Blend this with durable polyamide and stretchy elastane and you end up with a fusion of high-performing, technical yarn that will allow freedom of movement, won’t shrink, fade or lose its shape after wear or washing, and will feel fantastic against the skin whilst keeping you warm and comfortable.

Wear it over a top and jeans for cool casual style in temperate weather, or under a coat as an alternative to a cardigan for a chilly evening out, alternatively you could even wear it as mid-layer with a waterproof and trekking trousers for a cold-weather hike.
The Merino Fusion Zip Jacket will make a brilliant addition to your knitwear collection. Take it with you on your next winter escape for warm, practical style that’s full of easycare functionality.
Fabric:
Merino Fusion (90% merino wool 7% polyamide 3% elastane)
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.

I’m disappointed with the merino fusion jacket as I already have the jumper. It’s a very generous fit (I bought the L) but I prefer a looser fit anyway. I do struggle sometimes with Rohan sizing as I’m a tall 14/16, and M is nearly always too small and L sometimes too big. In this case it was far too big especially the sleeve length and I had to return it.
Last year I bought the grey version at full price & then found it a few days later at the reduced price - grrr, however I have worn it a lot - and it washes & wears well, so when I saw the cayenne purple [damson] one on offer I added it to my wardrobe. This item is warm, without bulk so goes underneath windproof/waterproof outer garments without issue or making you look like the Michelin man.
This cardigan is really useful, lovely and soft, a good length of sleeve. Great to just slip on when chilly. Definitely not fitted so could do with a little bit of shaping . Easy to wash and no ironing, yippee.
I wear this as an alternative to a microrib jacket under my Ascent Waterproof with a short sleeve Essence T. It fits snug to the body, keeps my back warm being a longer length, and is totally breathable.
