Descended from the classic high-pile jackets of the past and of our Kyle Fleece of the 90’s, the Alligin Jacket harks back to simpler times but comes packed full of modern day technology.
Read more…Offering the same key benefits of a classic high-pile fleece – impressive warmth and durability, and with a retro look harking back to our Kyle Fleece of the 90’s, the Alligin Jacket is today’s answer to a functional outdoor fleece.
Softer, suppler and far more comfortable than the fleeces of yesteryear, the Alligin Jacket is a highly functional, incredibly warm jacket that will work fantastically as a top layer on cold days or as a mid-layer on extremely bitter days thanks to the tufted, lofty high-pile fabric that traps an abundance of warmth.
With a quick-dry time and the added benefit of being easycare, you can wash it, hang it up to dry overnight and it will be ready to go again by morning.
As well as giving it a vintage aesthetic, the Airlight™ fabric on the shoulders and chest pocket improves durability, which is particularly useful if you’re often taking a backpack with you on your winter walks.
There are two secure zipped hand pockets at the waist and one on the chest, so plenty of space for all your essentials. There’s also stretch binding on the neck, around the hem and cuffs for improved comfort and warmth.
Luxuriously soft, unbelievable warm and a tribute to the bold style of the 90’s, the Alligin Jacket is a modern day twist on a timeless classic and a must-have this winter.
Fabric:
Main body 100% polyester; contrast panels Airlight™ (52% polyester, 48% cotton)
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.
Originally introduced in 1983, Airlight™ is the fabric that revolutionized travel clothing: it’s a classic, perfectly-balanced fusion of cotton and polyester. Lightweight, hardwearing, wind resistant, breathable and compressible, it’s easy to wash, very quick drying and feels wonderfully cool and comfortable next to the skin.

Purchased from this year's sale, so better value than full price. The first time of wearing was out in the recent NE wind, that was bitter. I stayed amazingly warm, especially over the shoulders, with no cold patches. The sleeves are long on me, but no matter, as the cuffs cover my wrists and that part of my gloves. Only downside (hence the 4 stars, not 5) is that the body is around 2"/5cms too short. As a result, the top half of your bottom stays warm, but the lower half doesn't. Overall though, a good buy.
I love this jacket. It’s really warm and well insulating. Love having a few pockets as can keep stuff dry under a waterproof. (I usually have a medium but only needed small and it’s perfect. I’m a 10/12). It’s great value when in the sale!
Delighted to find this fleece in the sale as I've been looking for one to replace the ancient one I bought for a trip to Lapland for the millenium. Style of the 90s? Well, I like it that way as I'm not so keen on the modern styles. Must be my age! I bought a size up as I'd put a bit of weight on and needed to be able to get layers underneath so difficult to comment on size. This fleece is fabulously cosy; it's like being enveloped in a gorgeous hug. I recently wore it on holiday in Wales and it was just right for lovely walks. Perfect buy.
I love this jacket. It is light, comfortable to wear
and very warm.
