MINDFULLY MADE

We are committed to making our products in a more sustainable way.

Since winning Drapers Sustainable Fashion Brand of the Year award in 2020, we have continued to look for new ways to work and new technologies to use, to help us make positive progress each year.

We are accountable for our actions and by joining Cascale (was Sustainable Apparel Coalition) in 2022, we have been setting targets to continuously assess our performance against the best sustainability initiatives around, using the Higg Index to enable us to report.

We launched our CO2Renu technology in 2023, in collaboration with industry experts, LanzaTech. The future forward technology of reshaping carbon waste by using CO2 emissions as the starting point, to create some of our recycled polyester blends, has been welcomed by retailers and consumers. The range continues to expand, having started with a fleece, to include a waterproof jacket and trousers.

Protection Against Rain

Waterproof and breathable. Craghoppers Expert garments conform to class 3:1.

WATERPROOFNESS

Waterproofness of the material is measured by testing the level of resistance to water penetration (Wp).

Hydrostatic pressure is measured in a column of water (in Pascals) until water penetrates the fabric.

The European Standard ‘EN 343:2019 Protection against rain’ distinguishes between four classes of a garments performance, based on separate water-proofness and breathability capabilities.

BREATHABILITY

The water vapour permeability or breathability of a garment is tested by measuring its resistance to water vapour. The lower the Ret value, the higher the breathability of the material.

Benefits

Craghoppers is renowned for its features and benefits, we pay great care and attention to ensure each garment has the added features and functionality that it might need.

A NTI-INSECT S UN-PROTECTIVE RECYCLED MATERIALS

Throughout the collection we have sought to use recycled materials where possible.

A thermal fabric layer in the lining that reflects body heat for when the temperature drops.

Product Guarantee

We understand that it is in a working environment an amount of wear and tear in inevitable, however we are confident in our quality of manufacturing and offer a lifetime guarantee on the seams of our workwear. If the seams of a garment split, we’ll repair or replace it.
