The 'Movi' was priced at £52 and in 4 colourways in 1991-(though the colour you have was produced in 1992 and is Blue/Jade -the jokes of "have you got a blue movi?" are still childishly funny today!) To quote from the catalogue' A new over the head windproof top. The Movi is an intermediate layer based on the Moving On but with improved design features.On its own,the Movi can be worn as a shirt for everyday wear or as a windproof top for cycling or running.In breezy,dry weather the new raglan sleeves are roomy enough to wear over a fleece or a shirt.Altogether an exceptionally versatile garment with colours to suit every taste'. The fabric was Airlight-50% Cotton 50% Polyester i.e Bags fabric The Movi is one of a number of lightweight over the head designs since the early 80's through to the present day Goa Top. The 'Shamal' was priced at £95 in 4 colourways-yours is Graphite/Amethyst.The fabric was Micro-tex which was the one of the first nylon microfibre garment Rohan produced. To quote from the catalogue 'A mid-length jacket for all activities made from Micro-Tex with incredible windproof and comfort qualities. The Shamal can be zipped onto the Erebus Fleece Jacket,extending its use into cold weather'. Hope this helps Ben Evans-Rohan Keswick Hi Bruce
