Craghoppers first started making clothes specifically designed for the outdoors back in 1965. A group of guys in West Yorkshire were planning to climb Everest and wanted gear to withstand the harshest of conditions, so they researched and designed fabrics that would protect them from the extreme cold. All their preparation paid off as they successfully reached the summit of Everest. This was the birth of Craghoppers.

So this is their heritage and, based in Manchester, Craghoppers have continued to develop fabrics and clothes designed to protect you, whether the conditions are very hot or very cold.

However, they're not a group of people satisfied to sit on their laurels; they're passionate about pushing the boundaries of fabric technology: being innovative is in their DNA. Craghoppers recognise that nowadays people have much greater access to travel, all over the world, and at all times of the year. They like to think that whether you're walking in Scotland, watching polar bears in the Artic, or trampling through the rain forest, you have an appropriate set of gear.

Craghoppers are also proud to be working with Bear Grylls in producing a range of clothes based on the design of his very own gear that he uses in extreme conditions. Their innovation and expertise, coupled with Bear's thirst for adventure, have proved to be a rewarding and successful partnership.

Everything they do is a result of their shared passion for travel and the outdoors. They live to travel, and use their knowledge to make sure their products are the best they can possibly be.

Travel and outdoor clothing for an extraordinary world.
