A British outdoor clothing specialist founded in Manchester in 1965, whose workwear range brings technical outdoor fabric technology to professional working environments. It is lightweight, durable and weather-resistant clothing used by utility engineers, field workers and countryside professionals across the UK.
About Craghoppers Workwear
Craghoppers was founded in Manchester in 1965, building its reputation on technical outdoor and travel clothing engineered for performance in real outdoor environments rather than aspirational outdoor aesthetics. The brand became well known for its lightweight, packable waterproofs, its travel trousers using fabrics like Kiwi Pro and NosiLife, and a practical approach to garment design that put function ahead of fashion.
The workwear extension of the Craghoppers brand applies the same technical fabric philosophy to professional working environments. For workers who spend their days outdoors, such as utility field engineers, telecoms installation teams, countryside management, environmental monitoring and rail infrastructure inspection, the difference between standard site workwear and a garment built with proper outdoor technical fabrics is significant over the course of a full working day in UK weather. Craghoppers workwear is lighter, more breathable and often more weatherproof than equivalent hi-vis or standard workwear alternatives.
The workwear range is CE certified where applicable, with waterproofs to EN 343 and hi-vis products to EN ISO 20471, which means Craghoppers can be specified as compliant PPE workwear rather than just outdoor clothing with work applications. For organisations that need their field teams to be both properly protected and comfortable during extended outdoor work, that combination is genuinely useful.
Products We Can Supply from Craghoppers Workwear
Technical waterproof jackets. Aquadry and Rainshield waterproof jackets in both standard and hi-vis configurations, rated to EN 343 for waterproof and windproof performance. They are lighter and more packable than conventional construction-site waterproofs, which makes them practical for field workers who travel between locations rather than staying in one place all day. The hi-vis versions carry EN ISO 20471 Class 2 or 3 ratings as appropriate.
Work trousers and field trousers. Kiwi Pro and equivalent fabric work trousers with reinforced knees, multiple pockets and a cut designed for outdoor mobility rather than smart-casual office wear. They are significantly lighter than traditional heavy-duty work trousers while keeping the abrasion resistance outdoor fieldwork needs, and they come in standard and short lengths.
Fleeces and mid layers. Technical fleece jackets and gilets for use as mid layers under waterproofs or as standalone garments in milder conditions. Craghoppers fleeces use fabrics that balance insulation value, weight and bulk, which is relevant for workers who need to manage their body temperature across a varied outdoor working day.
Base layers and accessories. Moisture-wicking base layers, sun-protective shirts and hats, and technical accessories for outdoor field workers. NosiLife insect-repellent fabric is incorporated into some garments, which is relevant for field workers in environments where biting insects are a real discomfort concern.
Industries
Craghoppers workwear is used by utility field engineers, telecoms and broadband installation teams, rail infrastructure inspection and maintenance, water and environmental agency field workers, countryside and estate management, National Park and nature reserve staff, agricultural consultants, environmental monitoring teams, and any professional role requiring sustained outdoor working in UK weather conditions.

Good to Know
For field workers whose role involves a lot of walking or vehicle-to-site transit, the weight and packability of workwear matters more than it does on a static construction site. A Craghoppers waterproof that weighs 400 g and packs into its own pocket is far more practical than a 1.2 kg PVC-coated alternative when it has to be carried for hours before it’s needed.
