An OS map is approximately 24cm long as sold; the pocket was at most 18cm long. "It fits if you fold the map in half", said the designer!

The problem with Rohan is that they have long ceased to be the company which was founded by Paul and Sarah Howcroft in the 1970's. I had a some early windproof tops and trousers. Unbeatable. Now the company has been sold on and seems to spend half the year selling off 'last season's' stock at gradually increasing discounts before each sale period ends. The designs have been 'copied' and there is nothing special in their range.
