A high-performance winter essential the longer length Men’s Bergen Waterproof Jacket ideal for the city, uses our 2-Layer Barricade Standard and synthetic insulation for full protection.
Read more…It's rare to find city style and practicality combined with full wet weather protection and outstanding cold weather performance but with our Bergen Jacket that's exactly what we've done. Created specially for the urban environment it's the ultimate high performance winter coat designed for city use.
We've used a Sustans® filling to help keep the winter out and the warmth in. It mimics the aesthetics and feel of down and has a very high heat retention but is also fully machine washable and quick drying.
The Bergen Jacket features woven tunnels to retain the insulation rather than stitched channels – this is one of those typically subtle Rohan design details which could easily be overlooked but is a key element in reducing cold spots through fibre migration.
On the outside we've used our tried and tested two layer Barricade fabric with a Durable Water Repellency finish. The coat is cut with a longer length for serious protection from the elements and is equipped with an adjustable hood and a wired peak plus a double storm flap with a snap and zip closure. For added comfort we've included a water repellent stretchy inner cuff and a micro fleece hidden inner collar. Although the Bergen coat is part of our city travel range you'll find it works just as well when the pavement stops and the trails begin.
Washing Instructions
Caring for your Rohan Barricade waterproof will improve its performance and longevity. Simply machine wash your item at 30C with a gentle non-biological, liquid detergent. We recommend a second rinse to remove all traces of detergent from the fabric. Don’t use fabric conditioners, dryer sheets, stain removers or bleaching agents as these can impair the fabric performance. Garments may be drip dried. To rejuvenate the finish tumble dry your waterproof on the coolest setting, ensuring it is fully dry to complete the process.
Your Barricade waterproof has a Durable Water Repellency finish on the surface of the fabric. Over time, with wear and exposure to the environment, this can degrade, stopping water beading up on the surface of the jacket. Cleaning your waterproof will help maintain the finish. If necessary a re-proofing product may be used to restore the DWR. This can be used in your wash cycle and is activated by a cool tumble dry.
Fabric:
100% Polyamide with 91% Polyester 9% Elastane lining, 100% Polyamide sleeve linings and Du Pont™ Sorrona® fibre insulation
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.
Sustans® is a highly insulating synthetic filling that mimics the look, feel and performance of natural down. Manufactured from a plant-based oil, it’s lightweight, highly compressible and offers a comfortable, soft feel. It’s fully machine washable and extremely quick drying – the perfect choice for cold-weather travel and outdoor use.
The Barricade standard gives you reassurance of a high level of waterproof protection. All of our waterproofs must meet our Barricade Standard to be ten times the British standard for waterproofing.
The waterproof fabric of the garment has two layers. The water-repellent outer fabric and the PU hydrophilic membrane are bonded together. In addition, a loose lining protects the membrane from the inside.
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.
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.

Really pleased with my purchase. I'm a female size 12 and bought the men's version as my husband already has one and there wasn't a navy option in the female Bergen. The medium was a perfect size for me with a fleece layer and t-shirt underneath. Love the comfy feel, deep pockets and overall cosiness. Agree with other comments about the fiddly nature of the zip. I'm not sure it's worth the £325 price tag but was very happy to pay £260 in the sale. The only reason I didn't give it 5/5 was because I have dogs and the fabric is a dog hair magnet!
Had this 2 months. Warm, comfortable and attractive. I would prefer the hood to be a little longer to avoid pressure on top of my head, but that’s fairly minor. The zip is the issue it’s really fiddly to engage, and near impossible with gloves. Once done up it’s a fabulous garment.
overall great fit & features, but zip VERY disappointing, hard to use, most unlike my previous several jackets over the years, almost thought of returning.
why has the style of the zip changed for the worse ?
if its not broke don't fix it
Ordering and delivery service from Rohan top notch as usual. Bergen Jacket very warm and light, and discretely styled to cope with city and country life. Have yet to fully test its waterproofing qualities. Would have reviewed the jacket a 5* if there was a second zipped inside breast pocket and the outer fabric didn’t crease so easily.

The Bergan jacket is an ideal winter coat it is light but well insulated and the longer length is good protection from rain the hood is a good size with a peak. All in all a good coat for the winter.
This is an excellent jacket, like a really good parka. I like it in all respects except I find the zip tricky to use and when I’m in a hurry the zip is a bit of a curse. Otherwise the jacket is great. It’s warm, waterproof, with deep pockets. I got mine in a sale, also using a voucher so it was good value. I like the hood, which is one piece permanently attached. It really is a great jacket, especially if you live in a windy wet part of the world. I’ve also used it for short trips on a motorbike, for extra protection when I haven’t put all my motorcycle togs on, the two way zip is useful then. It’s the coat I keep handy by the door.
