Craghoppers Outdoor Apparel

Founded in 1965 in Batley, West Yorkshire, Craghoppers was established by a group of outdoor enthusiasts who wanted to create clothing capable of withstanding the harshest environments. The brand gained significant prestige for its technical innovations, including the development of insect-repellent fabrics (NosiLife) and travel-specific outdoor gear.

In 1995, the brand was acquired by the Regatta Group, a move that helped expand its reach from a niche technical brand to a global leader in travel and adventure apparel. While the brand originated and maintains its design and corporate headquarters in the United Kingdom, manufacturing is primarily outsourced to various countries with expertise in technical garment production to ensure high-performance standards across their diverse product line.
