Branded Haglöfs ROC Flash Down Jacket Men

This jacket was added to solve a specific problem I repeatedly encountered in the field: the need for reliable, immediate warmth during static periods in cold, exposed environments - without excess bulk or unnecessary complexity.

I use this jacket regularly on expeditions where conditions shift quickly: early mornings, long waits with wildlife, sudden temperature drops and remote locations where failure is not an option. The design prioritises warmth, packability, and function over trend or seasonal styling.

Why I Use It

The ROC Flash Jacket is built as a true field layer. It goes on fast, retains heat efficiently, and disappears into a pack when not needed. The hood is not decorative - it is integral, designed to lock in warmth during wind and inactivity.

Design Principles

• Purpose-built insulation for maximum warmth relative to weight
• Hooded construction for heat retention in exposed conditions
• Clean, minimal design to reduce failure points
• Understated branding - chosen to remain appropriate in professional and remote settings
• Durable materials selected for longevity, not trend cycles

Every decision in this jacket reflects the same criteria I apply to my wider expedition kit: reliability first, simplicity always.

How It Fits Into the Field Kit

This is a stop-layer - used when movement slows or stops. It pairs with a hard shell in wet or windy conditions and compresses easily when stowed. It is one of the lightest options available and has proven dependable time and time again.
