Women's Olfio Wadded Top
Using the latest in fabric and design technology, and as a celebration of the radical thinking that was behind the Olfio Top of the 80’s, Rohan’s new Olfio Top offers impressive warmth, fantastic water-resistance and a durable finish in an iconic package.
Read more…Today’s Olfio Top still uses high-performing Airlight™ fabric but with the addition of modern insulation and thoughtful design features, it offers maximum protection for cold-weather walking, travel and everyday wear.
The original Olfio Top was designed as a radical alternative to the Arran sweater, which although water resistant and warm, was incredibly itchy and uncomfortable; it also couldn’t be dyed in the bold colours that became iconic in the 80’s. By using innovative Airlight™ fabric Rohan were able to do what others had yet to achieve – create a jumper with bold designs, that was water resistant, breathable, soft-to-the-touch and most importantly comfortable.
With many of the same benefits but with an added Durable Water Repellency™ finish, today’s Airlight™ is still an incredibly effective choice of fabric. Impressive water and wind resistance, soft to touch, comfortable to wear and with added durability, it’s the perfect choice for travel and everyday wear.
Using the latest in insulation technology, Insuloft™, this overhead offers impressive thermal efficiency without adding bulk. Coming in at just 420g, the Olfio Top has an incredible warmth to weight ratio making it ideal to pack for your next winter escape.
With added thoughtful design features such as an adjustable hem and storm cuffs for improved fit and warmth, a high collar for wind protection, side zip opening and synthetic liner for easy on and off, and two secure zipped hand pockets for essentials, the Olfio Top is a fantastic modern day choice.
Utilising the iconic styling of the past with the latest fabrics and technologies, the Olfio Top is still a timeless classic that’s full of modern day functionality for hard-working protection in cold-weather climates.
Fabric:
Airlight™ exterior, Insuloft™ wadding, 100% polyester lining
Lightweight - Weight: 420g
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: 1250ml
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: 4 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.
Airlight
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.
INSULOFT™
Insuloft™ is an advanced synthetic wadding that offers a better warmth-to-weight ratio than polyester fleece and better performance when wet than conventional down. It’s durable, compressible, lightweight, easy to wash and fast drying – it’s the perfect choice for cold-weather protection.
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 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.

a really good purchase
This reminds me of the overhead Rohan tops I used in the olden days for XC ski-ing with the easily accessible vast front pocket used for ski-waxes. Nowadays it holds gloves, hat, phone, map and all the general paraphernalia when I don't want to carry a rucksack. Lovely cotton based outer with NO SHINE in a very dark navy. The green has grown on me. Impressively warm on these frosty mornings but easy to ventilate when it warms up. Nice inner cuffs and adjustable bottom stop winds and save body heat.
I love this. It makes me smile.
I absolutely adore this top. Bought in the sale so good value. Be aware it's not stretchy but it's warm and windproof with a huge front pocket under the front popper (you can turn the jacket into this pocket) and two side pockets that join in the middle. The outer fabric feels strong and gets softer with wear. Note that it's 48% cotton, and 52% polyester so not waterproof or *super* quick drying. The drawstring at the bottom makes it even more cosy on a blustery day. I love it so much I feel I should keep it "for best" in case I wear it out :D Love the colour - I think it looks great too.
Smart, warm, quality and comfy
The title has said it. This is a really nice looking top as well as it being very functional
Olfio Top
I love it! Warm, comfortable and windproof; perfect for chilly days on the moors and riverbanks. It's a winter version of my go-to walking top - an ancient Rohan pull-on (Goa I think).
