Men's Hilltop Jacket
A top-specification waterproof designed in a longer length for complete protection. Read more…
Our Hilltop Jacket is a bit of an unusual design these days.
It’s a top-specification, longer-length waterproof designed to offer something that everyone who’s out and about in wet British weather needs most – extra protection.
For those with short memories, it used to be different. Longer length waterproofs used to be commonplace. But now, the vagaries of outdoor fashion and the desire for the ‘alpine look’, have made them harder and harder to find.
Outdoor ‘fashion’, however, is not really top of the agenda for our customers – or us. Our customers tend to know their own mind. And we know you’re not easily swayed by the whims of fashion. Which is why our Hilltop Jacket has been such a great seller.
Totally waterproof, wind resistant and highly breathable, it’s made using our very own, bespoke 2-layer Barricade™ technology with our highly effective Durable Water Repellency™ finish.
The Hilltop Jacket features deep, zipped waterproof hand pockets, a zipped internal chest pocket and a big zipped map pocket. And, as you’d expect, it swallows up the Guild of Pocket Designers’ worst nightmare – the British Ordnance Survey map.
The hood offers complete protection in a proper downpour and cinches, without fuss, with our neat single pull adjustment system. It has a stiffened and wired peak to adjust to the direction of rain. And when not in use, it packs away into the collar for a smarter, everyday appearance – which is quite handy if you’re heading into town. Plus, the collar is lined with soft-touch micro fleece for extra comfort.
The cuffs are adjustable and the waist adjusts with a draw-cord hidden inside the hand pockets – which means you can get the perfect fit and fine-tune the ventilation on the go. The Hilltop Jacket now also has an attractive checked lining.
Barricade™
Our barricade™ waterproof technology achieves an initial Hydrostatic Head (waterproofness rating) of 20,000 and a Moisture Vapour Transmission rating for breathability of 20,000 g/m2/24h - a very balanced position.
A further Durable Water Repellency™ finish boosts water repellency of the fabric surface and maintains 80% of its effectiveness after twenty washes.
2-layer Barricade™
A sound choice for complete waterproof protection and good breathability for active outdoor use - but where the very lowest weight and smallest pack size is not critical. Polyamide options offer durability and abrasion resistance.
The Durable Water Repellency™ treated, water repellent face fabric and the waterproof-breathable membrane are bonded together. A loose lining protects the membrane and wicks away moisture.

Washing Instructions
Caring for your Rohan Barricade™ waterproof will improve its performance and longevity. Simply machine wash your item at 30C with a gentle non-biological, liquid detergent. We recommend a second rinse to remove all traces of detergent from the fabric. Don’t use fabric conditioners, dryer sheets, stain removers or bleaching agents as these can impair the fabric performance. Garments may be drip dried. To rejuvenate the finish tumble dry your waterproof on the coolest setting, ensuring it is fully dry to complete the process.
Your Barricade™ waterproof has a Durable Water Repellency finish on the surface of the fabric. Over time, with wear and exposure to the environment, this can degrade, stopping water beading up on the surface of the jacket. Cleaning your waterproof will help maintain the finish. If necessary a re-proofing product, such as Grangers Clothing Wash + Repel, may be used to restore the DWR. This can be used in your wash cycle and is activated by a cool tumble dry.

Wind - Highly Wind Resistant
Cutting down windchill can make more difference to your comfort and safety than the amount of insulation you are wearing. Garments that carry this icon are Highly Wind Resistant.
Rain - Totally Waterproof
Wet clothing transmits body heat nearly twenty-five times faster than dry. All clothing with this symbol is guaranteed to be totally waterproof. And highly breathable membrane technology means that you won’t get wet from inside either.
Secure Pockets x4
Pocket science at Rohan is all about precision and detail of design, but most of all, it’s about keeping your most important stuff safe at times when losing keys, passports and wallet is more than just an inconvenience. We use several different methods – whichever is the most appropriate. Some pockets are completely hidden with micro zips, some are touch and close with roll-over tops and some are high quality zips.
Packpocket
Good design is more often about what to take off than what to put on. And clever design is about giving one feature two functions, that’s why many Rohan garments feature an internal mesh stretch pocket that doubles as a Packpocket™ for easy storage.
Barricade
Conventional waterproof fabrics cannot adapt to the changing weather outside and the changing micro-climate inside. Barricade™ is different, it is dynamic and responds to your body temperature and the humidity of the surrounding environment. The sweatier and steamier things get inside, the better the membrane works and the more vapour escapes.
Durable Water Repellency
Our durable water resistant finish, which forces water droplets to ‘bead up’ and run off the outside of the jacket, is designed to remain at 80% efficiency – even after 20 washes.
Lightweight - Weight: 800.0g
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Packable - Pack Size: 2300.0ml
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
Fast Drying - Drying Time: 10.0 hours
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
