SUSTAINABLE OUTDOOR GEAR: OUR TOP PICKS

WHAT MAKES CRAGHOPPERS POPULAR?

In a world where consumer choices increasingly influence the future of our planet, ethical and sustainable practices have become
paramount. When it comes to outdoor apparel, one company stands out as a shining example: Craghoppers.

With a commitment to sustainability, Craghoppers is setting new standards in the industry. This blog post explores how Craghoppers exemplifies ethical and sustainable practices, making them a brand worth supporting for conscious adventurers, while also highlighting our top sustainable essentials.

MICROPLASTICS

Craghoppers understand the harmful effects of microplastic shedding on our water systems. That’s why they take extra steps to produce microfleece in a way that helps remove excess fibres. Craghoppers use a vacuum to collect any lost microfibres during the manufacturing process, which reduces shedding. These collected fibres are then recycled and repurposed for wall insulation.
For a consciously-made fleece that provides excellent insulation, all year round, try the Expert Corey 200 fleece half-zip (CR317). The Corey offers a lightweight, active fit for maximum freedom of movement and is crafted from recycled polyester.

ETHICALLY-MADE FABRICS

Much like the Expert Corey 200 fleece half-zip, the Expert Kiwi long-sleeved shirt (CR540) is sustainably made with recycled polyester, with the addition of Better Cotton. Better Cotton aims to help cotton communities survive and thrive while protecting the environment. Click here to read more about the initiative. In addition to its quality fabrics, we love the many features of the Expert Kiwi long-sleeved shirt, including its three convenient pockets, zipped hidden pocket for security and a relaxed fit that can be worn as a midlayer or baselayer. This shirt provides UPF 40+ sun protection and is also available for women in the Expert women’s Kiwi long-sleeved shirt (CR541).

PFC-FREE TECHNOLOGY

Stay dry in any weather with Craghoppers’ impressive selection of waterproof clothing. Craghoppers is committed to preserving the environment and human health by eliminating per and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) from their waterproof products. PFC-free technology ensures that their outdoor apparel is both high-performing and eco-friendly.

Choose from various waterproof clothing options, including the Expert active jacket (CR322), Expert active hooded softshell (CR321) and Expert Kiwi pro stretch trousers (CR233), all of which are perfect for unpredictable weather and can be paired with insulating layers. Craghoppers waterproofs are also sustainable, as they’re made from recycled materials and treated with EcoShield DWR, a plant-based solution that provides effective PFC-free waterproofing. Craghoppers are so confident in the durability and craftsmanship of their Expert clothing range that all garments have a Guarantee for Life.
