Women’s Craghoppers Ascent Over Trousers – Who is the brand Craghoppers?Back in 1965, Craghoppers started like most epic adventures do. A couple of competitive outdoor enthusiasts, a few new ambitious ideas and a bit of ‘I bet you can’t’ banter. We challenged ourselves to design the ultimate clothing for the harshest adventures and then to test it, by wearing it from the beautiful British Peak District to the heights of Everest. Kitting out one of the first British expeditions to Everest influences everything we do today. We’ve since made it our life’s work to travel the world for inspiration, designing the most sustainable innovative outdoor gear for every adventure and environment. It’s a winning formula that’s made us Britain’s leading authority in outdoor and adventure travel clothing.1973

Chris Bonington’s ascent of Everest
Founders Gaskin and Holmes were cherry-picked to manufacture the expedition Everest expedition in 1975 – the first successful climb by ascending the face of the mountain. Since then we’ve been committed to designing protective outdoor clothing to cope with any extreme. Craghoppers breaches worn by Junko Tabei, the first woman to summit Everest.1996
The launch of our iconic Craghoppers’ Kiwi trouser, an instant best-seller.
At the very core of our ambition was the need to produce the best in protective walking trousers. Walking trousers that not only lock out the elements but that move with you as you explore. Since the launch of our classic Kiwi trousers we have since gone on to develop their construction, creating a new generation of technical walking trousers.1999
AquaDry Technology
Back in 1992 we created the breakthrough system, a waterproof fabric technology that would become a winning formula for Craghoppers. Made by climbers and tested through Scottish and Norwegian winters, the Breakthrough system was eventually available to buy in 1993. It later evolved to become our AquaDry waterproof system in 1999 – a fabric technology that would make our jackets completely waterproof and breathable.

The world’s first to launch a range of insect-repellent adventure clothing; Nosquito which would later become Nosilife. Each of our protective garments has a purpose. And one travel worry that we had not yet conquered was the transfer of harmful conditions via biting insects. We made it our mission to kit out adventurers with insect repellent clothing. So we got to work. And in 2002 we launched the first iteration – the world’s first and only permanent insect protective clothing range.2003

Craghoppers and Bear Grylls unite.
We first started working with Bear Grylls in 2006 and later collaborated to produce a range of Bear Grylls clothing made with his adventures in mind. To withstand everything the elements could possibly throw at him, the Craghoppers and Bear Grylls collaboration soon led to a collection. As a survival expert with experience in the SAS we knew Bear Grylls would push our design team to the limit.2007

Craghoppers launches in the U.S2014
The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund is dedicated to the protection of gorillas in their natural habitat of Africa. In 2014, we offered to support the work that they do in honour of Dr Dian Fossey’s legacy. The best way we knew how? We supplied the Dian Fossey team with protective clothing so that their researchers and conservationists could carry out their work more comfortably. But we wanted to do more. To get more people involved. So, we collaborated with the Dian Fossey team again, alongside Craghoppers ambassador, Peter McBride, and Sir David Attenborough on a film called Hope.
