These go-anywhere leggings will be your new travel essential and a mainstay in your wardrobe.
Read more…Temperature regulating, un-restrictive and really easy to care for – these merino blend leggings work great as a technical base layer but are also very likely to become a favourite part of your everyday wardrobe.
A union of technical polyester and natural merino wool means the Merino Union 200 Leggings offer both comfort, freedom of movement and natural antibacterial properties. Merino wool is also incredibly soft next to the skin – there’s none of the unpleasant itching you get with ordinary wool. These leggings also have a soft elastic waistband for extra comfort.
Warm in the cold, but surprisingly cool in the heat, they are super versatile and cross-seasonal, they would be perfect for long-haul travel, they wick moisture rapidly so can be used for active wear, or can simply be worn casually under a dress or tunic.
And, as you would expect from Rohan, they’re lightweight, pack small and when the time finally comes to freshen them up, you’ll find they’re very simple to wash. Just throw them in the machine or rinse them in a basin along with travel wash. Hang them out to dry and they’ll be ready to go again the next day.
Fabric:
33% Merino wool, 62% polyester, 5% 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.
Merino Union blends merino wool, nature’s finest technical material, with advanced synthetics to create a best of both world’s fabric. It’s antimicrobial, odour-inhibiting, temperature regulating, high-wicking and breathable. It’s also easy to wash – by hand or in the machine. The addition of polyester to the blend increases durability and reduces drying times.
DMC™ is a wicking treatment that rapidly spreads the moisture our bodies create across the surface area of a garment. This can be achieved through the technical construction of the garment or by a performance coating and ensures that the garment dries more quickly, encourages evaporative heat loss and helps you stay cooler and more comfortable for longer.

These leggings are so versatile: bought as a thermal base layer, but smart enough to wear as leggings in their own right, or to pass off as thick tights with a skirt. The generous shaping and thick waistband means they are comfortable and neither dig in or pull down at the back. I was initially unsure about spending so much on a base layer but so glad I did, I will definitely be investing in another pair!
