2016 Welcome to Winter by Rohan

WELCOME TO WINTER

Down without the downsides | Svalbard: the nearest far-away place | Christmas gifts that work Winter-ready legwear | Arctic Tern: A journey beyond boundaries | European Christmas Markets

Soft, warm layers for the harsh, cold weather. Summer’s promise of long clear days on the hill can so often turn into drizzly in-between days. As they might say where Rohan was born, over forty years ago, amongst the North York Moors – it’s been more ‘backendish’ than summery this year. But winter will almost certainly deliver on its promise of plenty of cold, wet weather for us to get our teeth into. And because Rohan customers aren’t the types to wait for the rain, wind and snow to pass, we have all the

protection, warmth and comfort you’ll need to make the most of this coming winter. Take advantage of quiet hills, crisp, frosty ground and the clearest wintry light. And if your journey is a long one, we’re here to help. We can, of course, only give a taste of the Rohan range in a catalogue like this, so call into one of our friendly shops to see what’s new and get any advice you might need. And, as always, everything is available online.

It’s perfect for retaining core warmth whilst still giving you complete freedom of movement. Packing down into its own Packpocket,TM it can be stuffed away in your bag and is ready to slip over your base layer, shirt or fleece when the temperature drops. And being a Rohan vest, it also has an extra level of comfort built in, with fleece facings around the chin and inside the hand pockets. Colour: Blue Shadow Sizes: S-XL Code: 04385

Down without the downsides. There’s nothing more packable, with a better warmth-to-weight ratio than premium down. In many ways this makes it ideal for a travel jacket. The Tundra Jacket and Vest offer the perfect combination of thermal technology, comfort and discreet good looks. And a Durable Water RepellencyTM finish helps to protect the 650+ down filling. Here’s to a very warm welcome to the coldest depths of winter.

MEN’S SHIRTS

All climates. All weather. All year. Shirts with stealth technology. We make many different types and styles of shirts, and every single one is underpinned by performance. Our shirts look and feel like cotton, yet the warmth, wicking performance, drying time, crease resistance and sun protection are in a different league. The Newcountry Shirt is a warm, reversible overshirt that insulates like a fleece jacket.

And the Crosscheck Shirt is also incredibly warm despite being light and soft – just like brushed cotton. The Frontier is a serious expedition shirt with sun and insect protection technology built in, and the Worldview works far harder than a cotton shirt ever could. It fights odours, sheds stains and creases, and dries in a flash.

MEN’S MERINO

World-ready wool. Extrafine Merino Knitted V Neck

Merino wool is beautifully soft, cosy and comfortable with excellent anti-microbial properties. The only downside is that sometimes there can be a trade-off between softness and practicality – that’s why we’ve offered nature a little help. Our technical knitwear range starts with the softest merino. Then through extra fine knitting techniques and clever finishing processes we make it ready for the harsh realities of world travel. It’s merino wool supercharged with Rohan fabric know-how.

Men’s Extrafine Merino Knitted V Neck As well as offering superb warmth and softness, merino wool is a natural performance fabric. It fights odour and effectively regulates your body’s temperature. Extra fine knitting technology gives added practicality whilst retaining softness and antimicrobial qualities. This beautiful jumper is deceptively easy to look after, packs away tiny and weighs very little. Colours: Dark Plum (left) and Kingfisher Blue (below) Sizes: S-XXL Code: 04417

MEN’S TROUSERS

WINTER-READY LEGWEAR

Winter Fusions Fusion Jacket and ECCO Yura Thrill GTX Shoes – rohan.co.uk

Early Rohan product testing on legwear revealed a very interesting truth. Keeping the large leg muscles insulated serves as a heat source for the rest of the body. This one piece of information can actually transform the way you dress for the cold. Warmer legs means that you can wear fewer layers on top. This is a lighter, freer, less bulky and altogether more comfortable way to wrap up for winter.

TRAVEL

SVALBARD The nearest far-away place on the planet.

five hour hop via Norway, and you get the distinct feeling walking down rickety plane steps that you are stepping off the map. The most famous Svalbard fact may be that polar bears outnumber people – when it comes to strangeness however this isn’t even on the scale. Its remoteness and at times questionable sovereignty have led to a mash of influences, from brutally taking advantage of natural resources to scientific investigation. Almost certainly originally discovered by Viking explorers, the southernmost tip was known as Bjørnøya (Bear Island), and until the Victorian demand for oil drove the whaling industry north, the island held little appeal. The walruses that lay shoulder to massive shoulder were easy pickings for those who could make the journey. Split by the Gulf Stream, Svalbard has one side that is far more Arctic than the other. The cold east side is polar bear domain and the west is where the humans have mostly made their mark. Although with Svalbard being the only place on the planet where polar bear numbers are actually on the increase, they tend to wander. For ‘out-there’ laws, how does this one rate? It’s actually illegal to leave town in Svalbard without a gun. Our guide likes to spook us about the bears, telling us that for every polar bear we set eyes upon, no less than nine have seen us. Which does make the sceptical traveller wonder how on earth human eyes were able to count this. The town you’re most likely to be leaving with your gun toting guide is Longyearbyen. A low rise far-northern settlement of brightly coloured wooden slatted homes. Even here, nothing is as it seems. Arrive expecting to live on pickled herring washed down with fierce home-brew and be astonished by a tiny town with dozens of restaurants offering food from all over the world and a bar that boasts one of the largest collections of fine whiskies in the world. Once you’re outside Longyearbyen or Pyramiden, the island is a true wilderness. No power, no shops, no roads, nothing. It makes for journeys that are memorable, but not easy. You travel by ship, RIB speedboat, kayak, skidoo or on foot. Svalbard holds huge deposits of coal. But the location constantly unbalances the balance sheet. The remarkable mining settlement of Pyramiden is now a ghostly tourist destination.

Northern Lights

Armed guide

Longyearbyen

“The most famous Svalbard fact may be that polar bears outnumber people – when it comes to strangeness however this isn’t even on the scale.”

The cost of shipping back to mother Russia meant the mines have long been empty and also many everyday objects still lay untouched, giving the place an eerie feel. The relics of Scottish mining attempts can look even more remarkable as you come across lone, abandoned cabins that invite you to wonder just how hard a person’s life must be in a place that must have felt like it was constantly trying to kill you. Even the seasons are remarkable. Twenty four hours of daylight in summer is matched by 24 hours of darkness in winter. And because summer is so sudden, it is dramatic. The island bursts into life – packing

birth, reproduction and death into a tiny dramatic time frame. Plants, indigenous mammals and, to be fair, even the human population all come alive in the briefest of seasons. Its northerly remoteness not only makes it one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, but a haven for scientific researchers. The university runs unique environmental courses; the observatory looks into the clearest skies and a huge tunnel holds a seed bank of every recorded species of plant on earth. If the worst happens to our world, it turns out we will all be relying on this strange island that so often feels like it’s on a different planet.

MEN’S FLEECE

Hassle-free warmth – washable, durable and lightweight. They look like woolly jumpers, but work like a technical fleece. Rohan’s range of knitted fleece jackets and tops are soft and warm like a favourite woolly but have all the technical benefits of a performance fleece. They will keep their shape for years, pack away small and dry quickly if you’re caught in a rain shower. Lovely looking tops with hidden performance – very Rohan.

Men’s Downtown Jacket For many who live in damp European climates, the lure of down jackets has been limited. If the heavens open you are much better protected in a fleece and a waterproof shell.

MEN’S INSULATION

Welcome to warmth. Prepare to batten down the hatches and wrap up warm. As a very gentle autumn turns into a bracing winter, it’s time to plan for the coldest days, clearest skies and quietest hills. And if you’re a Rohan enthusiast, there’ll be no intention to hibernate. Making the most of winter means proven waterproofs, 650+ fill power down jackets, insulated legs and plenty of warmth layers. If you’re getting ready for winter, it turns out that Akela had it right all along – there’s nothing quite like being prepared.

Men’s Icepack Vest

Men’s Icepack Jacket

Men’s Daylite Vest

If you haven’t been converted to a gilet yet, this is the perfect one to try. Your core temperature is protected whilst the extra ventilation around the arms keeps you cool when you’re most active. This vest is filled with InsuloftTM wadding. Its warmth-to-weight ratio is exceptional, yet it’s easycare, machine washable, fast drying and durable.

With a better warmth-to-weight ratio than fleece and better performance when wet than conventional down, this InsuloftTM filled jacket is an essential lightweight winter jacket. It’s happy with a spin in the washing machine, and because it’s Rohan, it will dry in a flash and last for years. The face fabric easily shrugs off showers and has a subtle matt appearance.

Traditional down is the perfect insulation for cold, dry climates. In temperate Europe, its weaknesses are exposed. Our water repellent down, protected by a fabric with a Durable Water RepellencyTM finish, effectively solves down’s fatal flaw. And to make this vest even more durable, its side and shoulder panels are filled with Insuloft,TM offering warmth and excellent abrasion resistance.

MEN’S WATERPROOFS

Women’s Hilltop Jacket – rohan.co.uk

3. Men’s Hilltop Jacket

4. Men’s Dry Delta Jacket

5. Men’s Outpost Jacket

A no-compromise, three-quarter length waterproof for British hillwalkers and outdoor professionals. It covers your bum and thighs so it has to be nearly torrential before it’s worth putting overtrousers on. It’s made from durable 2-layer Barricade,TM our classleading waterproof, breathable fabric. There are two internal zipped pockets, one sized correctly for an OS map and the other with room to keep a phone, wallet and compass safe and dry. The Hilltop was designed for complete protection in the mountains but is also ideal as a hard-working city mac.

Not everyone wants to look like they’re about to climb K2 when they’re on a drizzly commute or taking a stroll on one of those in-between days. But everyone wants a waterproof to work when the heavens open. The Men’s Dry Delta Jacket not only looks good, it also does its job when the time comes – it’s a hard-working waterproof without any fuss. This understated technical jacket is a high-performance Harrington. With its waterproof and wind resistant membrane lining and fast-drying outer, it’s at home wherever it goes, whether that’s the golf course, a wintry city or even a windswept hillside.

The Outpost Jacket will keep you warm, dry and ready for whatever the elements can throw at you. Taking its styling from the North American parka – with a longer length, large capacity pockets plus hand-warmer pockets – it gives you all the high performance and comfort of a rugged Rohan shell. It’s lightweight, waterproof and breathable with a fixed InsuloftTM wadded inner that offers maximum warmth and practicality. Unlike most parkas, ours doesn’t have a faux fur hood. Rohan doesn’t do faux. It’s not enough for a product to be inspired by outdoor adventure; it needs to really work. So instead of faux fur, you have a super warm InsuloftTM filled face panel.

THE ARCTIC TERN

A JOURNEY Beyond

Boundaries

ummer is short in the Arctic. And as it bursts into life it attracts visitors from many thousands of miles away. In spring as the warm salty current of the Gulf Stream stops the waters from freezing and nurtures a mass of plankton, the grey whale travels no less than five thousand miles to reach the rich feeding grounds of Svalbard, and cranes and snow geese travel even further, from Mexico and China. All are citizens of the world and a powerful

example for seeing the planet beyond geographical boundaries. Visiting birds to this Norwegian Arctic archipelago are a central part of the dramatic transformation from winter lockdown to frenzied spring. They define the place, with a wild aerial dance, raucous music and frenetic character as they feed, breed and raise their young. Of the three million birds that flock to Svalbard in springtime, the most remarkable journey is undertaken by the Arctic tern. With long tail streamers and slender white body, it’s known sometimes as the ‘sea swallow’. This tiny black-capped bird that only weighs around 100 grams spends its winters in the Antarctic and makes an incredible circumpolar flight of 22,000 miles twice each year. This is the longest journey of any migrating bird. And since the Arctic tern will often live for thirty years it can clock up an amazing 1.5 million air miles – that’s

three times to the moon and back! Despite the array of incredible terrain this little bird flies over, it finally nests on relatively open ground. It then defends its home fiercely against predators including Arctic foxes and even polar bears. A rain shower of relentless darting red beaks can be enough to chase away even a hungry bear. This aggressive behaviour explains why you’ll see Svalbard locals crossing open ground with a broomstick jutting upwards out of their backpacks. Arctic terns attack the highest part of the intruder – even if it’s a mop head. There’s no need to travel to Svalbard to see this incredible little creature. Breeding terns can best be seen in Britain in such places as the Farne Islands in Northumberland or on the Northern Isles. They can also be seen on their spring passage at inland reservoirs and around the coast in autumn as they head south.

“This tiny blackcapped bird that only weighs around 100 grams spends its winters in the Antarctic and makes an incredible circumpolar flight of 22,000 miles twice each year.”

Bags. The trousers that started it all. In the seventies, better protection meant heavier clothes. Rohan was founded to turn this traditional world view on its head. Bags achieved this. They said they would never sell. Too light, too many pockets and way too different. Imitation followed scepticism. Now, whatever they may say, all outdoor trekking and travel trousers owe something to Bags.

Our Bridgeport Shirt is inspired by a classic country look, as you would expect from Rohan, the technology is anything but traditional. ThermocoreTM fabric is a hollow-core synthetic yarn that feels like brushed cotton but has a much better warmth-to-weight ratio, dries in around half the time and is far more durable. With a slightly slimmer fit and a button‑down collar, it’s a smart looking, hard-working work shirt. Colours: Ink Oxford (shown left and worn opposite bottom left), Team Blue Gingham (shown worn opposite top left), also available in Dusky Forest Tattersall Sizes: S-XL Code: 04442

3. Men’s Headland Jacket

4. Men’s On Route Trousers

Performance clothing doesn’t need to look overtly technical. In fact, the more ‘everyday ’ it appears, the more versatile it can prove to be. The Headland Vest is a soft, warm gilet that doesn’t look like you’re about to pit yourself against nature. If a fleece vest like this isn’t a cornerstone of your outdoor gear collection, you should probably give this one a go. It’s one of those pieces of kit you just end up living in.

With an attractive knitted outer and a brushed inner, this jacket offers excellent heat retention and highwicking performance. It’s light, highly breathable and extremely packable. Layer it up with one of our waterproof shells and it will be ideal for walking, trekking and adventurous travel, but team it with jeans or chinos and a polo shirt, and it will be perfect for everyday casual use.

A great example of understated performance. Lightweight, machine washable and ready to keep your valuables safe, with three external zipped security pockets. These hardwearing walking and travel trousers have advanced moisture wicking technology – keeping you comfortable and dry as you tackle everything from the hills to far-flung cities.

Women

Women’s Cold Harbour Coat A classic winter coat reinvented by combining natural wool with Rohan technical fabrics. It gives the warmth of wool with the practicalities of modern synthetics. It’s great looking, light and crease resistant. Fully lined and with a longer cut, well below the waistline, the Cold Harbour keeps the heat right where you need it, so you can travel in comfort and style, through the lowest of temperatures. An added benefit of this clever fabric blend is that unlike most woollen coats, it’s easy to care for, will keep its shape and performance for many years, and is more than happy with a spin in the washing machine.

CHRISTMAS MARKETS

’TIS THE

SEASON

It’s that time of year again, and nothing gets you in the Christmas mood more than markets and festivals. Here we’ve chosen four of the best happening around Europe.

BRUSSELS 25 Nov – 1 Jan A lively 2km long stretch of bars, pop-up restaurants and market stalls. A good choice if you have children to entertain as there are merry-go-rounds, rides and a giant ferris wheel. And for the grown-ups there’s a toboggan run and a Thursday night disco on ice – both extreme activities after a glass or two of glühwein.

TALLINN 20 Nov – 8 Jan Expect snow around the Town Hall Square in Tallinn. Estonia’s towering Christmas tree is surrounded by little huts selling their wares – lots of handicraft stalls will help with last minute gifts and of course there’s always lots of festive food and drink. The chilly temperatures mean there are dramatic ice sculptures to see and for live entertainment there is a busy programme of performances by song and dance groups, and choirs from all over Estonia.

BRUGES 18 Nov – 1 Jan

LILLE 18 Nov – 30 Dec

A proper fairy-tale Christmas destination. Romantic, chocolate box pretty with a High Medieval Period belfry towering over the canal that glitters with reflected fairy lights. The main Grote Markt is arranged around the ice rink. And it’s a chance to see if real life can measure up to Martin McDonagh’s truly outstanding comedy/crime drama ‘In Bruges’ from 2008.

Whizzing along on Eurostar for just one hour and twentytwo minutes from London St Pancras gets you into the heart of Lille, which gives a rich mix of Flemish and French culture. Wander off down the winding cobbled streets getting podged on buttery Babelutte caramels and slightly sozzled on gin-like genièvre. And you’ll be home in no time.

WOMEN’S TOURING

Complete protection. Because cities have fierce weather too, we’ve put all we’ve learned in the mountains into this super warm, waterproof winter coat. Urban styling meets mountain protection. Women’s Northshore Coat This may well be the warmest waterproof coat we’ve ever made. BarricadeTM fabric is tough and highly breathable, and together with a Durable Water RepellencyTM finish, will keep you dry through the heaviest downpours. And InsuloftTM wadding keeps you warm on the coldest days. There’s a removable mountain hood, once again, lined with Insuloft,TM to give complete protection. And when it finally needs a wash, just pop it into the washing machine. Colours: Black (shown), also available in Stormy Sky Sizes: XS-L, Black also available in XL Code: 04379

£225

Women’s City Stride Trousers Perfect for everything from a wintry city break to long-haul travel. A brushed backing boosts warmth, stretch gives comfort, and they are quick drying, high wicking and crease resistant. Colour: Grey Marl Sizes: Short leg (29") 8-18. Reg leg (31") 8-20 Code: 04406

COLOUR

Women’s Inish Chino

Women’s Stria Polo A classic polo with technical benefits. Everyday good looks combine with fast drying, high wicking performance. When you finally do need to wash it, it’ll dry in no time.

Women’s Extrafine Merino Knitted Top Extra fine knitting and careful design means this classic merino V-neck jumper is easycare as well as good looking and luxuriously soft.

A relaxed fit and timeless chino styling means these trousers fit in just about anywhere. The durable performance fabric has stretch built in, which together with a carefully considered cut, gives great freedom of movement and comfort for long days, whether travelling, walking or working.

A Durable Water RepellencyTM finish helps to protect the 650+ down filling and there’s still nothing with a better warmth-toweight ratio than premium down.

WOMEN’S INSULATION

Winter warmth with Rohan practicality. Women’s Cocoon Coat We made the Cocoon Coat because sub-zero temperatures aren’t restricted to the mountains. This is reflected in its flattering profile and urban good looks. It uses the same fabrics and insulation as our most technical jackets, with extra warmth around the core. This means its warmth‑to‑weight ratio is outstanding. It’s water repellent and highly wind resistant. A fleece sided PackpocketTM allows it to double up as a cosy travel pillow. And unlike lots of insulated jackets, it’s happy with a quick spin in the washing machine.

Filled with Insuloft, cutting-edge wadded insulation, this gilet’s warmth-to-weight ratio is exceptional. It’s easycare, machine washable, fast drying and durable. If you haven’t been converted to a gilet yet, this is the perfect one to try. Your core temperature is protected, whilst extra ventilation around the arms keeps you cool when you’re most active.

Whether you’re sightseeing, sailing, or simply braving the winter winds, our Winter Roamers are ready to keep the chill out and the heat in. Made from a sophisticated blend of polyamide and stretchy elastane, they’re tough, durable and fit like a dream. What’s more, their extra warm, brushed lining traps heat even when the temperature drops below zero.

This classic plaid shirt in a technical fabric knocks spots off the cotton competition. It’s lighter, tougher, more breathable and far quicker drying. And unlike cotton, it keeps you warm even when it gets wet. A clever hollow-core fabric is the secret behind turning this everyday style into a great performance shirt.

DECEMBER EVENTS

things to brighten up december

Durham Christmas Festival

This tiny cathedral city that oozes history and charm hosts a three day Christmas festival from 2 December. The World Heritage Site of the cathedral and castle come to life with lots of crafts and gifts. There are events and shopping in the cathedral cloisters, the Market Hall and Millennium Place. Highlights are carols in the cathedral on Saturday and Sunday, and falconry displays and kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entertainment on Palace Green between the cathedral and the castle. durhamchristmasfestival.com

Read The Living Mountain and visit the Cairngorm Plateau Windswept and exposed, The Cairngorm Plateau is the Arctic of the British Isles. December means the quietest of days and often brings the first true taste of winter. Days are short but with the right weather conditions, early morning and late evening light is exceptional. And for armchair inspiration read Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain, a beautifully poetic book that captures a deep sense of place. When so much mountain literature is written by men, it’s little surprise that it’s dominated by stories of bravery focused on reaching summits, nearly dying and barely making it home. This book has an altogether different energy and depth of observation about it. On the subject of summits, she writes, ‘The Plateau is the true summit of these mountains; they must be seen as a single mountain, and the individual tops… no more than eddies on the plateau surface.’ Combining this reflective book with the silence of the plateau is close to a religious experience for lovers of wild places.

Portmeirion Food & Craft Fair 2–4 DECEMBER

Made famous by the cult ’70s TV series The Prisoner, Portmeirion is also home to a charming food and craft fair every December. With over 90 stalls this year, the emphasis is on local produce and artistry. There are cookery and craft demonstrations, Christmassy entertainment and, of course, bracing mulled wine to help with the cold winds coming in from the coast. It’s an excellent place to find unique Christmas presents and sample some of Wales’ finest food and drink.

A wacky day out in London A December London trip doesn’t have to be the museum again and the same markets. And if you’ve failed the medical for the Air Force, your feet were too flat for the army, and you’re afraid of water, there’s no need to give up hope. Here’s a second chance to do your bit. It’s 1943, and the French Resistance are recruiting secret agents to join the fight. You’ll find yourself in a secret bunker back in time. Working for the French Resistance and making your way to the centre of their operations eventually tips you out at a Moulin Rouge inspired restaurant where your three course dinner awaits. aplaceintime.co.uk/1943

WOMEN’S TOPS

Women’s Essence T Long Sleeve

Women’s Merino Union 200 Top

The perfect top for the world traveller, the hiker who doesn’t want to look too much like a hiker, or the savvy urbanite. It’s designed to make everyday life easier so it washes brilliantly, dries overnight and doesn’t need ironing. Technical fibres ensure it wicks moisture away from the skin when you’re working hard or in hot conditions, whilst stretch in the fabric helps to keep you feeling unrestrained and comfortable.

This clever V-neck blends merino and synthetic fibres to provide the best of both worlds. It’s durable and easy to look after but has the natural warmth, softness and breathability only merino wool can offer. One to pack for those who feel the cold more than others, or maybe for a slightly more extreme adventure. For a lighter weight version, take a look at the Merino Union 150 Crew on page 55.

WOMEN’S DENIM

Denim done better. Our jeans may look like regular jeans, but in terms of performance they’re the opposite. Made from Denim PlusTM – a sophisticated fusion of cotton and advanced modern synthetics, they weigh much less, dry faster, are more packable and far more comfortable than normal jeans. These are pretty much the only jeans you won’t regret wearing on a long-haul flight. A discreet design touch is a hidden security pocket under the rear yoke.

By transforming the functionality of denim, Rohan has created jeans that are now truly comfortable and practical for the long haul.

GIFT YOUR GEAR

Thank you... In 2012, we first partnered with Gift Your Gear, an award winning nationwide initiative founded by Rohan co-founder Sarah Howcroft, with the aim of collecting old but useful outdoor gear in each of our shops, regardless of brand, and ensuring it gets a new lease of life with UK community organisations, youth groups and charities desperate for kit. We want to encourage as much participation in outdoors activity as we can. Clearly our customers feel the same. Throughout September, Rohan customers have been searching lofts, wardrobes and garages for unwanted outdoor gear which they have generously donated to Gift Your Gear. Numerous items including waterproof jackets, walking trousers, fleece tops and accessories

Avon Tyrrell, UK Youth Outdoor Activity Centre.

are en route to the ‘Big Sort’ in Manchester. In addition, to support the need for children’s outerwear, Rohan made 1,000 mini versions of the Cloudscape Jacket and have donated one for every child’s item brought to one of our stores this year, giving a real boost to charities encouraging the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts. The contribution from Rohan customers has been exceptional. Our teams in-store love to hear about the history of the garments being donated, how many miles travelled and adventures enjoyed. We know some things are difficult to part with and are amazed by people’s generosity. On behalf of everyone at Rohan, we would like to say a very big ‘thank you’. Find out more at giftyourgear.com
