Vintage Rohan Clothing Care ?

[Silverclaws2]

What would folk recommend for the washing and reproofing of Rohan garments made from the fabric: Polyamide, (Axiom, Goa, & Backpacker) one garment of which (Axiom) also sports a hydrophillic laminate of which is clamed to offer permanent water repellancy?

Though not campfire proof, this stuff is tough and long lasting as am still sporting an Olfio from the 1980's

I would look at the Nikwax care products. They have a range of options and the support pages for each are quite good.

And you can try Rohan themselves perhaps?
You can't be the only one in this position...

Pretty sure it comes in smaller packs too though.

A VERY useful link.
Thank you.

I have some very old Rohan kit, and it's still sound, still looks good, still pieces I like.

I wish more modern outdoor clothing was as reliable.

Yup my oldest is an '80's Olfio, of which in the winter I used to wear under a Survival Aids double ventile Arctic Ranger ( of which grrr, my mother threw out)

I like Rohan, Rohan defines it's own fashion.

Stuff that lasts isn't that good for commerce hence the need for fashion.

My later ' Backpacker ' top is a garment that I would hope to get copied if it ever wears out.

I have a smart Rohan tropical weight jacket from days gone by. It’s still good but our circumferences are incompatible. I simply do what Is says on the label.

I always fancied one of their travel suits - no reason to wear it except to be smart on the occasional holiday flight though..

Quite a bit of Rohan stuff on Ebay, I've bought a few garments at very reasonable prices.
