About Rohan Durham
Paul and Sarah Howcroft created Rohan with customer needs at the heart of everything they did. This is as true today as it was then. Their passion for designing outdoor clothing started with the activity, before incorporating relevant fabric technologies for comfort and protection in Britain’s varied climate.
Their first product, a pair of quick-drying mountaineering salopettes, launched in 1975. This was followed by the Windlord Gwalhir Jacket, worn by Messner and Habeler on the first ascent of Everest without oxygen. The jacket was pioneering, as it was a combination of super lightweight, windproof, and breathable, creating a barrier against the harshest elements. It put Rohan on the map.
Over 50 years later our expansive range includes outdoor, travel and city clothing and consists of everything from waterproofs, jackets and trousers to jeans, skirts and suits.
