A simple design with a high specification technical fabric for an ultra-lightweight jacket that performs excellently as a warm and supremely comfortable mid-layer.
Read more…We’ve been using Microgrid fabric since the turn of the century, approaching half a million sales since its launch. Now with added stretch, for greater freedom of movement.
Designed using advanced Microgrid fleece, a soft, brushed polyester fabric which uses a sophisticated ‘needle-out’ knitting technique to create a grid pattern on the surface of the fabric. These grids give the jacket an attractive textured appearance whilst enabling the fabric to trap air - this is the key to the jacket’s surprisingly high levels of warmth while still remaining incredibly lightweight and packable.
It’s also breathable and naturally high wicking, allowing the garment to management moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable with all the same warmth as a much heavier, ordinary fleece.
This remarkable material maximises the properties of its stretch for supreme comfort, fit and freedom of movement without restriction. The sleeve cuffs also have thumbholes, which provide additional warmth, comfort and protection.
It features three zipped pockets for security of valuables, one of which doubles up as a Packpocket™ for convenient storage. With mesh lining that can also double as a vent when the pocket is left open, perfect for active outdoor enthusiasts. Layer up under a waterproof or windproof outer layer or perfect on its own as a fleece jacket.
Fabric:
100% Polyester
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.
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.
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.

Love this colour .
Am a big fan of the microrib and find them so versatile : warm enough for dog walking, travelling and lounge wear . Yet smart enough for work .
Think the price point is rather high given recent price hike
In terms of cost per wear probably irons it out.
