The debut workwear collection B
ritish outdoor and adventure travel clothing brand Craghoppers reintroduced Craghoppers Expert to the professional market in 2021. Answering calls for high-quality, technical uniform, the brand acted on feedback from the market and introduced the debut workwear collection from Craghoppers Workwear in 2024.
For example, the Richmond Stretch Workwear Jacket comes with a helmet compatible, rolldown hood, high reach panelling, odour control patches to the underarms, secure zipped pockets and the jacket can be adjusted throughout to create a tight seal against bad weather. The Expert and Workwear ranges are crafted by a team of specialist designers who apply Craghoppers’ extensive knowledge of outdoor and adventure technology to the range.
In the case of the Richmond Jacket, the brand’s acclaimed AquaDry waterproofing technology is a key feature. This expert knowledge is applied consistently throughout both collections.
Technologies you will find are… • AquaDry
Craghoppers’ breathable waterproofing technology can be found in other jackets like the Expert Active Jacket. • H2OShield
A plant based durable water repellency made from a renewable source in keeping with Craghoppers’ sustainable philosophy. This water repellency can be found in all jackets and legwear like the Sheffield Holster Trouser that has features like reinforced pockets and stitching, a hammer loop, and removable holster pockets.
• ThermoPro
This specially constructed high loft insulation gives comparable warmth to a natural down but has been constructed in a more sustainable way by using part-recycled materials to create the fill.
