A few weeks ago the CEO of Rohan cloth­ing emailed me and asked if I would write them a guest post for their new web­site Rohantime.com.

I was delighted, so I wrote them 3.

The first has just been pub­lished, I am cross-posting it here:

Rohan Trav­el­ling Light

When vis­it­ing 12 coun­tries over a one-year period, you won­der how you will change.  So much is hap­pen­ing to you all at once, so many choices, so many exper­i­ences and so many influ­ences.  Trav­el­ling can become men­tally drain­ing for those who are unpre­pared.  I knew that when it came to our kit, our only trav­el­ling pos­ses­sions, we needed to have things that would last, yes, but also things that would ground us.  It is very easy to lose one­self out in the adven­ture.  We needed to be ready for any­thing that might arise.  That is what was going through my mind when we went shop­ping.  This stuff needed to work or it would not last the rig­ors of what I had planned.

That is when we went to Rohan Cov­ent Garden. The shop­ping exper­i­ence was a cut above the rest and the selec­tion easy to make.  Even­tu­ally, we came away with Rohan clothes for all the parts of the body and all the sea­sons we would be encoun­ter­ing;  winter in New Zea­l­and, sum­mer in India, the shoulders of “The Wet” in Thai­l­and and the end­less heat of Singa­pore.  In order to pack as small as pos­sible, and as secure as pos­sible, we needed to buy a small amount of clothes that were light and quick dry­ing.  We also wanted to be able to step out of the wild and into a din­ing hall without stand­ing out.  Rohan had all these fea­tures and more.

My selec­tion highlights.

Rohan Cloud­base jacket. This is the staple of my kit.  Light and yet fully water­proof.  Warm, but able to be worn in the heat.  When packed it also makes a great pil­low for long bus jour­neys; this jacket has it all!

Rohan Travel linen shirt.  This amaz­ing fab­ric is tough and light.  It also looks good whenever I wear it, be it on the moun­tain in New Zea­l­and or on the rooftop bar of a Swish Mum­bai hotel.

Rohan Cross­bor­der trousers.  I have only brought two pair of trousers with me.  These, unlike the oth­ers from another brand, look as good today as they did on day one.  They have been through hell and back in the jungles of Thai­l­and, but still do not raise an eye­brow in a good hotel.

Rohan Bhutan walk­ing shoes.  The Bhutan’s are water­proof, some­thing I have field tested many times, they are also very com­fort­able and even after being used in the deserts of Jais­almer they don’t smell; unlike the camel I was riding!

Whether diving off the Great Bar­rier Reef, climb­ing New Zealand’s Mount John, nav­ig­at­ing Singapore’s night mar­kets, boat­ing the Mekong, trekking into Thailand’s jungles, fight­ing off the dirt of Mum­bai, relax­ing on the beach in Goa or track­ing tigers on Safari my Rohan clothes and gear have per­formed above and bey­ond all my expect­a­tions.  With my kit in place I can relax and let the adven­ture take me.

I can’t wait for where they take me next!
