Women's Stratus Lightweight Insulated Jacket
The Stratus Jacket uses plant-based Sustans® insulation that has performance similarities to both traditional down and synthetic wadding, creating a ‘best-of-both-worlds’ material.
Read more…The Stratus Jacket is packed full of benefits thanks to its innovative insulation. It’s incredibly warm, water-resistant, wind-resistant and machine washable, plus it looks and feels fantastic.
Like regular synthetic insulation, Sustans® fibres have a superior elasticity that achieves fantastic recovery, flexibility and warmth retention whilst also being fully machine washable and quick drying – a perk that can’t be achieved in most natural downs due to its high moisture absorption. But, unlike wadded synthetic insulation, it mimics the look and feel of real down by manufacturing the fibres into fill-like clusters rather than sheets of wadding, creating a softer finish with a better drape.
Sustans® fibres look very similar to synthetic fibres, but instead of using traditional oil to make the polyamide, it uses plant based oil.
Using this wonderful insulation on the interior in conjunction with the tough polyamide on the exterior and a Durable Water Repellency™ finish, the Stratus Jacket is able to offer impressive levels of warmth and water-resistance, as well as easycare functionality and long-lasting durability.
With two secure mesh lined hand pockets and two internal stash pockets, there’s plenty of room for your necessities. Whilst one of the internal pockets also doubles as a Packpocket™ so you can compress it down small and chuck it in your bag.
The fixed hood has a single point of adjustability on the back and has stretch binding around the face. There’s also stretch binding around the cuffs and an adjustable hem – all of which work to improve the fit and trap warm air.
An excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts, the Stratus Jacket with its innovative Sustans® insulation performs brilliantly on cold weather adventures whilst still offering great thermal efficiency in changeable, wetter conditions.
Fabric:
Outer 100% polyamide; Sustans® insulation
Lightweight - Weight: 450g
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: 2000ml
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: 12 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.
SUSTANS®
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.
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.
Packpocket™
Clever design is more often than not about what to take off rather than what to put on. It’s about giving one feature multiple functions. That’s why many of our garments feature a Packpocket™. This handy addition converts pockets into space-saving storage by compressing the garment into itself. You could use it as a travel pillow when it’s all packed down too.

stratus jacket
I like this jacket & have the orange and malachite green. Its warm but not too bulky, I have 3 other Rohan Down jackets of various weights and 2 rohan down body warmers. I don't like the zip on this jacket, If it had a better zip I would give it 5 stars. Love the orange, & have both a latitude zip & phase zip in the same colours as both
Mixed opinion
Love jacket but not zip. I ordered a replacement but no different. Dont really trust it for the long term. I spoke to customer services about it yet they say noone has mentioned it! Mens reviews say same thing. If it keeps coming undone I will have to rethink it and get back to customer services who are very nice to deal with. Love orange colour though.
Warm & Light Jacket
I wasn't sure about the bright orange colour, but really like it. The jacket is super warm and very light. My criticisms:
No zip breast pocket - so useful in my other Rohan jackets.
Zip is very flimsy and likely not to last. Also fiddly to do up. All my other Rohan jackets have robust zips
Hood needs some adjustment tags - so it doesn't blow off when windy.
Sleeves could be cuffed.
If the jacket had these additional features it would be 5*
Purchased in sale, but would not have been happy to pay full price.
Review of orange Stratus jacket
I love this jacket. Comfortable, warm and a good fit.
However, a major drawback is the zip. It is essential to perfectly line it up which is a bit tricky as the “pull” on the zip is very small and therefore “fiddly”. You can’t zip it up in a hurry or while walking as both sides of the zip don’t fully engage and it ends up coming apart from the bottom.
I bought it in the sale, otherwise I think I would have returned it.
I thought about returning it and ordering another in case it was a one-off but by then it was out of stock and, judging from other reviews, it is a problem with them all.
I have kept it as I love it in every other way, not least the lovely warm, bright colour but do worry that the zip may cease to function in time.
Flimsy looking zip
Delighted with the warmth, look and fit of this jacket, which I’ve just received. I thought of sending it back initially despite this, as the main zip is very fiddly to engage and especially to disengage - I can’t seem to just pull it down and apart to open as with normal jackets, but have to carefully line up the two halves of the zip. There’s no apparent damage to it or else I may order another for comparison. Customer Services, has anyone else commented on this? Is it normal? Were it not for this I would give the jacket 5*
Warm winter jacket
Was a bit dubious when it arrived, seemed to light and thin to be warm, but I was wrong. This jacket fits lovely, feels cosy and looks great, just been for a walk in 3 degrees and wore with my winter roamer trousers and felt lovely and warm.
Women's Stratus Jacket
I was looking for a lightweight, comfortable fitting and cosy jacket for walking in the cooler months. I wore the jacket on a 12 mile walk last weekend and actually was so warm I had to take it off. This can only be a good sign that it will live up to expectations as the temperatures continue to fall. Perfect!
Women's Stratus Jacket
I love this jacket. It is warm and light to wear. I purchased it at the reduced price so it was very good value. The length is fine and the sleeves are not too long. I am pleased I bought the large size as I can wear a fleece underneath.
