Back in 1965 when Craghoppers hit upon the idea of turning a passion for travel into a bona fide business, the team felt like they were embarking on an exciting and at times perilous trip into the unknown. Looking back and their perseverance paid off and Craghoppers is now recognised as a global outdoor and adventure travel specialist.

The world may have moved on in the last 56 years, but our mission today is the same as it was - to create comfortable and practical clothing ranges to help our customers stay on the trail for as long as possible. And every year, we get that little bit better. By introducing new designs, using the latest technologies, keeping sustainability at the heart of everything we do and bringing that special spirit of innovation, our products are more comfortable, lighter, more waterproof, insulating and sun-protective than ever before.

Introducing, the world’s first fleece made partly using pollution.

At Craghoppers, we are serious about innovation that reduces our impact on the planet. Working with industry experts, LanzaTech, we have created CO2Renu, a technology that transforms carbon emissions into fabric. CO2Renu uses 100% recycled fabric, which includes (up to) 30% of fibres made from capturing carbon emissions before they are emitted into the atmosphere.

The process reshapes carbon waste by using carbon emissions as the starting point to create some of Craghoppers recycled polyester blends. CO2Renu technology is an innovative way of recycling carbon emissions from industry, that would otherwise be emitted as CO₂, whilst helping reduce the carbon footprint of the fabric.

We are doing what we can, where we can, to look after our planet. By the end of 2021, we will have recycled over 50,000,000 plastic bottles and consequently prevented them from polluting our oceans. From Autumn 2021, 70% of our products will be made from recycled materials. Craghoppers are taking a huge sustainable step forward without compromising on the technical details.
