Famous for their great quality outdoor kit and perhaps best known for their hugely successful Kiwi and NosiLife ranges, Craghoppers is an innovative British brand that is always striving to find better, more environmentally friendly ways of making products, without compromising on quality and performance.
Sustainability has always been high on their list of priorities, and this year more than ever. 70% of the Craghoppers 2020 Autumn/Winter collection will be made from recycled materials, a huge increase from the 12% of last year’s range. They are committed to their Mindfully Made ethos, which includes responsibly sourced materials as well as sustainable products and conservation, and has resulted in the brand recycling over 30 million plastic bottles to be used in their kit.
From trousers to waterproofs to packs, Craghoppers are finding new ways to implement recycled materials in padding, buttons, zips, lining material and loads more. Plus, on top of all this, they are also reducing the amount of paper used in swing tags, using less water in the dyeing process and using more eco-friendly dyes.
Here are some examples of products from the new collection:
Elison Jacket
This insulated waterproof jacket is the perfect bit of kit to keep you warm and dry in wintery weather. With its AquaDry Membrane, breathable insulation and astounding nine pockets, the Elison is a stylish and practical addition to your winter wardrobe. Plus, about 95 plastic bottles have been recycled to make each product.
Kiwi Pro II Trousers
The new Kiwi Pro II Trousers are all about technical performance and active fit. If you like to get out and about no matter the weather, these feature-heavy adventure trousers are a great choice. With UV protection, SmartDry Eco finish and streamlined fit for excellent freedom of movement, there’s nothing to hold you back on the trails. Plus each pair contains approximately 280g of recycled materials.
