. The fabric is held tightly in place and water is then exerted at a high pressure until the fabric starts to bead with water. The higher the count the more waterproof the garment is.
The jacket is treated with a DWR 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
Lightweight - Weight: 595g
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.
Packable - Pack Size: 1500ml
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.
Fast Drying - Drying Time: 6 hours
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.
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.
4 Secure Pockets
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.
2-LAYER BARRICADE™
Barricade™ is a waterproof, windproof and breathable technology that has been tested and measured to achieve a minimum initial Hydrostatic Head measure of 20,000mm and an initial Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate measure of 20,000 g/m2/24 hrs. With our 2-layer construction method, a water-repellent outer fabric and the PU hydrophilic membrane are bonded together. A loose lining protects the membrane from the inside.

poor pocket design
Overall a good jacket. However the flaps protecting the hand pockets are inadequate. They do not cover the zips unless held in place by a rucksack belt. Otherwise the zips are exposed to the elements. I would have given the jacket 5 stars if not for this.
I would not recommend this jacket. The Ridge jacket does not have this problem.
What weird hood
This jacket is typical Rohan quality and I'm generally pleased with it - but beware the badly designed hood. Rohan wired hoods have been the best I've ever used on any waterproof until this jacket - for some strange reason instead of the peak having wire on the front the wire is at the back of the peak so the wire is actually on your forehead which makes the peak come down onto your forehead and rain runs off it onto your face. A great jacket ruined by a badly designed hood - not like Rohan at all.
