eVent
eVent fabric is a Direct Venting waterproof barrier that marks a significant advancement in ePTFE laminate technology. Using proprietary and patented Dry System technology, eVENT Fabric sets a new standard for comfort by allowing perspiration to dissipate and vent without saturating the inside of the fabric.
Where other so-called 'breathable' waterproof fabrics function by an indirect, slow process of absorption and evaporation, only eVENT® fabric technology offers Direct Venting of perspiration through microscopic vents engineered into its membrane. eVENT fabric is the first waterproof fabric to provide this kind of breath-ability.
At the core of eVENT Fabric is an ePTFE (expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene) film that has been rendered oil-repellant, and thereby free from body-oil contamination, via a method that retains both the inherent open-pore structure of the membrane as well as its hydrophobic properties.
The eVENT family of fabrics are the smartest choice for athletes and adventurers who need and demand the highest possible performance and comfort from their apparel and footwear.
Most importantly, eVENT Fabric presents an improvement you will actually feel.

Aqua Dry
AquaDry is the waterproof, windproof and breathable fabric used in all Craghopper's shell garments. It is guaranteed for three years and provides the optimum levels of comfort whether you are trekking at high altitude on the Inca Trail or hiking the West Highland Way.
AquaDry Pro is Craghopper's premium waterproof and breathable fabric, being slightly heavier but more robust than AquaDry Lite. Garments made from this fabric are ideal for extensive global travel, high level trekking and hill walking but also comfortable enough to wear around town. The fabric has a hydrostatic head of 25 metres and a breathability of 85%..
Craghoppers' Aquadry Response Technology means fabrics that literally respond 'intelligently' to the body's changing state. Comfort is increased by the absorption of moisture and the generation of heat which promotes advanced breath-ability.
PolartecThe World's finest fleece fabric - thermal performance without compromise. Available in three weights for versatility, this fabric offers the ultimate in comfort and thermal efficiency without excessive weight and bulk.
Polartec 100 is ideal as a thick thermal base layer or a thin middle layer to wear underneath a breathable shell.
Polartec 200 is ideal as a general-purpose insulating layer worn over thinner layers and underneath a breathable shell.
Polartec 300 is the thickest and warmest fabric - ideal for those who feel the cold or for low activity situations such as bird watching.

Polartec Thermal Pro
Polartec Thermal Pro fabric is the most durable of the Polartec thermal fabrics. It offers excellent breathability and provides outstanding warmth without weight.
Unlike conventional fleece fabrics, Polartec Thermal Pro maintains its insulating ability and non-piling appearance after repeated washing and represents the state of the art in fleece fabrics.

- The most durable fleece fabric available
- Provides warmth without the weight and bulk
- Very breathable and provide comfort in all activities
- Dries quickly to minimize heat loss
Polartec Wind Bloc
Polartec Windbloc is ideal in cold windy conditions when an outer shell garment isn't necessary. The fabric is 100% windproof, breathable and warm.
Nosquito
Nosquito insect repellent fabrics offer unparalleled protection from biting insects by having a pyrethoid chemical impregnated into the fabric. The chemical is odourless, non-toxic (unlike DEET-based products) and lasts for a minimum of 35 washes. The fabric is effective against a wide range of biting insects including mosquitoes, midges and sand flies making all garments ideal for serious global adventure travel. Craghoppers Nosquito range was launched in 2002 and was the first of its kind in the world. Independent testing and research in conjunction with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine - has seen the range grow to include clothing, accessories and repellents.
Down
All Craghopper's down garments use high quality duck down mixed with 20% feathers. Down is the best insulator because it has superior warmth without weight and it packs down to a very small size. Craghopper's down garments are not waterproof but water resistant - if the down becomes wet, it clumps together and becomes ineffective at trapping air. To extend the life of a down garment, store it unpacked in a wardrobe, not stuffed into its storage bag.

Gore-Tex
GORE-TEX® waterproof breathable technology retains its premier position as both a world and weather beater, offering a full range of excellent value for money products that help you get the most of life outdoors.
GORE-TEX® led the way in protection and performance and through remarkable innovation has developed over the years to stay miles ahead since its inception. Its unrivalled performance has been developed steadily through research and innovation to embrace a wide range of activities and Gore's expertise has been put to excellent use developing other fabrics and technologies that help make life outdoors enjoyable - whatever the weather.
The most durably waterproof, very breathable outerwear in the world is made from GORE-TEX® fabric; it is also totally windproof. It is made by laminating a waterproof membrane (a composite of expanded polyetrafluoroethylene - ePTFE - and an oil hating substance) to a variety of fabrics suited to outdoor conditions.

Epic
Thanks to advanced encapsulation technology, Craghopper's have made traditional fabrics waterproof, breathable & windproof. Craghopper's Epic fabric literally repels rain, water or spills of any kind. And because the protection is inside the fabric, encapsulating the actual individual fibres, it remains breathable and offers long lasting weatherproof performance, wash after wash.
