Saving some of Great Britain’s most remarkable buildings is laudable, allowing the Great British public to stay is genius.
A cold snap and classic walking country make the very English county of Shropshire the perfect place to test Rohan’s winter gear.
Rohanists around the country are breathing new life into old outdoor clobber. A resounding success in 2012.

Discover som this winter Rohanists don’t tend to hibernate through winter and then emerge from their dens in April sniffing the air. Bad weather just calls for better clothing and the rewards for getting out during the fiercest months are waiting. Feel the biting cold on your cheeks in the morning turn into a hot flush as soon as you enter a snug pub for lunch. See foggy clouds of breath as you toil up wintry hills. Share a wry smile with other walkers, who haven’t let a cold wet January day ruin their cold wet January day. Discover a brilliant British winter.

Life can be simple Leave the treadmill. Leave the emails. Don’t work-out, just get out and feel the cold snap, taste the rain and see your breath in the cold air. Stargaze rather than Google. Slow cook and savour instead of grabbing fast food. And live a little more in the here and now. Rohan is about warmth, protection and breathability without any palaver. The less overtly technical your clothing is, the more versatile it can be. If you can take something off a garment and you haven’t made it worse, you have just made it better. And in the same way that understated people just get more done, so does understated gear. Like life, gear can be simple.

Discovering warmth in an undiscovered county Despite being a county of more than 1,200 square miles, Shropshire has fewer than 300,000 residents, with most of these people living in Telford! This leaves the ancient Clee Hills, Long Mynd and Clun Forest largely undiscovered and certainly unspoilt. Ironic when you think Shropshire is known as the birthplace of industry. And Shropshire’s wildlife is a constant surprise. Buzzards and rare Red Kites wheel through border valleys and bright blue Kingfishers are known to startle shoppers in the pretty market town of Shrewsbury. Whisper quiet hills, friendly locals and some amazing places to stay. If you haven’t discovered this very British county it’s probably time you did.

Suddenly a short, sporty cut jacket will start to look like a very bad idea. Hence the Hilltop, a proper walking jacket for proper walkers who aren’t planning to hibernate this winter. 1. Women’s Hilltop Jacket Our top-specification waterproof designed with a longer length. Code: 03506

And because they look nothing like your regular waterproof trousers they are much, much more versatile. They are perfect for walking in cold and wet conditions, working outside all day, cheering from a frozen touchline, golfing all-year round, a rainy cycle commute, fieldwork from Britain to the Arctic, wintry city breaks, après ski and pretty much everything else where you’re braving the elements this winter.

Elastane provides a four-way stretch for freedom of movement without the need for excess fabric.

Roamers
Roamers are a very technical hard working pair of walking trousers, it’s just that they look like a pair of smart everyday trousers. So if you want to wear them to a restaurant or to work as well as on the hill – that’s fine. They sit on the natural waist with a gently elasticated waistband and the fabric blends stretchy fibres with super tough polyamide. The result is that they are super comfy, lightweight, breathable, tough and stretch in every way that you do. It’s worth calling into a Rohan shop to try these on – we’d be surprised if you didn’t tell us that these are the most comfortable walking trousers you’ve ever worn.

To really know a place, you must learn it with your feet. Britain on Foot is a national campaign with one clear objective – to encourage more people in Britain to get active outdoors. This could mean walking to work, hillwalking, geocaching with the family, trail running or even mountaineering. Created and led by the Outdoor Industries Association, Britain on Foot is a campaign that aims to provide a nationally recognised umbrella under which the many hundreds of local and regional
outdoor related initiatives, most of which share the same goals, can sit. Britain on Foot has the potential to make an enormously positive impact on the health and wealth of the nation, by simply getting more of the public active! The initiative will be launched in March 2013 and there are loads of ways for everyone to get involved.

GIFT YOUR GEAR – a big thank you During September of last year, Rohan partnered with Recycle Outdoor Gear (ROG) and the Gift Your Gear initiative, to offer the opportunity to take unwanted usable outdoor trousers, fleeces and jackets, regardless of brand, to your nearest Rohan shop. This applied to all brands, not just Rohan. So it was alright to ‘own-up’ to having other brands as well as Rohan! The outdoor gear donated made a
real difference to local community organisations, youth groups and charities. It enabled others to benefit from life changing experiences in the great outdoors, regardless of their circumstances. All outdoor gear donated to Gift Your Gear is reused for its original purpose. It is not traded, recycled or sent to landfill. Sarah Howcroft, founder of ROG told Rohantime;
“If an outdoor jacket is worn for a couple of years then ends up forgotten in the back of a wardrobe its useful life is never achieved. Most outdoor gear will last much longer than most people want. If that jacket is donated through Gift Your Gear, to a local community organisation or charity working in the outdoors, the useful life of the jacket is extended and another person gets to experience the joy of good gear”.
“Thank you to everyone concerned at Recycle Outdoor Gear and Rohan for the brilliant donation of outdoor waterproofs, fleeces, etc. which are truly wonderful. Everyone’s kindness will help disadvantaged children and young people across East London to have their first experience of the great outdoors properly kitted out and safe. Over 3,000 young people will be participating in our various outdoor adventures each year, using the skills and disciplines learnt through outdoor activities in all aspects of their personal, social and educational development, helping to ensure that their full potential is achieved. On behalf of the most disadvantaged children and young people across East London. Many many thanks” Kevin Jenkins Co-Founder/Senior Advisor: Community Links Canning Town The Brede Arkless Outdoors in the City Centre was the first recipient of Rohan’s Gift Your Gear donations. It is a unique facility offering the thrills, challenges and excitement of the great outdoors in inner city Newham.
Gift Your Gear has been a resounding success and the plan is to repeat it in March 2013. Dates haven’t been set, so please keep an eye on Rohantime to find out more. www.rohantime.com

In the beginning there were Bags… Our iconic Bags are the original multi-function outdoor trousers and the blueprint for all technical trekking and travel trousers. Everything in our clothing range and, whatever they may say, everyone else’s, owes something to their design.
Astonishingly, they were first introduced back in 1978. And since then have been intertwined in the history of Rohan. To understand more, we’ve asked Rohan co-founder Sarah Howcroft to tell us how they came about.
How important have Bags been to the Rohan name? Over the years, very important. Bags carry the Rohan lineage. Look at a pair of Bags and you will see they are timeless. Very few companies are selling a product that has such a lineage in the outdoor industry.
What was the inspiration behind them? Bags came about to accommodate the clothing needs of a group of mountaineers called Alpinists – elite climbers who carried all their kit to the high mountains rather than the Sherpa style whereby the kit is carried for you. They needed their gear to be lightweight, fast drying, easycare, durable and keep all their documents, passports and money safe. I think that sums up Bags. We worked very closely with this group during the 70’s and early 80’s. Many lived in the Yorkshire area.
How did you design all the pockets, were they for specific items? As mentioned earlier, the pockets had to be secure. So you could hang upside down and nothing would fall out. They had to be comfortable. That’s why Mark l Bags which had a thigh pocket were soon replaced with Mark l l Bags which did not have a thigh pocket. They were not comfortable. In the early days the fact that the pockets could accommodate an OS map was attractive. There has never been a Mark l l l Bags.
Was the fabric already proven? AirlightTM fabric is unique to Rohan. So it was tested by ourselves and the Alpinists. Nothing went into production unless we were happy. It’s a very durable fabric. I am still wearing Bags and an Olfio that are older than my grown-up son.
Yes, as with all the Rohan range. Colour is important to us all. We always tried to bring other colours into the outdoor market. Rohan Keswick have a fantastic display of Bags heritage colours in the Rohan Originals collection, see rohantime.com/3682/bags-ofcolour-in-rohan-keswick.
When did you first come up with the idea for them? Long before they first came to market. Early Rohan was much more about fabric innovation than garment innovation. We needed a fabric suitable for a need rather than a specific design. So along came Airlight.TM It’s a polyester and fine cotton woven so tightly that it could offer what we needed. Highly wind resistant, fast drying, durable, comfortable and light.

Given that they were so innovative, were there problems manufacturing them? Yes, but the manufacturing skill available to us in Leeds was world-beating at the time. Garment failure, was not an option. Did you anticipate that they would be such a success? I would be lying if I said yes. By the time Bags came onto the market we had established a reputation for innovation. So we had a loyal following. What became very obvious was the growth of the travel market was going to have a big effect on Bags. Or Bags were going to have a big effect on the travel market. They were and still are ideal for the lightweight traveller. Do you have a favourite Bags story? Many of my favourites are told on Rohantime. In particular, Chris Townsend’s great walks of the 1980’s – The Chris Townsend Chronicles 1975-1985 – Rohantime.

Discover Rohan Distilled Our Microgrid and Microrib fleeces are our best selling tops every year without fail. So each season we try to create new styles and colours to keep things interesting. And every season we sell out! We love it that they’re so popular, but what is most comforting is that the Microgrids are Rohan condensed into just one thing. They are light. They only weigh around 250 grams. They pack away tiny. They roll up to as little as 800ml, making them the perfect spare warmth layer. They protect. Because the tiny holes in the fleece trap air to insulate, their warmth-to-weight ratio is unbeatable. They are easycare. They wash beautifully, dry in under 6 hours and of course, need no ironing. They are versatile. Because they look pretty smart for a fleece, they are as likely to be seen at work as they are on a high mountain. And they work brilliantly as a simple warm jumper or a technical mid-layer. If you want to discover what Rohan is all about, a Microgrid fleece is a great place to start.

Discover Britain’s most historic buildings ...then borrow one. The Landmark Trust is a charity that rescues important buildings that would otherwise be lost forever. Landmark takes on historic places in danger, carefully and sensitively restoring them and then, by making them available for holidays, ensures they can be enjoyed by all, both now and in the future. There are over 190 buildings in Britain and several in Italy and France which are in Landmark’s care. Though they range from the sober to the spectacular, all their buildings are rich in history and atmosphere. They include follies, castles, towers, banqueting houses, cottages and other unusual buildings. Some are for just two people, others for up to sixteen and all Landmarks are self-catering. Staying in a Landmark Trust building is an unforgettable experience. The cost of acquiring and restoring buildings is wholly dependant on donations, with income from holidays paying for ongoing maintenance.
