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.

And (Bags at least) they have deep pockets! I wore Bags at work from 1984
until I retired in 2015. Still do (but not the same pair!)



Im always intrigued by the obsession Rohan have with €˜secret pockets,
especially in shirts.

As for their trousers, I like the convertible ones- ideal when traveling
and especially when walking, although the zips in the legs do tend to set
of airport scanners and confuse the handheld ones they use to check you
with.
