I travel light anyway (I wear mostly Rohan gear), and there were things I

You need deep pockets to buy Rohan clothing these days :-(

22 types of mens trousers, now including 'jeans' (*) but no
more Uplanders for some reason. My 25-YO pair are getting
tired.

(*) The very thing that the original Rohan founders despised
and the reason why the developed their own easy-dry fabrics.


Not only do Rohan last, if there is a problem, their after sales service is
excellent. I had a zip fail on a pair of trousers after several years. We
were traveling at the time (in the UK) but took them into a Rohan shop.
They found me on their computer, told me to pick another pair of trousers,
and that was it.

They dry quickly etc, are very comfortable.

My only gripe is they stopped making my favourite winter shirt and Im down
to my last one.

They (Rohan) have expanded into business clothes- although they arent as
€˜smart as I would like,more the €˜European look than traditional English
style.
