What Makes A Craghoppers Fleece?

When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, having the right gear is crucial. Layering up during the Winter months can not only provide you with extra comfort, it could be essential to your exploration depending on your environment. In this blog, we’ll discuss our wide range of fleece, including our brand new technology CO2 Renu.

Within our range of ever-reliant collection of fleece, there are a wide range of styles and technologies that form the backbone of our midlayer collection. Consisting of half-zips, full-zips and sweatshirts, our fleece all made from feather-light microfleece material, providing you with breathability, but still insulating enough to keep you warm during those colder outdoor adventures.

From simple styles such as our Men's Langdon Crew Neck, to bolder designs such as the Women's Eabha Overhead, fleece are part made from recycling plastic bottles into polyester, reducing carbon emissions and landfill waste. By repurposing materials like PET bottles into high-performance fleece, we not only reduce the demand for virgin resources but also helps minimize the impact of plastic on our planet.

Furthermore, we place a strong emphasis on ethical and responsible manufacturing processes and fair labour practices, ensuring that our entire supply chain adheres to stringent environmental standards.

Products that has been ever-present in our range, the Corey Fleece and its sister the Miska Fleece have been a staple of our brand and remain to this day our two best-selling products. True pioneers, they both were the first from our fleece range to be created with recyclable materials.

A lightweight fleece, they are perfect for those that are on the move but in need of an extra layer of insulation, or if you're out in very cold temperatures, they act as the perfect midlayer underneath your waterproof jacket.

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.
